Helen Flanagan was quick to receive support from her fans as she responded to comments about her youngest daughter’s appearance. The actress took to social media earlier this week to ring in the celebrations for her 34th birthday.
Helen spent the special day having dinner with her adorable children Matilda, Delilah and Charlie, whom she has with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.
Alongside a series of photos, the former Coronation Street star was seen dining at the posh restaurant and attempting to get some group photos with her children. However, in true Instagram versus reality style, Helen shared the real results of her attempts.

“My 34th birthday dinner,” she captioned the post, and her fans and followers quickly responded with birthday wishes and comments on the “real” update.
@laurenclaire22 said: “Mum, life captured perfectly.” @graemeswannell commented: “Amazing photos, thanks for sharing hjgflanagan, hope you had a really amazing 34th birthday.” @3.grumpy.3 wrote: “Funny family photos. The love they have for you.” @jane7841 added: “Happy birthday beautiful. Your little family is just perfect.”
Helen later returned to social media and shared a video she took before heading out, gathering her three children for the clip as they each showed off their outfits for the evening.
Helen looked chic in a silky pink top which she teamed with black bodycon trousers, while eldest child Matilda went all out in a gold sparkly top and matching skirt. Delilah opted for a simple black t-shirt and knee-length shorts, while Charlie wore a beige satin shirt and crocheted shorts.
“At my birthday dinner last night (crying laughing emoji) Charlie was a wild animal,” she wrote as a caption to the clip, which depicts chaos involving her only son and a wine glass.
But Helen was quick to respond to a comment directed at her middle child’s clothing. They asked, “Why are all of you dressed up except for Delilah?” to which the mother of three replied, “I let my children decide what they want to wear and what makes them feel comfortable and happy.”
And her fans and followers were quick to support her decision. @elzabelle_funk said, “This is Delilah’s style and she decided to dress up! I love it.” @glenmichele replied, “That’s how it should be! Delilah has her own style and I’m here for it!” @wilsonjanette4 wrote, “Delilah is dressed the way she likes to dress. Perfect.”
@queeniekatyb shared: “Delilah looks lovely in what she’s wearing. Make sure your children feel comfortable and happy in their own skin.” @ionas_mummy added: “@hjgflanagan shouldn’t have to justify yourself, shame on you. People dress how they prefer.”
