Helen Flanagan was forced to hit back at pregnancy speculation on Friday after being trolled over her ‘weight gain.’
The actress, 34, showed off her incredible figure in a white bikini as she went Instagram official with her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot, 44, this week.
But, she was met with a slew of rude comments from her followers who wrote: ‘You don’t look as thin as normal, you preggers?’
Calling out the trolls on her Story, Helen said: ‘I’m a UK size 6, if I’ve put on weight it’s because maybe I’m happier and not anxious and worked up all the time so I’m eating more.
‘I’m really proud of my body it’s given me three beautiful children.’

Robbie opted for a more casual look, sporting a white T-shirt teamed with a pair of grey shorts, as he wrapped his arm around his girlfriend.
Helen wrote in her caption: ‘White Pool Party Finale tonight at 10pm on @e4grams.’
Earlier this month the blonde bombshell broke down in tears after she faced being axed from Celebs Go Dating – with experts sinking claws into star for lying about her secret relationship with Robbie and ‘wasting everyone’s time’.
In shocking scenes she revealed she is ‘in love with him, despite continuing with her journey on the Channel 4 show.
After her confession, love guru Paul Brunson said in a confessional: ‘Helen has not only wasted our time, but all of the dates’ time.
‘We need to hear the full truth of why she has kept this from us. And if we are not happy with her response, it is time for her to leave the agency.’
But, she was met with a slew of rude comments from her followers who wrote: ‘You don’t look as thin as normal, you preggers?’

Back at the office, Helen said: ‘I know I can’t date but I would like to maybe stay in the agency and still have a bit of maybe therapy. For myself.’
After this, she begins to tear up as she waits for the experts’ decision.
They thanked her for being honest and tell her that they can work with anything, before Paul, who came down the strongest after the reveal, gives her a hug.
He told Helen: ‘I applaud this. I rate this. This is all I wanted.’
Robbie has since appeared regularly on the show as the experts help him and Helen navigate their relationship.
Recent episodes saw Helen reveal that Robbie has taken on step-dad duties with her three children in a major relationship update on the show.
Helen met up with her friend, DJ and presenter Ashley James, 37, and they had a candid chat with her pal about how her new relationship is blossoming.
During the conversation, Helen gushed: ‘He’s just amazing, he treats me so well, he’s so kind, really sweet, he’s the loveliest man.
‘He helps me with my kids, he’ll take Charlie to nursery. He helped me the other day with the kids. He can’t do enough for me.’
Ashley chimed in to ask: ‘So when you met Robbie, did you know straight away? What made you want to join the agency.’
‘I was so all over the place,’ admitted Helen, ‘but I realised that I actually had a lot of issues that I needed to work on, on myself. So I thought that I’d really, really grow from it.’

The soap star added: ‘But I kind of feel like I wanted to bring Robbie to the agency because I’m really proud of the relationship that I have with him. It’s really healthy and it’s really loving.
‘And I kind of really wanted to inspire other single mums that have maybe had times like me and then they end up finding something really, really lovely.’
Giving her friend advice, Ashley reminded her: ‘What I would say with Robbie is of course I only want you to be happy but keep your standards high and know what you deserve, because you deserve so much. It’s so nice to see you happy.’
