HELEN Flanagan might be filming for her latest show, but the mum-of-three still has time to pose in her new clothes.

The 33-year-old had jaws on the floor earlier this month when she rocked a “stunning” tropical bikini.

Helen looked sensational as she showed off her figure to her one million Instagram followers. 

And it turns out, her new bikini is a surprisingly cheap buy.

The soap star was rocking a new two-piece from Primark’s tropical swim range. 

She wore the £5 Light Support Tropical Flower Bikini top with £4 matching bottoms.

Helen shared that she is “happiest in a bikini”.

“If heading to a warm destination wasn’t enough, you can keep the tropical vibes going with this patterned bikini,” Primark bosses said. 

Fans were quick to tell Helen that she looked “beautiful” in the colourful set. 

Earlier this year, the former Corrie star had a boob job with Pall Mall Cosmetics, who charged her £4,995 for the surgery.

There’s also a matching halterneck top if you’re looking for more bust support than a triangle bikini top can offer. 

“Infused with stretch, it features a tie halterneck that can be removed to enjoy a bandeau style as well as back clasp fastening to keep it secure,” Primark bosses said.

“Showcasing a ring detail for a chic touch, it’s decorated with vibrant florals for a bold look that’s sure to complement your sunny day styling.”

But if bikinis aren’t your thing, there’s also a swimming costume in the “stunning” print.

It’s made with elastane - also known as spandex - to offer extra support to your tummy. 

“Whether your sights are set on poolside preening, sunning by the sea, or lengths in your local pool, you can do it in bold style with this tropical inspired control swimsuit,” Primark bosses said.

“Boasting the security of shaping panels for a more streamlined feel, this swimsuit has all of the allure of a plunging neckline with high-apex straps, a full brief silhouette that's cut high on the leg.

“And it is made with a stretch fabric for a perfect fit both in and out of water. 

“Pair the bold tropical print with neutrals for a pop of colour or be bold by layering with the coordinating outerwear pieces.”
