Corrie’s Helen Flanagan puts make-up on her mini-me daughter calling her ‘the love of my life’

FORMER Cornonation Street actress Helen Flanagan has shared a series of adorable snaps of her daughter after the pair enjoyed some mother and daughter time.

The newly single star shared the pictures after having a playdate with eldest daughter Matilda that consisted of a make-up session.

Helen and her daughter sported a very bold lip colour after applying the make-up as Helen caller her the 'love of my life'.

The duo could be seen relaxing in their festive pyjamas as they played around with their looks in a short clip the actress also posted.

She captioned it: "Happy Christmas Eve Eve. GRWM with my beautiful little girl she's so funny."

Helen enjoyed a cup of tea and a festive cookie whilst her daughter got to work on the fun make-up look.

The girls pulled a funny face as they flashed their teeth in another playful snap as Helen said: "Like mother like daughter."

The quality time for the pair comes amid Helen's heartbreaking split from partner Scott Sinclair earlier this year.

However, the pair are thought to be spending Christmas togteher.

Insiders said the pair planned to enjoy the festivities together for the sake of their three children.

Pals said they would be together for their children but any talk of a reconciliation was out of the question.

A source said: “Helen’s sole focus is the three children she shares with Scott and they want to make this Christmas as ‘normal’ as possible.

“Scott is a professional footballer so often he won’t be around on Christmas day because of his fixtures list however Helen and Scott are planning something special for the children.

“Although they’re no longer together they will work together to make it magical for the kids.

“Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”

The Sun first revealed how Helen and Scott had split – with the soap actress ditching her engagement ring.
