She vowed to stop editing her snaps because she wants to be a good role model to her children.
And Helen Flanagan made good on her vow on Thursday as she shared a candid video where she showed off her tummy rolls while wearing a crop top and shorts in a post shared to Instagram.
The actress, 29, shared two versions of the video, one where she simply showed off her sensational figure from the top down and another ‘real’ one where she took a video of her tummy from the side and pinched it.
