The size 8 star - who often flaunts her curves in figure hugging outfits and slinky bikinis – recently admitted to Closer that she is proud of her body and is happy to experiment with her style in feminine outfits.
‘It’s nice to celebrate your body and what’s good about it’ she said.
‘I really like my figure – curves are sexier than being stick-thin'
‘I really like my figure – curves are sexier than being stick-thin - and I don’t see why I shouldn’t wear clothes that show it off,’ she added.
But we want to know just how Helen keeps in such great shape without compromising her curves…
Daily diet
‘Breakfast is usually a Starbucks’ Hazelnut latte and a skinny muffin, lunch is probably a roast chicken wrap and dinner will be a Nando’s or I might cook pasta. I snack on sweets for the sugar because I’m always running around – I love jelly babies or jellied snakes.’
‘I gave up dieting two years ago'
‘I gave up dieting two years ago’ says Helen.
‘When I was younger I was completely obsessed with dieting – this diet, that diet – and now I look back and think I was really stupid, I lost far too much weight and got really obsessed with it.’
And although she does worry about her body and what she looks like, Helen – who played Rosie Webster in Coronation Street for 12 years – says that there is ‘more to life than worrying about you weight.’
Guilty pleasures
The 22-year-old WAG confessed that she doesn’t like ‘boring food’ and will often indulge in a takeaway Nando’s or cheese.
‘I really can’t think that every single night I can only eat fish, veg and potatoes. That would be boring’ she said.
‘My blow out would be a Nando’s hummus and pitta bread withMediterranean chicken, mango and lime salad, and haloumi cheese.’
‘But my ultimate food indulgence is a Starbucks skinny ginger muffin.’
She says: ‘I’m always racing around. I find it hard to chill out and I think that probably keeps me in shape – I’d feel guilty putting my feet up. I’m quite highly strung like that.’
However, the star was spotted being put through her paces last weekend during a strenuous workout with a personal trainer – we imagine in preparation for that famous I'm A Celebrity shower!
