Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has admitted she's 'certain' her current pregnancy will be her last.

The soap star - who is already a mum to Matilda, five, and Delilah, two - shared a gorgeous photo of herself cradling her baby bump and reflected on her pregnancy.

"Can’t wait to meet you my little darling 💫 bring on March ✨ Super grateful for my pregnancy and I can’t wait to hold my little one but to be honest I’m not really enjoying this pregnancy," she began.

"I loved being pregnant with Matilda and Delilah. I think with Matilda everything was just so new and super exciting and with Delilah I just loved having my bump and everything about it after I got over the hyperemesis each time.

"This time round I just don’t feel like I’m enjoying it the same. Maybe because it’s my third and I just feel super tired and I know it’s going to be full on, I always just feel nauseas a lot and I just don't feel myself since I fell pregnant," she admitted.

Helen went on to admitted that she's not "ungrateful" before reassuring her followers that "it's okay to feel however you feel in pregnancy".

Helen and her fiancé Scott Sinclair are due to welcome their little one into the world in March.

And the mum of two admitted that it's "extremely likely" that this will be her last pregnancy because she suffered with hyperemesis (severe pregnancy sickness) and was forced to move back into her parents house.

After confessing she doesn't think she'd be able to suffer from hyperemesis again because it made her "miserable" it dawned on her that her current pregnancy is likely to be her last.

It's quickly evident that Paul has had too much to drink and when he begins to disrobe and offers the bishop a beer, Billy can't get him out of there quick enough.

Gently, Steve tries to explain that they've done all they can for Oliver and he thinks the judge is right and they should let him go. Leanne has never felt betrayal like it.

"Seeing as I’m pretty certain this as our last baby, I get a lot of people saying ah I hope it’s a boy for you this time," she added.

"I think I’m pretty lucky just to carry to be honest with people close to me struggling to conceive, I’m just grateful to carry a baby. Of course it would be lovely to have a son but it would be equal."
