Helen Flanagan brands herself an ‘idiot’ after making controversial parenting decision
HELEN Flanagan jokingly branded herself an “idiot” over her latest parenting decision.
It came as the ex Coronation Street actress, 33, took her two daughters to the Trafford Centre in Manchester for a shopping session.
Helen is proud parent to Matilda, aged seven, Delilah, aged five, and Charlie, aged two – who she shares with former fiance Scott Sinclair, 34.
She took her two eldest for a snack in Starbucks then filmed just how they were getting around.
She captured Delilah beaming for the camera as she zipped around on a purple scooter – with her big sister close behind.
Helen, wearing a white top and her hair in a low bun, flashed a wry smile for the camera as she wrote in her caption: “What idiot lets their kids out on scooters at The Trafford Centre.”
Later on, she showed how Matilda was being “brave” touching a starfish at the aquatics section of the iconic shopping and lifestyle destination.
Recently, Helen was cruelly mum-shamed for where she buys her kids’ school shoes.
She was also called out for a video which appeared to show her “smoking” – when in fact she was lighting a candle.
Helen also previously confessed she was in big trouble with daughter Matilda’s school after she put braids in her hair.
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.”
Recently she was mum-shamed after she shared a picture of her brood while drinking wine.
Previously, Helen was cruelly called out after sharing a snapshot of her son’s temper tantrums.
She was also targeted by trolls after going on holiday to Ibiza without her kids.
