HELEN FLANAGAN
Keyboard warriors hit out at the star, 32, for filming her children “24/7” after she shared a sweet video of herself and her brood on social media.
The footage – captioned, “Woke up in paradise” – showed daughters Matilda, eight, and Delilah, five, playing pat-a-cake while Helen could be seen cuddling her two-year-old son Charlie in the background.
“Perhaps your youngest two will enjoy it if the phone isn’t on them 24/7??” blasted one follower.
“Please chuck your phone over the balcony and enjoy your holiday without the need for likes on social media,” another added.
Helen later uploaded a video of her zooming in on her son’s face as he watched TV, as well as a clip of her playing with her two youngest by the pool. The sweet post shows Helen saying, “Mummy loves you two!” as she tickled them both affectionately, leaving Delilah in a fit of giggles.
This isn’t the first time Helen – who shares the kids with her ex, footballer Scott Sinclair – has been targeted by trolls.
In June, the former Corrie star was accused of being “drunk” while trying to get a family picture as she enjoyed what looked like a glass of wine.
Helen – who clearly wasn’t drunk – was also slammed for being in her kids’ faces “all the time” after she shared Charlie’s “off-the-scale” temper tantrums and told fans that Delilah had to sleep with her at night.
Sharing the comments online, Helen hit back, “As a mum I want my kids to feel really loved and happy and safe. I’m affectionate and I co-sleep because that’s how Delilah is happier and I don’t want her to cry. She will grow out of it.”
