Helen Flanagan wows in risqué lingerie pics as she makes confession after split
After her recent split with ex-boyfriend Robbie Talbot, former Corrie star Helen Flanagan is back with a bang after launching a new racy lingerie collection
Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has sent fans into a frenzy after posting photos in some racy lingerie - showing her recent ex-boyfriend exactly what he's missing. The launch of her new collection comes just weeks after her split from Robbie Talbot, 45, after the spark between them fizzled out after just over a year.
Her breakup is believed to have happened over a disagreement over having kids, with Helen wanting more with the already dad-of-two. But after having a "grown-up" conversation they realised they wanted different things and chose to split.
A source told The Sun: "They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
"She sat him down two weeks ago and said, 'This isn't working.' It was a grown-up chat. She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him."
But now there is no doubt she is back, as the 34-year-old looked incredible styling her own powder blue lingerie set in collaboration with big brand Nikki Intimates.
Announcing the collection with the seductive snaps, Helen posted to her 1.1 million Instagram followers: "Super excited to work alongside @nikkiintimates on my very own collection — Summer Haze — filled with the dreamiest pastels and romantic silhouettes."
The reality star showed off her figure in several different racy sets, including a daring black floral number and a pretty pink floral set as she posed in front of a grand fireplace at Arley Hall in Cheshire.
The mother-of-three added: "I've always loved lingerie modelling and feel my most confident and empowered when doing so."
Helen is perhaps best known for playing Rose Webster on Corrie, first appearing on the Cobbles way back in 2000 where she would play the role on and off for the next 18 years before officially leaving the show, but during that time she was no stranger to a lingerie shoot.
She continued: "I think 21-year-old me would be proud that 34-year-old me, and a Mum of 3, still has the confidence to do this! My body has changed but my message has not; let's love our bodies & be confident and gentle to ourselves in our skin. I hope this range has something for everyone."
Coming not long after another big break-up to her ex-fiancée and father to her kids Scott Sinclair, Helen is now said to be wanting to concentrate on her career and family life.

‘Who raised you?!' Home cook slammed after sharing attempt at Italian dish – but can you tell what it's meant to be?
GRUB'S UP 'Who raised you?!' Home cook slammed after sharing attempt at Italian dish – but can you tell what it's meant to be? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S nothing better than tucking into a tasty homecooked meal, and it's even better if it's a traditional recipe. But one home cook left people scratching their heads after they revealed their attempt at a particular classic dish. 4 home-cook-slammed-sharing-attempt-999490755 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 4 home-cook-slammed-sharing-attempt-999490671 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 4 The foodie showed off their attempt at making lasagne on Facebook Credit: Getty Despite their best efforts, the food turned out nothing like you would expect, and some people even questioned what they meal was supposed to be in the first place. This came after the wannabe chef took to Facebook to show off their concoction with a picture from before it went into the over and after. "How do you make lasagne, mine came out crispy as hell and I want it soft, please help," the Facebook user wrote alongside the pictures. The first snap shows a dish layered with dry spaghetti, strips of uncooked bacon and slices of American cheese. Unsurprisingly, the meal only looked worse after some time in the oven. Instead of melting, the cheese shrivelled up and burned, and the dry spaghetti didn't look any more enticing either. After sharing the snaps in the popular Facebook group people were so shocked by the food creation they thought the foodie must've been joking. "This has got to be satire," one person commented on the viral post. But others weren't so sure, as a second said: "What in the name of god did you think you were making!?!" And a third chimed in: "I have never seen anything like this, where is the sauce?" The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu "I want to laugh but I genuinely don't even know what to think here," another wrote. Meanwhile, others offered some cooking suggestions for their next attempt. "You should start by reading an actual recipe, this is a crime," one said. And another commented: "I dread to think how many Italians you killed making this. Even if it is a joke this post should come with a trigger warning." And someone else quipped: "Who raised you?!" This isn't the first time food fans have been left stunned by a meal. Mum and TikToker Michelle previously caused viewers to lose their appetites as she proudly showed the breakfast she fed her family. The now-viral video, which has racked up a staggering 2.2million views in just two days, sees the parent make scrambled eggs - but with a twist. The nation's most peculiar food combinations revealed Brits reveal unusual food combinations that are so wrong, they feel right Research by LNER claims that a whopping four in five Brits experiment with unusual flavours, and almost a quarter have a 'guilty pleasure' when it comes to unconventional food combinations, Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chocolate Crisps in jam sandwich Chips and milkshake Cheese and bananas Apples with salt and pepper Avocado and chocolate Popcorn and hot sauce Tuna and marmite Gherkins and peanut butter Rather than using actual eggs, the mum whipped up the first meal of the day with a ''scrambled egg mix'' - which was essentially just a powder. To add some extra boost of protein, Michelle also threw in a generous amount of bacon - that had been freeze dried. The gut-churning concoction called for half a cup of the scrambled egg mix which she dissolved with warm water, as well as the bacon bits - which needed to be re-hydrated with cold water. For extra flavour and texture the mum also chucked in some freeze fried cheddar cheese that had to go in the water before as well. Once the egg mixture was ready, Michelle cooked it on the pan, before squeezing the water out of the shredded cheese and throwing a spoonful of the watery bacon. Showing off the final result on her page, the mum tried to convince the viewers it was ''good'' - and the rest of the brood agreed, with the dad dubbing the dish ''yummy''.

Nicola Peltz's pals break silence for first time over Brooklyn Beckham claims
Nicola Peltz's pals address claims that she is "isolating" Brooklyn Beckham in new defence - as sources close to the Beckham family speak of their continued upset as the feud rumbles on Brooklyn Beckham's Instagram video last week in which he said he would 'always choose' his wife must have hurt his parents amid their well-publicised family feud. But other recent social media posts have allegedly proved just, if not more, painful to David and Victoria as the falling out shows no sign of abating. A picture uploaded to Instagram three days ago shows Brooklyn sipping a pint in a pub, with bottles of his own-brand hot sauce on the table in front of him. Innocuous enough to outsiders – but friends of the Beckhams recognised the distinctive light fittings and stark green walls in the background. One pal says: 'The picture was taken in London's Wigmore pub, which is part of the Langham Hotel where the Beckhams have sometimes stayed. 'The fact that Brooklyn appeared to be in the country and failed to see any of his family was heartbreaking. And not only that, but here he was posting about it.' Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, had flown to London for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler, which took place less than two miles from the Beckham family home in Holland Park. Dad David, 50, was not far away – he was pictured with the King at the Chelsea Flower show that day – just three miles from the Wigmore. A pal reveals: 'Brooklyn had kept the visit quiet from not only his mum and dad but his siblings and extended family. It was terribly sad that he had flown thousands of miles to London and hadn't engaged at all. It would have been very easy to meet up.' Another Instagram post, made on May 16, showed Brooklyn with Nicola's late grandmother to mark the anniversary of her death. He captioned it: 'I miss you and will love you forever.' A friend said: 'Brooklyn's heart is of course in the right place…but it hasn't gone unnoticed how all the while he is posting about Nicola's family he is silent about his own, including his own grandfather whose birthday it was last week.' To acquaintances of the family, the blame for what they believe are 'performative' social media posts lies with heiress Nicola. They list concerns that she is somehow orchestrating her husband's social media activity, which they claim is out of character, and that she is responsible for 'isolating' Brooklyn from his friends and family. A pal says: 'She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre.' But a source close to the couple has hit back at suggestions Nicola is 'controlling' her husband – and insists Brooklyn is very much his own man. They reveal: 'She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. They are each other's family.' Brooklyn captioned last weekend's motorbike video, shot in Beverly Hills: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' The source insists this was 'completely misinterpreted' as being a dig at his own family. The source adds: 'It's a real shame that what Brooklyn did – which was a statement of love for his wife – is being portrayed as something that it's not. 'He loves his wife and everyone should be proud: his parents, his family friends. He stands by his wife and that's a normal thing to be a loving and supportive husband.' Asked if there was any desire for reconciliation on Brooklyn's side, the source said it was impossible given the highly charged atmosphere. Sources close to Nicola have previously insisted that as 'an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within'. The claims – described as 'patently untrue and ludicrous' by friends of David and Victoria – were the 'nail in the coffin' of any future relationship, according to insiders. Despite this, sources close to Nicola claim she doesn't want any fighting and is upset by the feud being played out publicly. Her friends say she tried to integrate. 'Nicola was working hard to have a healthy relationship,' says one. Pals of the Beckhams dispute this, with one saying: 'It's hard to find a way back after absurd allegations of emotional abuse.' Despite Nicola's pals claiming she doesn't want a battle, in other facets of her life she is known to fight. Last week it emerged she had hired high-powered celebrity attorney 'Mad Dog' Marty Singer, who has represented stars such as Michael Jackson and Kim Kardashian. Nicola is suing a dog groomer she alleges is responsible for the death of her chihuahua Nala and French bulldog Frankie. It comes after previous legal battles with her wedding planners. A source said: 'Nicola's family haven't become billionaires by being shy and retiring... it's in their nature to fight for what they believe is right.' As for the feud with her in-laws, many wonder how it will ever resolve. Some say a big sign will be if Brooklyn acknowledges his sister Harper's 14th birthday next month – he did not publicly mark Victoria's 51st nor David's 50th this year. Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures of themselves with Harper, and he is thought to be very fond of his youngest sibling. A pal says: 'Brooklyn isn't talking to his mum and dad, as well as Romeo, because he disapproves of his girlfriend. 'But in that case this 'feud' should start and end with them… 'The fact he has distanced himself from the whole, extended family is what makes this so sad. Perhaps Harper's birthday – and an acknowledgement of it – will be the first steps towards a peace deal.' Watch this space next month – but at this rate peace looks a long way off.

Britain's Got Talent's Amanda Holden issues three-word response over viewer complaints Amanda Holden has recently received Ofcom complaints for her daring Britain's Got Talent outfits KSI shares who he wants to win BGT Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden has issued a three-word response over recent viewer complaints. A judge on the show since 2007, Amanda faced scrutiny from Ofcom after certain viewers expressed displeasure over her risqué wardrobe choices that showed off her figure. Amanda's selection of garments, often featuring bold plunging necklines and high thigh splits, recently became the focus of Ofcom complaints from disgruntled TV-watchers. However, Amanda, aged 54, recently took the opportunity to respond to the criticism in a candid chat with Closer magazine, asserting her love for what she wears on screen with a succinct response: "I'm never worried," reports the Mirror. "What you see on TV, I really love. I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried," she added. Amanda Holden has hit back at Ofcom complaints over her BGT wardrobe (Image: ITV ) She went on to encourage a light-hearted approach to fashion, saying: "I think people should have fun with fashion!" In discussing her styling process with The Sun, the mother-of-two revealed an extensive pre-show routine involving her ensemble. "There's now a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air," she said. With a touch of humour, Amanda added: "There's a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there's the lady who's the producer who said, 'Mandy, it looks great'." Despite being at the forefront of Ofcom complaints, it's clear that Amanda isn't inclined to tone down her outfit choices.

And she's already contemplating how to bring a bit of glamour to her workwear. "It's a joy to wear something so different, and nice to be able to breathe out, with no side boob," she told The Sun. Article continues below She went on to say: "Though next year I might have some side boob." Amanda concluded: "For now, I always go pretty classy and standard. I've got my name on the back, but I didn't even do that in Spanish - I've got Handy Mandy. I should have put Handios Mandios." Britain's Got Talent is available to stream on ITVX
