The former Coronation Street actress, 24, is expecting her first child with footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, and looks to be embracing every step of the pregnancy journey.

Sharing a photo of herself in a skin-tight outfit, Helen wrote: ‘Decided against this @americanapparelusa probe a bit too much x #lovemypregnancybodytho #pregfashion #experimenting.’

Just last week, Helen tweeted about how much she is enjoying being an expectant mother. ‘I love looking down and not being able to see my toes,’ she wrote.

The star has also been enjoying a spot of pregnancy yoga to keep in shape while for the birth.

Flanagan, who was also a popular model after her Corrie days were over, announced she was expecting in December, after she was snapped on the beach sporting a tiny baby bump.

Taking to her twitter account in 2014, she wrote: ‘Me and Scott are expecting our first baby in the summer. We are both so happy and so excited xxx.’

Following her pregnancy outburst, Helen treated followers to a throwback snap from her Easter shoot last year, where she sports a silky pink bra and pants and white hold-ups.
