Newly single Helen Flanagan hits the beach for budget swimwear campaign after revealing her romance with Robbie Talbot 'wasn't working' - but actress still wears her Rolex despite claiming she can't afford a cab
Helen Flanagan left her troubles at home as she hit the beach during an early summer break in the south-of-France on Friday.
The former Coronation Street star has suffered a series of setbacks after losing her £3.5million fortune and subsequently ending a year long relationship with Robbie Talbot.
Flanagan, who recently confirmed Talbot had moved out of the home she shares with her three children, had previously claimed her finances were so dire she struggled to afford the price of public transport.
But there was evidently enough money for substantially more than a cab fare hanging from her wrist as she took part in a new swimwear campaign on behalf of budget retailer Primark.
