Helen Flanagan has yet again had to fight off cruel trolls – but this time posing an interesting question to her followings on Tuesday.

The former Coronation Street star, 33, who is continuously put under fire for posting racy snaps in underwear on Instagram, hit back at trolls once and for all.

The mother-of-three didn’t let mum-shamers stop what she loves doing, as she shared five sexy lingerie photos alongside the caption.

She urged her followers to ‘leave the sexist mum-shaming behind’ as she doesn’t understand why ‘mum-shaming is a thing, but dad-shaming isn’t’.

Helen penned: ‘AD Here’s a question… Why is mum shaming a thing but dad shaming isn’t?

‘I’ve always been and will always be such a good mum. It’s the most important job I’ve ever done! But I’m also a woman, and it’s been a tumultuous year and honestly, I’m just learning to look after myself and have fun along the way.

‘My @annsummers lingerie always makes me feel my best self! @annsummers lingerie always makes me feel confident and sexy ✨

‘This year has been the year I’ve been reconnecting and finding myself again and honestly it is the best I’ve ever felt.

‘But each time I post I get flooded with messages calling me a bad mum or saying mums shouldn’t look or dress or behave like this.

‘But why? Why do we have this old fashioned idea of how mums should look and dress and behave?

‘Honestly, I’m happier now than ever and guess what? That makes me a better mum too.

‘I’ve always been a girl who supports other girls and to any mums who follow me going through a hard time or finding themselves again – I just wanna say I support you! Let’s leave the sexist mum shaming behind.’

The actress ignored all trolls and flaunted her sensational physique in a slew of lingerie snaps, advertising Ann Summers’ new underwear range.

The former I’m A Celebrity star share three children Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, with ex Scott Sinclair.

In one shoot, she modelled a racy blue and black one-piece while posing a sultry look lying flat on her bed.

And another saw Helen flash her surgically-enhanced breasts in a skimpy blue plunge bra with matching bottoms.

Meanwhile, Helen has reportedly been on a number of dates with David Haye while he is still in a relationship with Sian Osbourne.

Former boxing champion David, 43, and his long-term model girlfriend Sian, 31, have been dating since 2020 and they have been linked romantically while together with a number of other people, including former The Saturdays singer Una Healy, 42.

But Una was said to have left the throuple in February this year, with David and actress Helen, 33, said to have since connected once again after appearing together in the I’m A Celebrity jungle in 2012.

The pair were spotted together at a Heineken after-party following a boxing event at the Ovo Arena in London’s Wembley in May, with Sian also in attendance, according to the Mirror.

It is claimed by the publication that Helen and David were ‘flirty’, with Sian said to be totally aware of the pair’s dates.

A source close to Helen told the newspaper: ‘Helen reconnected with David earlier this year. They got on like a house on fire and have been messaging a lot since.

‘Helen and Sian have also met and hit it off straight away. Helen’s a very open-minded person and all three got on well.

‘Helen has had some difficult dating experiences since becoming single but is really enjoying David’s company.’

Former Coronation Street star Helen split from her Bristol Rovers footballer player ex Scott Sinclair last year after 13 years.

The source added: ‘Helen and David got on well in the jungle, and so have seen each other a fair bit over the years. But recently they seem to have really clicked and had that chemistry. They’re having a lot of fun together.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Helen and David for comment.
