Helen Flanagan strips to bikini to celebrate her 30th birthday

Helen Flanagan is making the most of her ruined birthday plans – by showing lapping up some luxury on a staycation after being forced to abort a trip to Ibiza.

The Coronation Street star was meant to be lapping up the sun in the Balearic Islands off the coast of mainland Spain as she prepares to wave goodbye to her twenties.

But she was forced to change plans after the Government changed the air bridge policy with Spain to require all travellers entering the UK from the European nation to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival amid coronavirus concerns – torpedoing Helen’s party plans as a consequence.

But far from wallowing in self pity, Helen has instead found a luxurious way to prepare herself for turning 30-years-old next week – by relaxing at a spa in London.

Stripping to a black and gold print bikini, the soap star looked thrilled to be indulging in a little bit of luxury.

Striking a pose – and showing off her incredibly toned figure – the mum-of-two beamed for a photo.

Uploading the snap to Instagram, the star revealed she was enjoying a staycation with her footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair, 31, and away from their daughters.

Helen wrote: “Spa trip with hubs for my 30th.

“Much as I adore my baby girls it’s so nice to have some peace.”

She also hinted she may have rather been enjoying Mediterranean sunshine – but didn’t sound too disappointed, continuing: “Thankyou mum bikini @pourmoiltd was supposed to be wearing this in Ibiza but London spa will do just fine.”

Earlier this week, Helen revealed she had cancelled plans for a trip to Ibiza after the UK government cancelled the “air bridge” to Spain – meaning travellers returning from the EU country will be required to self quarantine for two weeks upon landing back in the UK.

She said on Monday: “I should have been flying to Ibiza this morning but obviously with the new quarantine rule we cancelled our flights.”

She added in her Instagram Stories post: “I really do feel for people who are in Spain at the moment.”

The soap actress turned 30-years-old on Friday 7 August 2020.
