The former Coronation Street actress hit out at stark remarks suggesting she looks pregnant in a candid statement on her page – admitting she’s actually “happier” in herself.

Helen, 34 – who recently showcased her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot on reality series Celebs Go Dating – pulled on a white halterneck bikini top and matching sarong as she posed by a pool.
In the sizzling snap, she accessorised with a handbag and styled her blonde hair into loose waves over her shoulders.
The actress donned minimal make-up and flashed a smile for the sun-soaked snap.
Yet she added a rather sobering Instagram caption which read: “I’m a UK size 6.
“If I’ve started to put weight on its maybe I’m happier and not anxious and worked up all the time so eating more.”
The Rosie Webster star added: “I’m really proud of my body it’s given me three beautiful children.”
We told how Helen had wowed in the two-piece for the Celebs Go Dating final, where she was accompanied by new man Robbie Talbot.
In her Instagram image caption she wrote: “White Pool Party Finale tonight at 10pm.”
Yet this sadly sparked a slew of unkind comments, many of which she screen-grabbed onto her Stories.
One fan quizzed: “How long before she announces she’s pregnant.”
Another wrote: “She looks it already.”
A third posted: “New baby?”
Yet Helen’s followers made sure to have her back.

Earlier this week, Helen opened up on her new happy life chapter with Robbie on ITV show Lorraine.
It came after the couple took a major relationship milestone.
On the show, Helen addressed speculation she was “faking” her Celebs Go Dating experience as she was already dating Robbie, 44, at the time.
She told ITV host Lorraine Kelly, 64, how her intentions for Celebs Go Dating were pure when she put pen to paper on her deal – despite allegations of “putting on” her feelings during her opening show dates.
She said: “I signed up for the show at the beginning of the year, and we [she and Robbie] were dating.
“It just progressed.
“I wear my heart on my sleeve and I just wanted to come clean.”
She added: “I wanted to be true to myself.
“I am a big fan of the show, I love the show, and I wanted to get the most from the show.
“I wanted to be honest.”
Helen had signed up to the show following her split with ex Scott Sinclair, 34.
The pair share and co-parent three kids.
