Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan shows off painful 'black eye' after surgery
Helen Flanagan has shown off her 'black eyes' after undergoing cosmetic surgery. The Coronation Street star - who played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap - was seen sporting some bruising around her eye in a new post on social media.
The Corrie star has been open about the surgery she has undergone, which at times she has been heavily criticised for. She opened up in 2022 about undergoing a breast enhancement and said it really helped her to get her confidence back.
Speaking a few years back, she said of her decision: "I was quite open here on Instagram in January about my recent boob job. This was something I wanted to do for a really long time and by doing so I've really got my confidence back.
"I breastfed in total for three years. Matilda I fed for eight months. Delilah I fed for 13 months. Charlie I fed for 14 months. As soon as I finished my breastfeeding journey with Charlie I wanted to get them done pretty much straight away. I felt like you could tie them in a bow. I had to wait though for six months after feeding and then I went for it in January."
She added: "I don't regret one second of my breastfeeding journeys they were precious times. I was a little bit nervous I was worried they were going to be too big for my frame but they are so perfect for me and so in proportion."
As part of her latest treatment, Helen underwent polynucleotide cosmetic facial surgery in her latest procedure. It is a type of cosmetic surgery, which uses DNA fragments to help to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. It gives a youthful and radiant complexion but can initially cause redness, swelling and bruising where they are injected.
In 2019, Helen also decided to have Botox and explained how it has made her feel more confident.
"I felt super tired from having Delilah and I wanted to feel fresher and more confident in myself. I would take pictures on my phone with the kids and would be shocked how much older I looked where in my head I still feel like I'm 20," she said.
"I'm so happy with my Botox and if you're like me and still want to look 23, then it's a good idea."
Just a few weeks ago, Helen recalled how she was verbally abused by a man on the Tube for standing up for another woman. She explained how the woman had been harassed by the man and when she stood up for the woman, she was verbally abused too.
"He was really awful and I actually felt really intimidated, and I felt like I couldn't say much to him because I did feel really intimidated by him. He said to me, it was like the weirdest thing he could have said, 'You've got so much Botox in your forehead', and I was sat there with an iced coffee, and he was like, 'I'm surprised you can even drink through a straw,'" she recalled.

Love Island star Toni's mum reveals real reason she made TikTok account private amid rumours she's suing ITV
She set the record straight prior to stepping foot in the Mallorca villa LOVE Island star Toni Laites' mum has clapped back at rumours she's suing ITV after making her new TikTok account private. The proud parent became the centre of attention after deleting social media videos calling out a host of ITV2 stars, despite only setting up the page weeks ago. 6 Love Island star Toni Laites's mum has revealed the real reason she made her TikTok account private Credit: Instagram 6 Florida-based Leslie entered the villa last night Credit: Eroteme 6 American bombshell Toni's mum said speculation she was suing ITV was 'not real' Credit: Eroteme It came just hours before Florida-based Leslie sent show fans into a frenzy as she took the long-haul flight to the Mallorca villa. ITV previously confirmed the return of the very popular Meet The Family segment, set to air in the lead-up to the final. The feature, which sees Islanders reunited with their family members and friends inside the villa, has long been a staple of the series. On Tuesday, fans weren't disappointed as Leslie, dressed in a black bandeau dress adorned with a pink petal pattern came to chat to Toni and her Love Island partner, Cach. Shortly before the reunion, she took to her TikTok page to address the mounting speculation she was taking legal action against the broadcaster. The rumour started on a Love Island fan page and Leslie said: "My accounts were set to private because I had other stuff to do not because myself and Shakira's mum are suing ITV. "We are definitely not, that rumour should be put to rest immediately. "There's even a rumour that she and I were spotted in London together with an attorney, also 100 per cent fake news." Leslie added: "It is not real. Love Island star Toni's mum reveals how she really feels about Harrison's exit after hittng out at her daughter "I cant wait for you guys to see the episode and we will talk about it." She then wrapped her chat with the words: "Other than that, I just wanted to reassure you we are all good, just no lawsuit. "Hope you have a great night." Toni's mum has been a regular online commenting on the antics on the matchmaking show. She previously broke down in tears and told how she was "really disappointed" in her daughter after she left Cach and reunited with Harrison. She then told how she really felt about bombshell Harrison's exit in another clip. VILLA ENTRY On Tuesday's episode, Toni was sitting on the terrace, when suddenly she heard her mum Leslie shout: 'Is Toni here? Where's Toni?' Realising friends and family have come to visit the Villa, Toni raced down the stairs to greet her mum who had flown in from Florida. Toni's best friend Marielle also made the trip and she joked of being in the Villa: 'It's like meeting our Sims in real life!' As they caught up, talk turned to her daughter's romantic relationships in the Villa, and Leslie said: 'The Harrison thing - I'd love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.' Toni replied: 'Sometimes you have to get burned 150 times before you can't get burnt anymore.' Leslie insisted of Cach: 'You have the most amazing man. His morals, his ethics, his calm demeanour when he is confronted with a bad situation… he is my king.' Toni laughingly replied: 'No, he's my king - back off!' FAN FAVE Toni and Cach have had a bumpy romance so far on the show, hindered by Toni and Harrison's will-they-won't-they situation. Casa Amor lad Cach is now coupled up with American stunner Toni, despite his embarrassment and tears after she ditched him for Harrison at a previous recoupling. His sister then grilled Toni on making Cach cry yet despite the awkward chat, fans were elated at Leslie's appearance on-screen. They praised the American, and her reaction to Toni's man, and one wrote on Instagram: "Toni's mum is a sweetheart !! Cach deserved those words for sure." A second posted: "Toni's mum has stated EVERY FACT. Cach handled it very well. His parents must be SO SO proud." A third noted: "Toni's mum, what a beautiful woman she is." One then added: "Okay that speech from Toni's mom made me tear up a little… Cach what an incredible guy." Another surmised: "I love this and Toni's mum is so beautiful and she deserves the world." 6 Leslie told her TikTok page speculation she had met with an attorney was 'fake news' Credit: TikTok / lipglossles 6 Fans praised Leslie's reaction to Cach on the ITV2 show Credit: Eroteme

Good Morning Britain's Ed Balls warned to 'move on' after calling co-star 'podgy'
The ITV presenter left fans shocked with his comment. Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls left his co-stars shocked after making a comment about Charlotte Hawkins' weight. The presenter, 58, has previously sparked controversy over fiery clashes on the ITV daytime programme, however, this time, his fellow GMB stars were left warning him. As Melvin Odoom wrapped up the showbiz segment on Tuesday morning, Ed and Charlotte were delighted to see an old video of one of her earliest TV appearances. She'd been in a fashion segment on This Morning and exclaimed, "There's a reason why people don't see that." "Has Charlotte aged well or badly?" Ed asked viewers. He then said, "I think you've aged beautifully, you almost look younger now than then." "Back then, you were a bit more podgy," he said, gesturing around his face and chin. As Charlotte laughed it off, Melvin warned, "Ed, move on!" "Did Ed really just say Charlotte looked fat when she was younger? Has he looked in the mirror lately? He's so rude," one astounded viewer wrote. Another said: "He'll be up in front of the producers for that quip." Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
