Heavenly Helen

It’s not often you get to describe Helen Flanagan as angelic, but the star looked almost saintly as she posed in white dress with feather wings for a photoshoot recently.
The 23-year-old former Coronation Street actress wore a white dress for her new role as guest-God on gaming site Bingo Godz.
Her new burnt red hair looked lighter than when she first dyed it, with her previous blonde highlights glowing through the powerful red dye.

Not looking at the camera for the full-length shot, Helen’s famous curves were kept covered up in a stylish and 

The only colour in the photo, bar her red hair, was the crown of leaves she wore on her head.
For once the star was smiling sweetly as she looked down for the photographer, which is a far cry from her usual pouty look.
The huge tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on her left forearm stood out shattering her completely angelic look, but giving her a stylish, modern edge.
In another promotional shot, the star is seen posing on a luxurious four poster bed with two other characters, thought to be Zeus and Cleopatra.
Posing with the pair, the star smiled again this time with her curly red hair tumbling down her shoulders and the addition of large chunky gold jewellery.

Helen has been unveiled as the first celebrity guest-God on the immersive gaming site, and even has her own avatar for people to use. 
Called Helena the Mancunian Goddess of Love the character was drawn from the image of Helen shot in a white dress. 
Speaking about her work with the site, Helen said: ‘I love my character! Who wouldn’t want to be immortalised into their very own godly alter-ego. 
It was a lot of fun on the photo-shoot and I hope that my appearance brings players lots of luck. Who would have thought there would be a god from Manchester?’

Terror of Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan

Model Helen Flanagan has been left shaken and in tears after three armed raiders broke into her home and confronted her last night.
The men burst into the Cheshire home she shares with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair shortly before midnight.
The raiders - who were armed with a screwdriver and a saw - fled from the property with jewellery and a mobile phone.
A spokesman for the former Coronation Street actress confirmed she was left 'shaken' by the incident but is 'coping well'.
The incident happened after Helen, 22, let slip on Twitter that she was in the large detached home alone as Manchester City star Scott was away.
She wrote: 'Super tired today, which makes me emotional, sensitive and mental!
'Can't wait to have my boyfriend home.'
The raiders confronted two woman who were inside the home at the time, a police spokesman said.
The incident happened after Helen was seen out in Alderley Edge yesterday afternoon.
Police were seen outside the property this afternoon, and have been interviewing Helen as well as taking evidence from inside. 
A spokesman for Cheshire Police said they were treating the incident as an aggravated burglary.
'We are investigating a burglary at a private address in Prestbury reported at 11.50pm on Monday 17 June,' he said.
'Thieves broke into the detached property and stole items of jewellery and a mobile phone. 
'The investigation into the incident is continuing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cheshire Police.'
Helen's boyfriend Scott is a 24-year-old winger who plays for Premier League side Manchester City.

The footballer was recently told he needs to have his top rib removed because he has a blood clot in his shoulder. The surgery will stop him from training for the next three months.
It has been reported that Helen is planning to stay with a friend for the next few days before making a decision about whether or not she can return to live in the house.

There have been rumours that Helen is set to split from her long-term partner Scott after he allegedly had a fling with a mystery woman while on holiday in Monaco.

The star was seen flirting with woman while on holiday and it is thought he did not want a relationship.
However, the model was apparently looking forward to seeing the star when he got back.
Helen reportedly underwent a nose job recently after suffering years of abuse.
Since the age of ten the actress has become a regular face on television screens.

She played hell-raiser Rosie Webster in Coronation Street since 2000, and after she quit the role in 2012 participated in the twelfth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, where she finished in seventh place out of the 12 celebrities competing.
In October last year she moved her things from her home in Swansea, Wales,into her Sinclair's £6,500 a month Cheshire mansion.
The expensive home is situated in Prestbury, Cheshire, an affluent area that is well populated with other Premier League footballers.
The surroundings are a far cry from the more humble settings Helen and Scott were used to in Swansea, Wales, where they lived together for just over a year before moving out in August last year.

The couple spent most of September living in a suite at the Radisson Blu Edwardian in Manchester.
It has been a tough year for Flanagan.

She faced a public backlash during her stint on 'I'm A Celebrity', where the public kept voting for her to endure Bushtucker trials.

Then in December last year she revealed her secret battle with depression and how she considered ending her life during her time on Coronation Street.
The fragile actress said that she is on medication for Bipolar disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder but stopped taking it for a year and a half, culminating in a dark spiral into despair.
It was then that the actress decided to quit the soap opera and concentrate on battling her illness, putting herself back on her medication in a bid to turn her life around.
The actress, who has become well-known for her racy photo shoots, is now appearing in her first feature film.
Set in 1970s Lancashire, Fizzy Days is a coming of age story inspired by director Mark Millicient's own teenage years.
The movie tells the tale of school pals Eddy and Tomo, who have their hearts set on owning a Yamaha 'Fizzy' bike in the hope of achieving pop stardom and bagging gorgeous girlfriends.
After getting jobs in a supermarket to fund their dream, the duo decide their plan isn't panning out quickly enough and decide to hold-up their place of work to get enough money for the bike.
Helen plays 'supercool chick' and blonde bombshell Rachel Roberts, the object of affection for the group of teenage boys.
Described as a 'warm and funny film about growing up', Fizzy Days also stars This Is England’s Stephen Graham and Shameless stars Jody Latham and James Drefus.

Corrie is the word! Catherine Tyldesley embraces 50s style

They were turning out in style to support their Coronation Street co-star Simon Gregson as he hosted a Grease-themed charity ball.
But Catherine Tyldesley and Samia Ghadie opted for very different approaches to their party looks as they posed up a storm at Manchester's Palace Hotel on Sunday night.
Catherine threw herself into the spirit of the occasion, embracing 50s style in a bright red halterneck polka dot dress.

Showing off her incredible hourglass curves in all their glory, the 29-year-old star's choice of fun and flirty frock featured a dramatic full skirt and a nipped in waist which accentuated her teeny-tiny middle.
 
Not leaving any stone unturned when it came to her outfit choice, the actress teamed her funky dress with a pair of bright white stilettos, matching clutch bag and a white belt to show off her enviably slim waist even further.
Catherine - who plays Eva Price in the ITV1 soap - completed her party look with her blonde locks teased into retro-style curls, a slick of dramatic red lipstick and even a beauty spot.

Writing on her Twitter page before heading out for the evening, she said: 'So excited about @simongregson123 #GREGSONSDINER Tonight.'
But Samia didn't seem to follow her co-star's lead when it came to her outfit choice, shunning the 50s theme in favour of a simple LBD.
Although she looked effortlessly elegant in her plunging Vivienne Westwood midi-dress, the 30-eyar-old actress didn't really fit in with the spirit of the occasion.

Samia completed her look with towering black peep-toe heels and a matching clutch bag, while making sure to show off her recent £4,000 boob job with plenty of cleavage on show.
Speaking about her decision to boost her bust from an A cup to a C cup, the mother-of-one recently told OK! magazine: 'After Freya was born my boobs disappeared. Anybody who knows me will know that it's something I talked about having done. I wanted to feel womanly again.'
'Just the thought of putting a bikini on on holiday was making me feel a little depressed before, so I made up my mind to do it.'

Calm before the storm! Brooke Vincent soaks up the sun

When you spend your days taking part in dramatic plot lines in a soap it’s understandable you’d look for similar excitement in your personal life. 
That seems to be the case for Brooke Vincent anyway who ensured her 21st birthday would be one she’d never forget. 
The Coronation Street actress treated herself to a break in the sun before heading back to the UK for not just one but two parties, one of which unfortunately turned sour after a row with her best pal Michelle Keegan.

Showing off her curvy figure the star slipped into a leopard print bikini which was perhaps a sign of the wild times to come when she returned to the UK.
 
With her cleavage on show Brooke looked confident in her two piece as she relaxed at a water park in Spain.
Her long dark hair looked healthy as it fell down her back and she covered her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

While she may have gotten one year older she proved she’s still a kid at heart as she tried out the various attractions at the park.
The starlet - who plays Sophie Webster in the ITV1 soap – was seen emerging from a couple of water flumes looking like she was having a whale of a time. 
With her hair slicked back off her face the actress then had a go on a doughnut which travelled along a fun-looking course.

When she returned to the UK Brooke celebrated her 21st birthday with a star-studded bash at Manchester's Great John Street Hotel on Saturday night, surrounded by a multitude of showbiz pals including Kym Lomas, Helen Flanagan, Catherine Tyldesley and Antony Cotton.
However the night wasn’t perhaps all that she hoped after it's claimed she fell out with her friend and co-star Michelle Keegan.
Birthday girl Brooke reportedly had a pop at the Sexiest Female in soap, declaring that her boyfriend Mark Wright was ‘following her around like a lost puppy.’

According to The Mirror the jibes didn’t go down too well with 26-year-old Michelle who quickly defended her man in front of everybody at the party. 
An insider told the paper: ‘Brooke made some tongue-in-cheek remarks about Michelle having Mark under her thumb. Michelle got wind of it and wasn’t happy, and had some strong words with Brooke afterwards.
‘They’ve always got on well together but in the heat of the moment it got quite feisty. Brooke made the comments all in good humour, but everyone had had a few drinks which made things 10 times worse.

Both Michelle and Brook have denied the incident happened, with Vincent tweeting: '1st I've heard over this alleged "spat" "harsh words""fight" did you know about this @michkeegan ? Hahahahahahaha wtf!!(sic)'
While Keegan refuted the comments just as jovially : 'This is just proof of how papers write complete rubbish!! Don't let anything tarnish YOUR birthday! Such a good night B! @BrookeLVincent xxx'.

Born to be wild! A catsuit-clad Helen Flanagan

She's becoming better known for her racy modelling work and reality TV appearances than her acting skills since leaving Coronation Street in February 2012.
But it would seem that Helen Flanagan has found the perfect way to combine her two main loves in life as she posed up a storm to promote her new role in 1970s coming of age movie, Fizzy Days.
The 22-year-old actress positively smouldered as she straddled a motorbike wearing a series of sexy outfits, which showed off her fantastic figure to perfection.

Pulling her signature pouting pose for the camera, the blonde bombshell showed off her incredible curves in a clingy black zip-through catsuit, which left not an inch to pinch.
After pulling off her helmet, the Manchester City WAG changed into a 70s-inspired silk patterned shirt and a black miniskirt, which she teamed with pink tights and sexy black leather knee-high boots.
