‘It’s just vile’: Helen Flanagan hits back at cruel trolls who branded her ‘tacky and unclassy’ for wearing a busty dress in an impassioned post

Helen Flanagan has hit back at cruel trolls who criticised her for wearing a busty dress in an impassioned post.

The former Coronation Street star, 32, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an array of the negative comments she received in response to posting a fashion reel.

Last week, she had posted a stunning video of herself sporting a very glamorous Valentine’s Day outfit following her split from ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.

But Helen has now revealed that cruel trolls branded her ‘tacky and unclassy’ in a slew of ‘vile’ comments that she admitted had been mostly sent to her by women.

She revealed that some people even went as far as to say that she wasn’t a good role model for her daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four, because of the post.

Stunning: Last week, she had shared a stunning video of herself sporting a very glamorous Valentine’s Day outfit following her split from ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair

Sharing an array of the mean remarks printed over her original post, Helen said she believes nobody should comment negatively on a woman’s appearance and urged people to just ‘scroll past’.

She also shared a graphic reading ’empowered women empower women’ and the supportive comments she received in response to the trolling as she urged people to have each other’s back on social media.

In her very lengthy caption, she penned: ‘So I shared a fashion reel a few days ago and I was a bit taken back from the not so nice comments I got on the post. I was more shocked that the majority of them were from women. 

‘I’m a girls girl and very much for other women and I always have another womens back. I don’t believe women should comment negatively about other women. 

‘I enjoy seeing women feeling glamorous and feeling empowered and dressing how they want to dress.

‘Sometimes I see outfits that I wouldn’t wear as maybe they are too revealing for me but I just think good on the girl that has the confidence to wear what she wants to wear. 

‘I had some comments from other women about being ‘tacky’ or ‘unclassy’ well to me being a woman and speaking so badly of another woman’s appearance is ‘tacky and unclassy’. 

‘I never speak badly about how another women looks as it’s just vile. I had comments about not being a good role model to my daughters. I will bring up my daughters to be kind, beautiful women that support other women with good morals and girl code.

Support: She was flooded with support from her celebrity fans and followers, and her close pal Ashley James had even hit out at the cruel trolls on her original post last week

‘Or you can just scroll past…. On social media you don’t like something you don’t have to comment. I love my account I feel like I really connect with others women and mothers and yeah basically I support other women, I don’t drag them down. 

‘As women we need each other. Thank you @ashleylouisejames for helping me with this and listening to my voice notes xxx’

She was flooded with support from her celebrity fans and followers, and her close pal Ashley James had even hit out at the cruel trolls on her original post last week.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, penned at the time: ‘Women being vile to you should honestly be ashamed of themselves. They’re showing their true colours for real.

‘People are so entitled to share their opinion on a woman’s looks and appearance, yet the fact they even think that way tells me the levels of insecurity they have for themselves. 

‘Imagine seeing the world and other women through such critical eyes. You look absolutely amazing.’

On her latest post, Michelle Keegan also showed her support, writing: ‘Well said girl! Unfortunately some people haven’t got a good moral compass. When they say negative comments it says more about them than you. F**k em. Keep doing you darling!’

While Lucy Fallon said: ‘Oh my girl!!!!!!!! Bunch of freaks of the week. you’re the best and ur looking mighty fine x x x love you.’

And Stephanie Davis added: ‘You look amazing babe. Ignore them don’t even give them the time, they thrive of it. You look stunning!’

Giovanna Fletcher commented: ‘Love love love love love you!!!!! YOU ARE LOVED! F**k the keyboard warriors.’

It comes after Helen posed for a sizzling lingerie-clad clip in an empowering body positivity post earlier this month.

Criticism: She revealed that some people even went as far as to say that she wasn’t a good role model for her daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four, because of the post

Split: It comes after Helen split from her footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair in October after 13 years together. They share daughters Matilda and Delilah and a son Charlie, 17 months

She referenced her split from ex-fiancé footballer Scott Sinclair in the video, saying: ‘I don’t need anyone to write me a Valentine’s Card telling me nice things about myself.’

Helen, who recently had a boob job and lip fillers, looked sensational in a black underwear set for the gorgeous footage.

The mother-of-three pouted in the mirror, speaking over the song ‘I AM WOMAN’ by Emmy Meli as she praised her body.

Helen split from Scott in October after the couple were together for 13 years. The former couple share daughters Matilda and Delilah and a son Charlie, 17 months.
