Helen Flanagan joins hairdresser pal Jay Birmingham for dinner

Helen Flanagan put on a stylish display as she stepped out in Manchester on Sunday to go to dinner with her friend Jay Birmingham.

The actress, 31, looked stunning in a brown leather blazer with a matching belt to cinch her in at her svelte waist.

She paired it with coordinating leather trousers that clung to her curves and accentuated her chiselled legs.

Elevating her height with a pair of nude heels, she toted a brown leather handbag as she beamed for the cameras.

Her long blonde tresses were swept up in a bun, secured with a tan leather strap, and she completed her look with a swipe of lip gloss. 

Helen is mother to daughters Matilda, six, and Delilah, three, and son Charlie, nine months, with her partner Scott Sinclair.

The star recently took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of the vision board she used this year to keep her on track with her resolutions after saying goodbye to 2020 last December.

After removing the contents of the board in preparation for 2022, Helen wrote: ‘I did a vision board this year and I loved it.

‘Bought things from @hobbycrafting I did lots of things on my vision board. I obviously didn’t do everything but I came close to a lot of my goals or made a start on some.

‘This year I’m going to keep mine in the kitchen where I make coffee in the morning.

‘I have ADD so this kind of thing I love to keep me focused.’

The soap star, who is taking a break from the cobbles, made it clear that her three children are her priority, but didn’t rule out jumping back into acting.

‘I really do miss Coronation Street and I’d love to get back into acting properly when the time comes,’ she revealed.

Of whether she would like any more children, The Manchester-born actress said ‘never say never’, but did remark that it’s likely Charlie will be her last.

Elsewhere in the interview, Helen drew on her life mantra – ‘don’t expect anything to be perfect’ – and said that turning 30 resulted in her feeling more body confident.

She took a particularly poignant stance on social media, detailing how she likes to be ‘as honest as she can.’

Admitting that she doesn’t edit her photos, Helen said: ‘I think it’s unhealthy for young people to be constantly exposed to those images of perfection online.’
