Helen Flanagan, a former Corrie star, ranted on social media and criticized mum-shamers who told her to “cover up” in front of her kids because they would be “ashamed” if they saw her.

Former Corrie star Helen Flanagan has taken to social media to hit out at mum-shamers who have told her to cover up in front of her kids, as they state her kids would be ‘ashamed’ of her. Helen first jumped on the camera to show off her sparkly suit, which she revealed she was wearing to Manchester Pride. Under the suit, she donned a stylish Prada bralette, which accentuated her cleavage.

Helen warned her followers, “I will probably receive nasty comments because I’m exposing my cleavage.” She then explained why she wanted to get implants and claimed that she used to be able to tie her boobs “in a bow” after breastfeeding for three more years.

She said: “I actually get comments, all the time, like ‘oh you’re a mum, you should cover up, your kids would be ashamed of you’, like this is actually my body. Even though I have had surgery from breastfeeding my children, which caused lots of excess skin to my boobs, and put an implant in to make them up again, these are actually their natural size so should I be ashamed of how I look because I am a mum?”

The mother of three continued, “I don’t think there is anything shameful about being confident and attractive, and I don’t think that makes you a bad mother.” Don’t get me wrong, I try to teach my children the value of kindness, even though I’m not perfect. Never let go of another woman.

Helen continued, “I don’t feel 35, I don’t feel like a mature person,” and that she prefers to dress “young.” She claimed she will still dress however she wants even at the age of ten.

Helen spends a lot of her time on social media, and her followers recently praised her for making an honest video about how difficult it is to parent when her son is overly energetic at night.

As she called her son, “come to mummy,” she was captured on video lying on the floor in her pyjamas. She tried to calm her son Charlie down, but he was wildly circling the room.

Can you visit Momma, Charlie? I want to cuddle you because I love you so much. She pleaded with him to “remember your mother” as he continued to ignore her. He eventually gave in and hugged her in the air. After that, Helen and him exchanged a brief conversation to get him ready for bed.

One person praised the Celebs Go Dating star, who was quick to praise her in the comments section.

Fancied that this was amazing. You maintained his composure, which helped him (Co regulation for those without a degree out there who advises you to show him who is in charge)!

Another remarked, “Love this, you’re such a good mother. Boys are crazy, full of energy, and adoreable.

Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 12, who he shares with his late wife Rebecca, Rebecca, are now his stepchildren. Kate Ferdinand is their stepmother.

Kate Ferdinand has revealed Rio’s kids’ heartwarming reaction when she accidentally referred to herself as their mum. The former TOWIE star, 33, is a stepmum to Lorenz, 16, Tate, 14, and Tia, 12, who Rio shares with his late wife, Rebecca.

Kate, who also shares son Cree, five, and daughter Shae, two, with husband, Rio, told the Happy Place podcast that, happily, her stepkids have no problem if she calls herself their mum, instead of ‘Mummy Kate’.

Opening up about her blended family dynamic after announcing that she and Rio had moved their brood to Dubai, she said: “Sometimes I’m ‘Mummy Kate’. But the other day I found myself going ‘come here to Mummy’, and Tia’s there and I go ‘oh sorry’. Tia said ‘Kate, it’s fine, I’m OK if you say Mummy. You don’t have to say Mummy Kate. It doesn’t bother me’.”

Kate recently revealed that despite their current strong bond, she had recently moved in with Rio and her three stepchildren and spent the night crying after not receiving a card on her first Mother’s Day.

She stated on the couple’s podcast, “I wasn’t a biological mother.” We had our first Mother’s Day, in my opinion, and it was probably around six months ago. And even though I wasn’t a biological mother, I kind of assumed the role of mother.

I felt like a mother when I went from living alone to taking the kids to school and cooking them dinner.

I really thought I might get a card from you, and I didn’t get one from you, Rio said in a statement. He also lost his own mother Janice in 2017.

Because you guys lost your mother and the kids have lost theirs, I felt bad about telling them that in front of you.

I went into my room and sobbed my heart out, seriously.

How dare I want a card, I thought, “And then I felt selfish for wanting one?”

“So anyone that’s kind of new in this situation might feel like that because it’s a weird one – ‘I wasn’t a biological parent so how could I expect that?’ But I felt like a mum.”

Kate, who met Rio in Dubai in the year after meeting the sports pundit, opens up about her family life and recently teased fans by revealing that they had all relocated to the United Arab Emirates.

The mother-of-two shared a sneak peek of their new family home with her followers on Instagram, saying it was a “new chapter” for the family.

A new chapter, a fresh start, because we won’t know without trying, Kate wrote in the caption. Ahhh ! We’ve been discussing this for a while, but it finally seems like it’s happening. We’re here, we’re making a new home there, and we’ve been talking about it for a while.
