Helen Flanagan flashes a smile as she strips down to a bikini on break from Celebs Go Dating filming

HELEN Flanagan looked sensational as she showed off her figure in a bikini for her Instagram followers.

The soap star, 33, took a moment from filming Celebs Go Dating to proudly display her new swimsuit online.

The tropical floral number from Primark perfectly accentuated her newly-enhanced bust as she posed against a while background.

Beaming at the camera, with one shot showing her wavy blonde hair falling over her face, she declared: "Happiest in a bikini 🌺"

Fans flocked to the comments to compliment the star, with one writing: "Wow fantastic you look amazing in a bikini. Very colourful 😍"

"Beautiful truly beautiful girl Helen xx," wrote another, while a third said, "Looking beautiful as always- perfect!❤️"

A fourth noted: "❤️🔥absolutely 💯 stunning as ever Helen 😍," while a fifth told her: "You are so perfect 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥"

The new pics were taken as Helen continues looking for love as part of the new cast of Celebs Go Dating.

The Corrie icon, who split from Scott Sinclair after 13 years together in 2022, is hoping to get back out into the dating world with the help of the E4 show's experts.

She's joined on this year's series by Jamelia, Love Island's Chris Taylor, MAFS star Ella Morgan, Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps, and Gogglebox's Stephen Lustig-Webb.

The mum-of-three appears to be having a blast, and has been seen on a string of dates in London while shooting the series.

In mid June, Helen was seen getting cosy with a mystery hunk at a Soho oyster bar, where the pair were seen feeding each other and locked in an intimate chat.

For another, she vamped up in a tight black corset, and later that wee looked pretty in pink in a classy, simple dress from Nadine Merabi.

The new series promises to be one to remember, with show expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn telling The Sun it's going to be a "very sexy series".

We exclusively revealed how Helen has been praised for her "sexually expressive" nature on the matchmaking series.

"They're very open-minded, and they have really good rapport with one another," said Tara.

"Especially like Helen, Ella and Stephen. Ella and Stephen, I see them hang out all the time now on social media.

So yeah, I do. I do think that they are all like really good at sexually expressing themselves."
