Helen Flanagan stunned fans as she slipped into a glamorous Christmas outfit and shared an emotional family update on Christmas Eve.
The former Coronation Street star, 35, looked sensational as she marked the festive occasion while juggling a demanding panto schedule and opening up about spending Christmas Day away from her children this year.
Helen, who is currently starring as the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, took to social media to speak candidly about how work has helped her cope during a difficult festive period. Despite the challenges, the mum-of-three made it clear she was staying positive and throwing herself into the role.
“Happy Christmas Eve. So I have two shows today. I am literally loving panto so much,” Helen said, beaming. “Honestly, I really, really loved it. So our last show is on the 28th but I’m loving playing the Evil Queen.”
The actress admitted the festive season looks a little different for her this year, revealing she won’t be spending Christmas Day with her children due to work commitments. Helen shares Matilda, Delilah and Charlie with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, following their split in 2022.
