Helen Flanagan is cruelly mum-shamed after sharing steamy photos posing in a bra and chunky glasses

Helen Flanagan has been the target of mom-shaming on her latest Instagram post, after she shared some raunchy photos.

The former Corrie actress, 32, posed in her bra and thick glasses as she sipped a hot drink ahead of the photo session.

She wore gray pajamas for the photos, but left the top loose to show off her toned abs and ample cleavage.

However, the mother-of-three was hit with a flurry of negative comments, with many criticizing her for showing off her body while being a mother and others saying she was looking for ‘attention’.

One of them said, ‘Why do you always post pictures of your breasts, you’re a mother’.

While another agreed, writing, “Show some respect to your kids for God’s sake.”

A third added: ‘I can’t lie, it screams I need attention’.

A fourth echoed, “I crave attention, attention, attention.”

While a fifth said: ‘This screams ‘I need attention’.’

A sixth chimed in to say: ‘Just start just fans and finish it with ££££££’.

And a seventh wrote: ‘New goals lol all you do is get your tits out for social media exposure, it’s hardly incriminating, right. Honestly, these people are so far up there it’s laughable.”

Others, however, defended Helen against the cruel comments, with one person saying, “Look gorgeous, be yourself and ignore the silly, silly comments.” Kind of weird isn’t it x’.

Another added, “The comments on this post, not to mention the last one.. just think about it.. does it hurt you?” I mean, seriously? If you don’t like what you see, why are you even following her? It’s pretty easy to unfollow or if you’re not following then don’t watch. It’s not rocket science.”

It’s not the first time Helen has been subjected to mum-shaming on her Instagram.

The actress and reality star is mum to Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and two-year-old Charlie with ex Scott Sinclair.

Last month, Helen, who split from Scott last year, was shamed for a post about her toddler son Charlie.

She shared sweet photos of herself and Charlie as she revealed he was having “off the scale tantrums.”

Helen shared a series of photos as she shared kisses with Charlie, joking in the caption that she was “trying to take pictures with my two-year-old.”

The post was soon inundated with comments with some criticizing Helen’s parenting, asking, “Why are you constantly asking your kids for kiss after kiss… like it’s not normal and the way you talk to them is like you’re with puppies talk.”

Defense: Others, however, defended Helen against the cruel comments, with one person saying, “Look gorgeous, be yourself and ignore the crazy, crazy comments.”

“You have to act like their mother… they need tough love and disappointment [sic]the commentator continued.

Another asked, “Have you ever thought that they don’t want pictures and kisses all the time?” I’ve never known anyone who asks their kids for kiss after kiss???”

Helen’s fans rushed to defend her against the mother’s embarrassing comments, commenting, “Sod off, I often ask for kisses when they’re gone because soon enough they’ll be teenagers and you won’t get anything.”

“It’s a parenting style and it’s totally okay,” another agreed.

“They’re only little once, not all kids need tough love,” read another supportive comment.

Others argued that Helen only shared a small snippet of her day online, with one supporter writing, “We see 2 seconds on Instagram. How do we know she doesn’t play with him the rest of the time? Also, most celebrities are paid to use Instagram.”

Trolls: The post was quickly flooded with comments criticizing Helen’s parenting, asking, “Why are you constantly asking your kids for kiss after kiss… like it’s not normal”

Criticism: Another asked, “Have you ever thought that they don’t want pictures and kisses all the time. I’ve never known anyone who asks their kids for kiss after kiss???”

“You do realize that this is a photo taken in a few seconds a day. So the other 23 hours plus you have no idea. She is a loving mother, the world needs more people like her. Stop putting women/mothers down,” another wrote.

Helen later responded to the comments, reposting one criticizing her for sleeping with her daughter Delilah, five, and suggesting she would “regret” her parenting style.

“Very weird some comments on Instagram,” Helen wrote. “As a mom, I want my kids to feel really loved and happy and safe and I’m clingy and I sleep along because that’s how Delilah is happier and I don’t want her to cry, she’ll grow out of it.”

Sharing more of the cruel messages, she said, “Despicable comments. I just love my children.’
