Helen Flanagan Stuns in Floral Lingerie Shoot Following Breakup with Former Footballer

Helen Flanagan has once again captured attention — this time with a striking lingerie photoshoot — just weeks after ending her relationship with retired footballer Robbie Talbot.

The 34-year-old actress, best known for her role as Rosie Webster on Coronation Street, confidently modeled pastel-toned lingerie from her Nikki Intimates line, embracing a fresh, empowered look post-breakup.

In one of the standout images, Helen reclined against a radiator in an ivory and green floral push-up bra and matching thong, paired with delicate suspender stockings. Another photo showed her in a chic cut-out bodysuit, exuding confidence and grace. Taking the shoot outdoors, she posed next to a flowering bush, radiating natural beauty with soft waves in her blonde hair and subtle, dewy makeup.

One particularly eye-catching ensemble featured a pale green lace babydoll with a plunging neckline, channeling a breezy summer aesthetic. Across various looks, she kept her style light and playful, including lounging scenes on a red chair and a plush sofa in frilly lingerie.

This new photo series follows Helen’s recent beach vacation to Nice, France, where she was also seen in a variety of swimwear looks — her first public outing after the breakup news.

A New Chapter

Helen and Robbie, 45, were together for about a year before deciding to part ways. While she had once envisioned building a family with him, sources close to the star say she ultimately chose to focus on her career and children.

“She’s landed a new acting role and is balancing that with being a hands-on mum,” a friend shared. “They just weren’t aligned in what they wanted for the future. Helen had an honest conversation with him, and they agreed to move on.”

The breakup was described as amicable, with Helen reportedly saying she needed time to be on her own, despite still caring for Robbie.

Before dating Robbie — whom she met shortly before appearing on Celebs Go Dating — Helen was in a long-term relationship with professional footballer Scott Sinclair, with whom she shares three children. Robbie, a father himself, had moved into her home in Bolton last September, but moved out just last month.

Helen’s latest appearance signals a shift — one where she’s embracing independence, motherhood, and a renewed focus on her professional journey.
