Helen Flanagan sweetly kisses son Charlie, 2, as they spend quality time together after she was mum-shamed

Helen Flanagan spent quality time out and about with her son Charlie as the two headed out in Manchester on Tuesday. 

The mother, 33, and son looked in great spirits as Helen swept the two-year-old off his feet and carried him in her arms. 

In one sweet snap the doting mother kissed her son amid recent mum-shaming comments. 

Helen was forced to hit back at trolls last week after fans reacted to her Instagram snaps as she posed in a busty pink top. 

The former Coronation Street actress had her say after posting a glamorous video of her getting ready for a night out with her girlfriends.

Under the post there were several negative comments about her appearance. 

One said: ‘Very inappropriate for mom!’, while another penned: ‘Do you crave attention?’

Subtly hitting back she posted a quote to her Story that read: ‘Compliment yourself. Get dressed up for yourself. Take yourself out and celebrate your life.

‘A woman becomes a force when she learns to be her own best friend,’ the uplifting template read.’

Yet it looked like all that was behind her as she enjoyed some one and one time with her only son. 

Helen looked incredible as she showed off her toned abs in a brown gym wear set and trainers. 

The star displayed her surgically enhanced assets in the sports bra as she ran after Charlie who looked adorable in a brown jumper adorned with a bear’s face. 

Helen shares children Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, with her ex-partner, footballer Scott Sinclair.

Helen and Scott split in July last year after 13 years together and the star has made it clear they will not be rekindling their romance.

Helen frequently shares her children with her followers and it is not the first time the star has been met with criticism.

Last month the star came under fire after sharing a snap of herself and her daughter, Matilda, eight, cuddled up together as they donned matching multi-coloured patterned dresses. 

Commenting on the photo one follower wrote: ‘It’s starting to look like your kids are just an accessory’ and a second replied to the comment: ‘Starting?’ 

Yet others were quick to praise the star as one wrote: ”What a great job you are doing. Even considering the shenanigans everyone goes through with kids!!!’ 

Having her say: It comes after Helen ‘hit back’ at trolls who mum-shamed her after posing in a busty pink top last weekend
