Helen Flanagan shows off her jaw-dropping figure in racy lace lingerie after declaring that she's 'back to normal herself'
Helen Flanagan sent temperatures soaring in sexy lace sheer lingerie as she posed for a sizzling Instagram video on Thursday. The mother-of-three, 34, showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a daring lace pink bra which she teamed with a matching thong and suspenders. Helen looked sensational as she showed off her boob job while modelling the racy lingerie, from her summer edit with Nikki Intimates, sitting on her bed. The TV personality later slipped into a coordinated sheer lace bodysuit which she paired with stockings and suspenders. The soap star wrote: 'Forever a lover girl. Shop my summer edit with @nikkiintimates for the prettiest pieces.' The photo shoot comes after Helen declared that she's 'back to normal herself' and 'living in the Starbucks drive-thru' after the return of her driving licence following a six month ban. Back in January, the ex Corrie actress t old the court her ex boyfriend Robbie Talbot was driving her £66,000 Audi Q7 when it was caught speeding twice. She was subsequently barred from the roads for six months, despite claiming she was struggling financially and would not be able to afford taxis to get her children to school. After being snapped back behind the wheel of her pricey motor last week, a delighted Helen took to her Instagram Stories to update her followers. She gushed: 'I am so happy that I have got my driving licence back, I was nervous at first for like the first ten minutes I was like "It's so weird to be driving again" but now I just absolutely love it'. 'Back to my normal. I feel like I am back to myself now i'm back to the Trafford Centre and back living at the Starbucks drive-thru and I just feel like myself'. In a chaotic social media post last month, Helen complained what a 'pain in the a***' it had been without a car and had been unable to run errands or go shopping for essentials due to living so remotely. Taking to her Instagram Stories she explained her ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) had caused her to mix up paperwork to reapply for her licence, meaning the process would now be delayed further. 'I literally can't tell you what a pain in the a*** not having [my driving licence] because I live in the middle of nowhere, and of course I haven't been driving'. 'It's just been so b****y annoying, for example we are out of loo roll now and I can't pop out to the shops to get loo roll so my friend has to bring me loo roll'. In court Helen said her isolated moorland home meant it was a 10-minute drive even to go to the shops to buy bread and milk, and that she would 'really struggle without a car' in the remote location. The actress, who lives near Bolton, Greater Manchester, said she earned £70,000 last year – but said her income varies and that she could not afford a £10 taxi to take her son to nursery. Prosecutor Stephen Kirk told how Helen, who already had six penalty points for speeding, failed to declare who had been driving the car when it was caught speeding at locations on Merseyside in June last year, doing 42mph in a 30mph limit and 51mph in a 40mph limit. Magistrates gave her six more points for each offence - taking her total to 18 points, well above the 12-point threshold when magistrates normally impose a ban unless there is 'exceptional hardship'. Making her doomed plea to keep her licence, Helen said at the time: 'I am so sorry. I stupidly thought it was acceptable for my boyfriend to explain he was the one driving and it wasn't me.' Helen told the court how she is a 'full-time' mother to children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, using the car to take them to nursery, school and activities. She said: 'My job really is being a mum at home. Their dad works away. It's really difficult at the moment now for me to be earning money. I earn money on social media but it kind of varies what I earn.' She added: 'I think there might be a perception maybe that I would easily be able to afford a driver but that's quite far from the case. 'I've got enough money in my account to pay off my tax and my VAT and basically that's about it.' Asked by solicitor, Patrick Boyers, how she takes her son Charlie to his nursery without a car, she said: 'The other way to get Charlie to nursery is by Uber (taxi). That would be really expensive. I'm really struggling at the moment, financially.' Asked by the clerk how much it cost, she said: 'I did get an Uber from my house to the nursery this morning. It cost £10 that time.' She also claimed her son 'doesn't do so well in a taxi' and that he's 'much better strapped into a car where he's safe'.

Jimmy Choo boss banned for driving without insurance
The chief executive of the British luxury fashion house Jimmy Choo has been banned from driving after she was caught behind the wheel without insurance. Hannah Colman, who was appointed boss of Jimmy Choo in 2020 and was one of its first employees, had been driving for nearly four months without insurance before she was stopped in her Audi Q7 S Line in Chelsea, London, in November. The fashion chief, 46, who earns £250,000 a year, was stopped with her daughter in the car, which is estimated to cost more than £72,000, and was not allowed to continue her journey home to Clapham until the insurance was renewed. Colman pleaded guilty to driving without insurance at Lavender Hill magistrates' court in Battersea and said she was 'absolutely mortified' when she discovered the error. The court heard that Colman had renewed her insurance policy last July, a month ahead of schedule, but the payment had bounced, and she missed the reminder email in September. 'It was a genuine mistake and one I am really sorry about,' Colman told the court. John Tyler, the chairman of the bench, said he did not accept that Colman did not receive emails warning her to renew the insurance and said almost four months was a long time to have no cover in place. Before a ban was issued, Colman's lawyer asked the court to consider that Colman relied on the car to drive her two children, aged eight and 11, to school. 'I drive every day and I take my two children to school every morning, then I drive to work,' she said. 'I used my car at the weekend for activities with my kids and husband.' Colman had six points on her licence when she was stopped by police, which means she can expect to lose her licence for at least six months. She was also ordered to pay a £660 fine, which has been reduced from the initial £1,000 due to her early guilty plea. The total, including legal fees, was £1,017. • I salute Sarah Jessica Parker for her Sex and the City shoe deal Tyler told the court that a 'small consolation' for Colman was that she would receive a clean licence with no points once she had completed the duration of her ban. Colman's journey to the top of Jimmy Choo started when she began working for the designer's first boutique in Motcomb Street in London in 1996. Choo founded the fashion house with Tamara Mellon, who was also serving as Vogue's accessories editor. At the time, Colman was dating Mellon's younger brother Daniel, which led to her introduction to the company. The fashion brand, which has 234 stores worldwide, cut through the public consciousness when Princess Diana wore a pair of Choo's pale blue slingbacks with a sparkly Catherine Walker dress for a performance of Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall in June 1997. Sandra Choi, the creative director, later admitted: 'It really started everything for us.' Before Colman was appointed as chief executive, she served as the brand's senior vice-president for Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa, then as president for global ecommerce and customer relationship management.

Anil Ambani was bankrupt, lost all his money, didn't have money to pay lawyers fees, but never thought of selling this rare thing, it's worth Rs…, thing is…
In 2020, Anil Ambani, once among the richest men in India, declared himself bankrupt, stating that he was under financial stress that he couldn't even afford to pay his legal fees. Today, however, his companies are coming back in business and race. Anil Ambani Reliance Companies Recovery Companies like Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure are now beginning to recover. With new projects in hand, their stock prices have surged, and debt burdens are slowly decreasing. But just a few years ago, Ambani faced a major financial setback. In 2012, Anil Ambani personally guaranteed a $700 million loan from three Chinese banks for Reliance Communications. In 2020, a London court ordered him to repay $717 million (with interest) within 21 days. At that time, Ambani told the court he had no money left and could not even cover his personal expenses. He claimed his net worth was zero. Even during this period he didn't sell his most valuable possession. Anil Ambani's Priceless Possession That possession is his luxurious 17-storey residence 'Abode', inherited from his father, the legendary Dhirubhai Ambani. It is located in Mumbai's Pali Hill area which is the highest priced wealth among Anil Ambani's assets. It is spread across 16,000 square feet, with a helipad, swimming pool, a big garage for luxury cars, and an expansive lounge area. Anil Ambani lives here with his wife Tina Ambani and their two sons, Jai Anmol Ambani and Jai Anshul Ambani. The estimated value of this residence is Rs 5,000 crore. Anil Ambani's Other Assets Anil Ambani owns a private jet worth around Rs 311 crore, and has a collection of ultra-luxury cars including a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lexus SUV, Audi Q7, and Mercedes GLK350. He once gifted his wife Tina a luxury yacht of Rs 400 crore on her 64th birthday, which he named 'Tian' in her honour. Now that his companies are slowly stabilising, debts are being repaid, new projects are flowing in, stock values are recovering and his wealth is once again on the rise. According to media reports, the combined net worth of Anil and Tina Ambani is estimated to be over Rs 2,500 crore.
