The 32-year-old former Coronation Street star, who recently split from her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, traveled with her three children Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and Charlie, two, for the school holidays.
She spoke candidly about her mother’s experience of shaming other guests at her hotel.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she explained that a friend had accompanied her on the trip to help with the kids.
She said, “I can’t tell you how horrendous Charlie’s tantrums have been.”
Hard: Helen Flanagan has detailed the moment she felt “mommy-shamed” while her youngest son had a tantrum on their sunny Easter break
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she explained: “I can’t tell you how horrible Charlie’s tantrums have been.”
‘I mean I have two kids and I know how babies can be and tantrums and stuff, but when I say the restaurant yelled yesterday.
“He just yelled and yelled.”
She added: “There was no comfort at all, literally just the whole restaurant screaming.”
“It was a very, very, very busy restaurant – I could feel there was a table, I just felt it.
“This is my third child. To be honest, I don’t think they were that kind to my upbringing, even though I was really doing my best to comfort Charlie.”
It comes after Helen showed off the results of her recent boob job while posing up a storm in a black two-piece after going on vacation.
The actress took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to share a series of stunning snaps from her sun-kissed getaway.
In one post, she took a look at her gorgeous beachwear look while posting a short mirror selfie video documenting the first day of her vacation.
She showed off a large bust in a ruffled strappy black bikini top, which she paired with a faded blue denim skirt by Miu Miu.
Helen showed off the results of her recent boob job after going under the knife to “feel more confident” after breastfeeding her three children.
Continuing to give a glimpse of her vacation, Helen shared a series of sweet snaps with her children, whom she shares with her ex Scott, 34.
In one image, Helen was enjoying a glass of Prosecco as she hugged her daughters Matilda and Delilah in a limousine as they traveled to the airport.
She also posted an adorable photo of her three children holding hands as they arrived at the mysterious sun-drenched spot on Saturday.
Helen also shared an adorable selfie with her eldest daughter Delilah, showing the two flashing the peace sign as they made the most of their trip.
Their vacation comes after Helen split from her ex-fiancé Scott last October, after the couple had been together for 13 years.
Since their split, Helen has had breast augmentation and lip fillers to help her feel more ‘confident’.
Helen said: “This is my third child. I don’t think they were that nice to be honest about my upbringing, even though I was really doing my best to comfort Charlie.”

In January, Helen said her decision to have breast surgery was influenced by a reduction in her bust from an E cup to “not filling out a B cup bra” caused by breastfeeding.
She said in a vlog: ‘Hello, so I wanted to appear here. I’m actually very nervous to share this, but I did have a boob job.
I did it on Thursday. Yeah, so I’m in recovery right now. I’ve been really nervous about sharing this, because you always get some not-so-nice comments or whatever.
“But yeah, it’s something I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence.” I’ve been so nervous about sharing this.
‘Obviously, I’m very much in favor of body confidence, and very much in support of other women, but supporting women in whatever choices they decide to make.
“I think if something is really bothering you, then I think it’s good to do something about it.”
“I’m on my second day of recovery, literally…my friend just helped me wash my hair and dry it because you can’t really…you can’t, you can’t shower properly, you.” I have to keep the wounds dry, I have this kind of bra on and you can’t get it wet.
“So these Stories will probably be quite long, so you might want to get comfortable, but I’m just going to talk about everything, really.”
Helen confessed that she decided to have surgery after becoming a mother to Delilah, but waited until she welcomed Charlie as she wanted another baby.
Speaking about lip fillers in an Instagram video, Helen said: I have big lips, but my lower lip was bigger and since I’ve been lining my upper lip, I wanted a bit of filler to even it out.

Ex: Her vacation comes after Helen split from her ex-boyfriend Scott last October after the couple were together for 13 years.
Admitting that she has also had Botox in the past, she also advised: “Don’t do anything when you’re too young.”
She continued: ‘I’m 32 now. I have Botox and that is my choice. I support women regardless of the decisions they make. I thought about this for a long time before going any further.
Helen’s cosmetic doctor, Dr Natalie Haworth, told MailOnline: “The treatment Helen had with me at my Whalley-based clinic in Lancashire, The Doctor & Company, is what I like to call a ‘tweak’.
“A little adjustment here and there achieves a more natural result and is quickly becoming the go-to look for 2023.”
