Helen Flanagan has made an honest admission about suffering 'mum guilt' as she also shared a glimpse inside her isolation period for I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. The former Coronation Street star took part in a small Q&A with her followers on Instagram earlier this week.

One of the questions saw Bury-born Helen asked about her two-year-old son, Charlie, and whether the one-year-old has a bedtime routine. "Yes Charlie has an amazing routine," the 32-year-old replied. "He goes to bed really well for me and in his own cot."

She then shared: "I have help from a child minder who has become my friend. Sometime I feel guilty I get mum guilt a lot that I can't do every single thing but I try my best." It comes after Helen appeared emotional as she spoke directly to her fans and admitted she's 'really bad at being on her own'.

The actress, who is famed for playing Rosie Webster in ITV's Corrie, posted a video in which she appeared to be hunkered down on her sofa. SheHelen appeared make-up-free and rubbed her face in the clip as she appeared tired. Helen said she needs to 'constantly' be surrounded by friends or her children.

Helen looked sombre as she showed off her natural beauty while lying down in a grey tank top and pulled her long blonde tresses up into a bun. While not speaking in the video, she did wrote: 'I'm really bad at being on my own, anyone else relate to this? I constantly have to have my friends with me or be with my kids."

Meanwhile, the former soap star has also been sharing a glimpse into her isolation period from last year when she was taking part in the brand new I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here spin-off.
