She recently urged her followers to get involved in the effort to make personal protective equipment for frontline workers amid the coronavirus crisis.

But Helen Flanagan took a moment to herself as she playfully posed for Instagram on Saturday.  

The former Coronation Street star, 29, put on a very leggy display as knelt on the ground in a pair of powder pink shorts.

She finished the look with a crisp white T-shirt and a black Prada over-the-shoulder bag.

The brunette beauty styled her hair in an effortless bun and gazed longingly toward the camera with her chin rested on her hand. 

Helen posted the picture alongside a caption that read: ‘It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. Don’t know why I have a bag as I’m going absolutely nowhere.’ 

The latest outing comes after Helen looked effortlessly chic in a pink spotted maxi dress last week in another fashionable Instagram snap.

She looked sensational in the fitted thigh-split dress she teamed with simple black trainers as she posed for the fashionable social media snaps.

Helen highlighted her slender physique in the gorgeous pale pink dress with black spots as she posed in the snaps.

The former soapstar’s dress also boasted a dramatic leg split as she teamed the laid-back look with classic trainers.

Allowing the dress to take centre stage, Helen pulled her sleek brunette tresses into a high ponytail.

Her post was captioned: ‘Pink always makes me feel positive.’

It comes after Helen took to Instagram clad in a pair of hospital scrubs, which she said had been made by her sister to help NHS workers. 

Helen urged her 921K followers to get involved as it’s an ‘amazing way to help’ and provides NHS frontline staff with a basic level of personal protective equipment (PPE).

The Government formally launched the ‘NHS needs you’ campaign on 20 March, urging more than 65,000 former NHS workers to return. 

While Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said almost 12,000 retired NHS staff are returning to the health service after the Government’s plea for help.

‘@Scrubs4heroes offer 100% free scrubs to NHS trusts – More than 65,000 retired NHS doctors & nurses have been called-back to help with the crisis – They need scrubs! Clean Scrubs are vital part of the most basic level of PPE.
