Helen Flanagan stuns in a busty pink dress as she shows off her gifted outfit - after 'broke' star admitted she's lost her £3.5m fortune
Helen Flanagan looked sensational as she took to Instagram on Saturday with a sizzling new post. The 34-year-old 'broke' soap star, who recently admitted to losing her £3.5 million fortune, has faced a series of financial setbacks. In a bid to be more budget-conscious, Helen turned heads as she modelled a selection of gifted items. Delighting her followers, she wowed in a busty pink summer dress adorned with tiny strawberries. She styled the look with brown sandals and a chic denim Kurt Geiger bag, finishing it off with dainty gold jewellery. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Helen captioned the snap: 'Dreamiest dress for summer @molbythelabel. pink and strawberries bag @kurtgiger necklace @astridandmiyu @hertility love this Uterus charm earrings @laraheems_jewellery ( some items gifted). The actress recently announced that she has been forced to put her 'forever home' up for sale as she can no longer afford its upkeep. This followed her pleas to magistrates when she appeared on speeding charges earlier this year that she is a 'single mum' who struggles to scrape together cash for a £10 taxi fare. The actress's company, HJF Darling Ltd, published last year's accounts up to August where the total came to £135,387, leaving a balance of £75,615 after tax. Speaking candidly to The Declutter Hub podcast about her living situation in April, Helen explained: 'It actually makes me sad that I'm going to be leaving soon because I actually put so much effort into it. 'When we moved I put like a lot of my savings into doing the house up and making it look really beautiful. 'But it's a big house. It's an eight-bedroom house, which is obviously really hard to keep on top of.' The 'newly-single' star recently confirmed her boyfriend Robbie Talbot had moved out of the home she shares with her three children, previously claimed her finances were so dire that she was struggling to afford the price of public transport. The actress is understood to be single after breaking off her relationship with Robbie, 45, just over a year after the pair went public. She shares three children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, four, with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair. Helen had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer, but is said to have had a change of heart over over recent months. 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''... She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.' In April, Helen admitted she is no longer living with Robbie after he briefly moved into her home, sharing at the time it wasn't helpful for her children who 'miss' their dad. The actress and her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, 36, separated in 2022 after 13 years together. She told The Sun: 'I'd asked him to stay for a while, because I often get quite scared in the house on my own and feel safer with a man there. 'But Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy's girl, and she struggles with not seeing Scott as often as she'd like. 'I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and having my boyfriend there maybe doesn't help her.' Speaking on The Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast in March, Helen praised Robbie and the positive impact he'd had on her mental and emotional wellbeing. She said: 'He's lovely. Everybody loves him. I just met him at a bar. I literally, I just, I could not stop laughing at this guy.' 'My boyfriend's actually the funniest guy I've ever met. He's got two kids and he's, he's really beautiful with my children.' 'I think that's what made me fall more in love with him because he's so good with my mental health things and that's the main thing for me that I need.' She added: 'I need someone that's good for me mentally and emotionally, that's my top thing and that's what I've realised.' 'No disrespect to the father of my children, I'll always have that love for him, but he didn't know how to cope with me or didn't know how to do that, and not everybody does, but because the man that I'm with now really knows how to do that, it makes me happy.'

Steve Madden challenges Adidas' trademark on stripes in new lawsuit
Steve Madden challenges Adidas' trademark on stripes in new lawsuit Show Caption Hide Caption Steven Madden to buy UK-based luxury shoe brand Kurt Geiger The world of fashion footwear has a new pair, as shoe designer Steven Madden said it would buy UK-based luxury brand Kurt Geiger. The all-cash deal, valued at $360 million, expands Steve Madden's presence in international markets. Adidas known for shoes with three parallel stripes, was sued on Wednesday by Steven Madden SHOO.O over its alleged effort to stop the American shoe company from selling fashion sneakers with two non-parallel bands. In a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, Steve Madden, as the company is often known, said it has grown "tired" of Adidas' decades of complaints about footwear whose designs bear no resemblance to its three-stripe design. These allegedly include objections to two Steve Madden sneakers launched this year: Viento, which has two bands, and Janos, whose two bands resemble the letter K. Steve Madden said Adidas' lawyers have demanded that Viento sales be halted because the design would likely confuse consumers, and signaled to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office it may formally challenge the Janos design. "The use of band designs on footwear is ubiquitous in the fashion industry," Steve Madden said. "Simply put, Adidas does not own all stripes and should not be allowed to claim that it has a monopoly on all footwear that includes stripes, bars, bands or any shape having four sides — parallel, straight or not." More footwear news: Nike is releasing dirty Air Force 1s, social media is perplexed Adidas did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours. Like some shoe companies including Nike NKE.N, Adidas sometimes turns to U.S. courts and agencies to stop rivals from selling products it considers knockoffs. Steve Madden, based in Long Island City, New York, said Adidas sued it twice in 2002 to challenge footwear with two parallel stripes and four parallel stripes, leading to a confidential settlement the next year. The latest dispute does not arise from that accord. Wednesday's lawsuit seeks a judgment that the Viento and Janos designs do not infringe Adidas' trademarks or three-stripe design, allowing Steve Madden to continue sales. The case is Steven Madden Ltd v Adidas AG et al, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No. 25-02847. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Leslie Adler

Pregnant Georgia Harrison proudly cradles her blossoming baby bump in a stylish pink dress as she heads to swanky London restaurant
Pregnant Georgia Harrison looked incredible as she headed to Mayfair's Sketch restaurant in London on Wednesday. The former Love Island star, 30, who announced her pregnancy on April 10, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jack Stacey. For her latest outing, the glowing mum-to-be proudly cradled her blossoming baby bump in a summery pink maxi dress. The gorgeous ensemble featured button detailing down the centre and delicate floral lace layers throughout. She completed her look with a stylish gold Kurt Geiger bag and matching sandals, while accessorising with beaded jewellery. Georgia pulled her golden locks into a chic updo, leaving two strands loose to frame her face. The beauty appeared in high spirits as she posed for snaps before making her way inside the trendy venue. It comes after Georgia took to her Instagram earlier in the month to share a cute bikini-clad first-trimester video taken before her first scan. The clip began with Georgia looking sensational in a stylish baby blue bikini and white lace beach trousers as she enjoyed a day at the beach. She then unbuttoned her trousers and cradled her tummy while lip-syncing to the popular TikTok audio: 'Are you real? I dunno, you seem a little sus.' She cheekily captioned the video: 'Me before I had my first ultrasound.' The star recently revealed she has a 'whole new drive' to change the world for the better - just weeks after announcing she is expecting her first child. The reality TV star explained in a new interview that she wants to make the world a better environment for her unborn baby to grow up in by continuing her campaigning on the issue of revenge porn. Georgia told OK! Magazine: 'I initially thought of my little sisters and brother when I was campaigning – hoping to make things different for them. 'Now, I have this whole new drive – I want the world to be a better place because I'm bringing my own child into it.' Georgia met Jack, 33, on a dating app last summer and described her pregnancy as a 'beautiful surprise'. Georgia said: 'We both definitely wanted children, but we didn't quite plan on it this soon, we might've tried to have a fun summer beforehand! But once we'd taken it in, we realised this was the right time. The star added that it's 'amazing to have the gift of being pregnant', as so many people struggle for a long time and for some, the dream never comes true. Georgia also explained to the publication that she was hesitant before starting her relationship with City worker Jack after her former partner, Stephen Bear, 35, shared a private video of them on the internet without her consent. The Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star explained that she was quite 'pessimistic' about love in general after the ordeal. However, she wanted to make an effort to meet someone. Now, she has her partner Jack, who treats her well, and the pair are expecting their first child together. Elsewhere in the interview, Georgia was particularly emotional about telling her mother, Nicola, that she was expecting. The star said that her mum has watched her 'go through everything' and has always reassured her that everything will be okay and that she would finally meet someone and get her 'happy ending'. So, Georgia added that her mother seeing her at this happy stage in life is 'such a relief for her'. The stunner announced her happy news via Instagram in April after a whirlwind ten-month romance with Jack. She told followers: 'We've been keeping a secret! Me and Jack are having a baby! Due November 2025, we can't wait to welcome this little one into the world and embrace all the joy and love he or she will bring. 'I still can't believe I've finally got everything I ever wanted and I couldn't be more grateful…And just like that 2 are about to become 3.'

Primark's new £16 shoes look 'just like' luxury £99 version
Primark's new shoes are very similar to a luxury pair - but there's a huge price difference Primark has launched a new pair of shoes that look just like a more expensive designer pair. The budget-friendly retailer, known for its fashion and home items, might have just unveiled a hit with shoppers. The high street favourite's Patent Slingback Court Shoes are similar to a style by designer brand Kurt Geiger, but Primark's offering comes at a much lower price point. Shoppers can pick up the Primark version for £16, while the luxury counterpart carries a price tag of £99 when shopped online. Both pairs feature a minimalist aesthetic with a sleek, slingback strap and matching pointed toes. They both also have a low heel, are made with a leather alternative and leather-look finish. However, there are some clear differences between the two. The Kurt Geiger shoes feature a buckle fastening, while the Primark version does not. The Primark shoes are available in light pink or light blue, while the luxury shoes come in bone or black. The retailer describes the heels as "slingback court shoes featuring a pointed toe and patent finish." The product description for the designer shoes reads: "This Aria Low2 heel features a bone leather alternative upper with pointed toe and slingback style ankle strap. The kitten heel is flared in design." Retailing at £16, the Primark shoes are a steal compared to the Kurt Geiger aria low heel, which cost £99. This means shoppers could pocket a saving of approximately £83 by choosing the budget-friendly version. The Patent Slingback Court Shoes can be picked up in stores now. Availability at your nearest store can be checked here.
