Former Corrie star Helen Flanagan has been spotted on eBay flogging designer gear for as little as £5

Inspired by Katie Price’s thrifty eBay-ing (maybe), Helen has been shifting pre-loved items on the ‘car boot’ style website for some extra cash while she enjoys her maternity leave from the soap.

And she’s certainly got eclectic tastes in clothes, with everything from Lipsy and Missguided to D&G, Burberry and even an unused Balmain handbag on offer for £1,150.

But we can’t help feeling the aim of Helen’s game is more to declutter than it is to bring home some bacon, with her partner Scott Sinclair raking in £25,000 a week from Scottish premier league football club Celtic.

“Helen isn't short of money but she doesn't like wastefulness, and is selling some of her old clothes and shoes and bags for some extra cash,” a source told The Daily Star.
