Helen Flanagan defends lingerie modeling against mum-shaming backlash

Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street star, has responded to criticism for modeling lingerie as a mother of three, asserting that women should support and empower each other. In a recent social media post featuring her in black lace lingerie, Flanagan addressed comments implying that she shouldn't pose in such attire due to her role as a mother. She emphasized the importance of kindness among women, stating that such negative comments reflect more about the critic than about her choices. Flanagan, who has been open about her personal life and her recent split from footballer Scott Sinclair, expressed her desire to instill this supportive attitude in her daughters. Her boyfriend, Robbie Talbot, and many followers showed their support in response to her post. Flanagan's message aims to challenge societal expectations placed on mothers regarding self-expression and body image.
