Helen Flanagan put on a very busty display as she showcased her incredible figure after opening up about her recent weight gain. 

The former Coronation Street star, 34, enjoyed a rare child free weekend away and took to Instagram as she candidly told her fans that she had packed clothes that no longer fit her. 

Posing in a plunging pink ʙικιɴι in a cheeky mirror selfie, she wrote: ‘I’ve gained weight recently and luckily I brought lots of options for the evening for dresses as some of the dresses I brought that usually fit me wouldn’t zip up.’

Dressing up for the evening she later shared a clip of herself wowing in a pale pink sparkly square necked mini dress, adorned with gold ʙuттons. 

Showcasing her ample cleavage in the number from Lavish Alice, Helen looked positively radiant as she captioned the post: ‘Rare child free night’. 

It comes after the actress made a candid body image confession as she opened up about having an eating disorder as a teenager over the weekend.

Helen also admitted she is taking a hormone balance tonic from Rheal Superfoods to help with her PMDD. 

She told her followers: ‘I took a hormone test recently with @hertility as I really am interested in were [sic] I stand with my hormones as I know you can start being peri menopausal from being 35 and I turn 35 in the summer x 

‘I’m interested in everything to do with hormones and being more in tune with my body with having pmdd and having hyperemis gravidarum three times x’. 

On Sunday Helen shared a throwback snap of herself breastfeeding her son Charlie as she has admitted she has only recently introduced bread and pasta back into her diet after two years of avoiding them. 

Helen shared that she felt she put weight on last month as she had been doing dry January, which in turn made her want to snack more. 

But she concluded the honest post with: ‘I don’t think as women we ever happy there’s always something to pick at but I suppose as you get older it’s a nice thing as you just become more comfortable in your skin.’

She captioned the snap: ‘I’ve put weight on this January, I’ve done dry January, I wanted to support my boyfriend with it so did it myself…. 

‘Then I realised my drinking habits probably weren’t the best myself… so cutting down on my drinking as made me just want to snack more but it’s fine x.’

‘I turn 35 this year, but as women I think it’s important to support each other, surgery or no surgery what ever makes you happy.’

Back in October, the actress revealed she had only just begun eating bread after suffering from an eating disorder since she was 16.

Speaking on The Mail’s The Life of Bryony podcast, she said: ‘When I was about 16, I am naturally slim, but I was obsessed with being seven stone.

‘I was around a lot of actresses and models and they were all doing the pH๏τo shoots. I just wanted to be like them. I hardly ate anything.’

Helen said the school nurse as well as Coronation Street producers would call her mum up at the time.

‘I remember kind of like school nurse being involved and like Coronation Street,’ she said.

‘If I’m really honest, I think some of my eating habits probably aren’t the best, but I’m definitely healthy because I’m aware of my daughter.

‘So I think having Matilda for me is a really good, like, I need to be a good example because it, I would hate for her to have an eating disorder because it’s f*****g miserable. I’ve just started to eat bread again because I just wouldn’t touch it.

‘When I got into this thing where, like, me and my ex-fiancé split up, that I just suddenly was like, I’m not touching bread and I’m not touching pasta. I get these, like, weird little quirks that I do with my food.’
