Helen Flanagan defended by soap star after ‘vile’ comments from trolls
Former Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter called out ‘vile’ trolls targeting Helen Flanagan in latest Instagram post.
Ex Coronation Street actress Helen, 32, clapped back at cruel remarks suggesting she looks pregnant.
Helen recently hard launched her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot on the reality series Celebs Go Dating, and shared the pictures on Instagram.
The star posed in a white halterneck bikini top and matching sarong as she posed by a pool.
However, the empowering post was met with cruel comments regarding her weight, with many suggesting Helebn was ‘pregnant.’
Corrie and Hollyoaks star Kirsty commented in response:’I’m in absolute SHOCK at some of the vile comments I’ve read on here?!! Are you people ok????
‘Like what on earth goes through that one brain cell of yours?! Not cool, absolutely not funny and proper s****y. Helen you are a beautiful person inside & out and I’m proud of you!’
Helen ‘went public’ with Robbie at her birthday party on August 10, with friends saying she was ‘smitten’.
She split from her previous partner, ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, in 2022 after 13 years together and three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
Helen previously shocked the dating experts when she said it was ‘really difficult’ to reveal that she was dating Robbie, adding: ‘ I have been totally honest – I am a very, very honest person.’
She explained she was confessing her then-secret romance as her feelings for Robbie had ‘only got stronger and more intense’ and she could now see a future with him.
‘I think I am in love with him and it’s becoming quite difficult now,’ Helen shared.
Expert Paul Carrick Brunson made it clear he was pretty annoyed with Helen, calling her out for ‘lying’ and ‘wasting our time’
Her Celebs Go Dating co-stars also looked taken aback but laughed the bombshell off, with Married at First Sight’s Ella Morgan jokingly labelling Helen ‘an absolute player’.
