Helen Flanagan gets cruelly mum-shamed as she strips down to a busty lingerie and lace-topped stockings for a series of racy snaps

Helen Flanagan was brutally shamed by Instagram trolls when she shared a slew of very racy snaps on Thursday.

The former Coronation Street star, 33, proudly showed off her stunning curves in Ann Summers’ sultry set.

The soap star stripped down to a floral black and red lace co-ord set, consisting of a very busty bra and matching underwear, which showed off her surgically enhanced cleavage.

She enhanced her stunning physique with a pair of black lace-topped stockings, striking a series of raunchy poses for the camera while holding a glass in her hand.

The blonde beauty kept her locks up and had some wavy locks down to frame her stunning look.

She captioned her carousel: “Queen Energy is loving this beautiful floral set from @annsummers #styledwithAS #AD.”

The star wore a glamorous palette with a dark nude glossy lipstick as she modeled for the high street lingerie brand.

While several fans were quick to compliment the actress on her stunning looks, others pointed out that her racy photos were not appropriate for a mother.

“Aren’t you a mother?” one asked.

Another commented: ‘What’s wrong with you!’

“Kids should be proud,” a third echoed with a palm emoji.

Helen – who shares children Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, with her ex-footballer partner Scott Sinclair – has been the victim of cruel online mum-shamers before.

She often shares raunchy photos on her social media and loves to model daring outfits for her followers.

However, the soap sensation has often become the target of mum-shamers, who have taken to the comments and criticized her for showing off her body while being a mother.

She has now defended herself against trolls, saying she sees her striking photos as ‘women’s empowerment’.

Speak with The sun at the Pride of Britain Awards earlier in October she said: ‘It’s because I like to dress sexy, it’s stupid.

‘I am very much in favor of the empowerment of women. I love women feeling confident, and I think women should celebrate ourselves.”

Earlier this year, Helen proudly revealed the results of her boob job, after going under the knife to ‘feel more confident’ after breastfeeding her children caused her breasts to ‘really sag’.

Speaking about the procedure, she said: ‘You know what I really needed. I breastfed for three years. I really spent my entire twenties at home.

‘I never left home and spent my entire 20s being pregnant and breastfeeding. I did that from the ages of 24 to 30, now I want to have fun.’

Helen added: ‘Being a mother is very difficult. It’s really hard, juggling everything. It sounds a little weird, I know I only work on social media, but I feel like you get that same feeling of guilt as a mom too. Even if I’m here tonight.’

The mother of three has received a lot of negative comments from trolls in the past, who said she was begging for “attention” and acting inappropriately for a mother.

The star received backlash after posting a photo next to her three children as fans claimed she was using her children as an ‘accessory’.

Helen posted a photo of her and her eldest cuddled close as they donned matching multi-coloured patterned dresses.

In one snap, the pair beamed at the camera, while in another the mother and daughter looked at each other as they pouted, ready for a kiss.

Additionally, she received backlash the month before after she was cruelly shamed by her mother after sharing a video of her ‘date night’ with son Charlie.
