Oranges and lemons! Helen Flanagan overdoes it on the fake tan

She's suffered more than her fair share of fake tan faux pas in the past.
But Helen Flanagan didn't appear to have learned anything from her previous blunders at the hands of a spray tan gun as she stepped out on Monday.
Looking as though she had come straight from the tanning shop, the 22-year-old actress was sporting a practically radioactive orange glow as she arrived at the ITV studios in central London.

Alongside her tangerine hue, the former Coronation Street actress seemed to have taken on a citrus theme to her ensemble - teaming her dodgy tan with a lemon yellow jacket.
 
The jungle princess appeared to have opted for an edgy makeover for the day, pairing her vivid outerwear with skintight skinny jeans and bizarre white and silver wedge trainers.
Although the look was a far cry from her usual glamour girl look, the ditzy blonde made sure to add a touch of WAG style to her outfit in the form of a black leather Hermes Birkin handbag.

As usual, the star's platinum locks were piled up on top of her head in her signature top knot style, which only served to accentuate the thick rim of orange tan circling her forehead.
Helen appeared to have treated herself to the ensemble during a 20-minute shopping spree in the London Oxford Street branch of Selfridges.
Writing on her Twitter page, she said: '20 minute shop boom outfit done.'
It was a special day for the former soap beauty, with Helen's Manchester City player boyfriend celebrating his 24th birthday.

She tweeted: 'Happy Birthday to my @Scotty_Sinclair love you #24.'
But it would seem the couple elected to spend the majority of the day apart, given Helen's visit to the Loose Women panel in London at lunchtime.
The platinum blonde bombshell's penchant for fake tan attracted particular criticism during her time in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! late last year, when she overdid it on numerous occasions.

Boxer David Haye quipped: 'Helen is a real cute little chick, a bit ditzy but she stinks of fake tan.'
Actress Charlie Brooks added: 'It does look a little bit ridiculous she looks like an oompa loompa, she looks ridiculous.'
Meanwhile, Helen admitted she goes for a spray tan every two nights, telling the camp: 'I always go for spray tans every two nights, I pay for it, it’s my money, not my boyfriend’s.
