Helen Flanagan admits she is in big trouble with her daughter’s school for ‘rule breaking’

HELEN Flanagan has revealed she's had to take drastic action so her daughter is allowed back to school.

The ex Coronation Street actress, 32, is proud parent to Matilda, aged seven, Delilah, aged five, and Charlie, aged two - who she shares with former fiance Scott Sinclair, 34.

During the weekend, she broke down in tears as she celebrated daughter Delilah's fifth birthday.

Yet it was her eldest Matilda who was in the spotlight this week.

The youngster had her hair styled into lengthy purple braids - which Helen confessed weren't popular with everyone.

Filming herself with her hairdresser Kelvin Barron in a video posted to her Instagram Stories Helen, wearing a black vest and her hair in an up-do, said: "So the braids didn't go down too well at school."

Kelvin interjected: "What a time to be alive," before Helen said: "So me and Kelvin have to do every single braid so she can go to school tomorrow."

Helen then showed off the stunning lilac locks in her hands.

Kelvin then joked: "Mother of the year."

In her video caption, Helen clarified: "It was the colour they didn't like at school, maybe summer holidays."

Meanwhile, this weekend, Helen shared a video of youngest daughter Delilah looking very happy standing with her birthday balloons.

The former Corrie actress then posted a number of pictures from over the last five years, as well as one of her with a tear streaming down her cheek.

Helen said: "Not overly emotional but always cry when it's my kids birthdays.

"Usually when the cake comes out, crazy how much you love your babies."

Yet recently she was cruelly mum-shamed after she shared a picture of her brood while drinking wine.

Previously, Helen was cruelly mum-shamed after sharing a snapshot of her son's temper tantrums.

She was also called out by trolls after going on holiday to Ibiza without her kids.

Recently, she also shared a sweet tribute to ex Scotty on Father's Day.
