Helen Flanagan has been soaking up winter sun during her family holiday to Bali – and the star looked absolutely gorgeous in a green string bikini on Saturday.

Showing off her incredibly toned figure, the former Coronation Street actress posed in front of a dreamy poolside backdrop wearing a patterned bikini top and matching string bottoms.

Going makeup-free for the snapshots, Helen, 33, looked radiant with her hair tied up in a bun, while sharing with her followers her holiday misfortune.

The mother-of-three captioned the post: "The mum round the pool with the loud kids. A monkey took my Mui Mui sunglasses and Delilah's Nintendo Switch [laughing emoji] and I've burned my boobs, too busy making sure the kids had suncream on them."
