I won’t let mum-shamers stop me wearing a bikini -I’ll be posing in them at 60 like Carol Vorderman, says Helen Flanagan
HELEN Flanagan has defiantly hit back at cruel mum-shamers and said she hopes to be wearing her bikinis in her 60s like I'm A Celeb pal Carol Vorderman.
The ex-Corrie star, 32, struck up an incredible friendship with the former Countdown legend, 62, when they starred in I'm A Celebrity South Africa together.
Helen has been proud to share her life warts and all on social media, in a bid to be real like other mums.
She said: "I hope to keep wearing my bikini into my 60s like Carol - she's fantastic.
"100 percent. I really hope I look like Carol. I'm obsessed with her."
In a candid interview with the Sun to launch , Helen said: "I speak to Carol all the time. I really like Carol everything she stands for. She's a sexy woman, so clever and really empowering for women. I just love her. I really bonded with her really well on I'm A Celeb."

Helen was targeted by vile trolls earlier this week after sharing a snap shot of her busy life as she got ready in her bra.
The mum-of-three enjoyed a cuppa in her bathroom and unbuttoned her pyjama top to reveal her cleavage.
Helen captioned her shots: "New week, new goals… Boss Babe vibes."
The images split opinion with some loving them and others criticising the mum-of-three for the saucy material.

One commented: "Why do u always put pics up of you're boobs your a mum."
The TV personality, who is proud parent to Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two - who she shares with her ex-fiance Scott Sinclair, 34, has revealed how she deals with hurtful comments.
She said: "I see Instagram as therapy. Especially if you've had a tough day.
"I like looking at people who are really honest about things like Ashley James. I think it's nice when people don't pretend everything is so perfect. I don't find it relatable as a woman or a mum.
"Trolls, I've always been used to them. I was on Coronation Street when I was really young, I've always been in the public eye. I did I'm a Celebrity when I was 21. So I'm used to people saying things. I don't let it affect me."
