Helen Flanagan set pulses racing in sexy black lingerie before she took a vicious swipe at ex Scott Sinclair on Instagram on Tuesday.

On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship.
She said they 'were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together' until one day she called it quits for good.
Helen told The Sun: 'In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I'll always be sad it didn't work out, and we still have love for each other, but we're happier apart.'
Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: 'I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don't like each other.
'We don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me.
'But I'm so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven't got another argument in me.
As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven't got the energy in me again, I've done all that with the father of my kids.'
Helen went onto say co-parenting is 'hilarious' as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don't 'argue' in front of their kids.
She continued: 'I've been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years.
'The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh.
'He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids.
'He's throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood.
'We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don't want them to see us arguing.'
The actress recently admitted that she's 'really struggling financially' after making a fortune from appearing on the ITV soap and various reality TV shows.
Amid her struggles, Helen has reduced the asking price of her six-bedroom detached home, where she once lives with Scott, on the outskirts of Bolton.
It was initially on the market for £1.5 million, but it's been dropped by £305,000 - a steep fall of 20 per cent with a new asking price of £1.19million.
The three-floored home, spanning over 5,000 square feet, was put on the market in the middle of May.
Depending on the size of the mortgage, Helen could still be set for a tidy windfall as she bought it with her ex partner, footballer Scott Sinclair, for £840,000 in June 2021.
According to the brochure, two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and living rooms - one of which is full of designer handbags, clothes and shoes, 'which really gives it the wow factor'.
Helen recently revealed that despite the house already being on the market, she doesn't know where she will move to next - admitting London might be too expensive.
She said of the future move: 'We are selling the house now which will be nice to have a change. Because I was with Scott for so long I was used to moving house a lot (because he is a footballer) so it's normal for me.
'I could now never stay in one place for too long I don't think. I like a change, I love it.'

Simon Cowell admits big worry about son Eric and says he's 'petrified' of one thing
Simon Cowell has opened up about being a father and how precious his 11-year-old son Eric is to him in a rare interview with Jeff Brazier. Simon Cowell has candidly discussed fatherhood in an interview with This Morning's Jeff Brazier. During the touching interview ahead of Father's Day this weekend, the 65-year-old spoke about how becoming a dad changed him while also voicing his concerns for his 11-year-old son. Simon welcomed his only child Eric in February 2014 with partner Lauren Silverman. The music mogul mostly keeps his family life private but Britain's Got Talent fans were treated to an unexpected onscreen appearance of Erin during an epic Golden Buzzer moment during the latest series of the show where Simon let his son press the famous buzzer. During the 2024 series, he also revealed his son was a keen drummer and now he has shared even more rare information about his boy. Speaking to father of two Jeff, Simon shared how much his son means to him. He said: "Honestly, everything. Out of everything I've ever done in my life, this is the best thing to ever happen to me. The very first time I saw his scan, I was literally obsessed." However, Simon confessed there were some down sides to parenthood as he shared his concerns for his son growing up in the modern world, the Mirror reports. He said: 'We're getting to a point where the word phone comes up. 'Oh god, here we go". The 65-year-old previously revealed he doesn't have his own personal mobile phone device. He continued: 'I'm very worried Jeff, about how much kids can see at a certain age. I grew up…Which was learning things at the right time, the right age, etcetera etcetera. I just would be petrified of him having access to anything, that would really worry me. 'I think schools put too much pressure on kids, which is, you're getting up at seven in the morning, you're coming home say at five, six in the afternoon, evening and then you've got to do two hours of homework. "It's like, they're ten, eleven, twelve years old. It's too much. I would say to any teacher watching, ban homework, you'll have happier kids and they'll do better.' Despite his demeanour softening over the years, Simon has made a name for being the mean judge, starting from his stint in 2001 on Pop Idol. When asked by Jeff what he'd do if his son wanted to get into the entertainment industry, Simon insisted he would be "absolutely honest" with him. He laughed: 'I've thought about this. What if he said to me, 'I want to be a singer' and he couldn't sing, I would be absolutely honest with him. If he couldn't, I would say, 'You know what, be a drummer'. "He actually can play the drums well but he's quite shy. You know, I walk and I hear him, and he stops. I say, 'Why are you stopping?' and he says, 'Well, I'm a bit embarrassed' and I say, 'Well don't be, you're really good.'

Love Island fans beg producers to step in and remove lad after ‘disgusting' behaviour
LOVE Island fans have insisted that one Islander should be removed from the villa after his 'disgusting' behaviour. 30-year-old Harry has come under fire after his shock betrayal on the show after ditching partner Shakira in bed for a night of passion with Helena in the Hideaway. 3 3 But his antics have been slammed by viewers who have called upon show's producers to step in and have him removed from the villa. Many fans have been left unhappy with the way he disregarded Shakira's feelings and how he continued to say one thing to her and another to Helena as he attempted to bat their feelings off one another. Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one fan grumbled of Harry: "Harry is disgusting." A second went on to pen: "Harry's acting like this and hes…thirty?" Someone else wrote: "Harry.. you lie now but trust your time will come when movie night arrives. "Switching the script on every convo you have is gonna come back to BITEEEEE." "Harry is NOTTTTT the man i thought he'd be, he is a walking, talking RED FLAG," added a fourth. As another insisted both he and Helena should be removed for their antics, saying: "I want Helena and Harry OUT. Out NOW!!!! "Love island producer you know you see knocking the door b****!" In shock scenes tonight blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, snuck off for some alone time - leaving their partners reeling. Watch the moment Love Island stars strip off and jump into bed after ditching their partners for the Hideaway The duo were seen planning their rendezvous earlier in the evening and Harry is seen telling Helena to tap his foot on the way out of the bedroom. A source previously told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' 3
