Helen Flanagan shows rarely-seen Marilyn Monroe tattoo as she poses in bikini on adorable summer outing with her son

Corrie star Helen Flanagan enjoyed a sunshine outing with her son Charlie as the pair spent some quality time together. The doting mum looked incredible in a powder blue bikini as she larked around with her youngest child, who she welcomed with footballer fiance Scott Sinclair last March.

Helen made her son smile as she performed what she described as 'uncool mumsy dancing' as they sat side-by-side on a blanket while Charlie played with his toys. With the adorable clip shared on her Instagram she wrote: "Uncool mumsy dancing but he likes it."

Corrie's Rosie Webster displayed her faded Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her forearm as she posed for a photo. And she went makeup free for their bonding time.

Helen, 31, had the inking done when she 22. And the tattoo, similar to one previously sported by Hollywood actress Megan Fox's, made its debut at Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2012.

Last year Helen, who got engaged to her beau at Disneyland Paris in 2018, said she wanted to get rid of the portrait of movie goddess Marilyn. She sought advice from her fans on Instagram on where to get it removed.

The actress from Bury said she 'didn't like' the ink when trying on wedding dresses for the big day. Taking to her Instagram stories with a selfie partially showing the tattoo, she wrote: "I would love some recommendations on tattoo removal. I don't like the tattoo on my arm when trying on wedding dresses."

In an interview with the Daily Record back in 2013, Helen revealed her mum 'cried for a week' over the tattoo. She said: "My parents are really conservative – they were like, ‘Oh my God, you’ve had a tattoo’? My mum cried for a week. She was like, ‘Oh God, what happens on your wedding day’?"

Helen, who also has daughters Matilda, seven and Delilah, four, last week took to social media to highlight the benefits of spending 'quality time' with each of her children in turn. Giving an insight into their routine she saud: "I love to have one and one quality time with each of my children. Matilda always goes into school happier and Delilah has less tantrums and Charlie is more settled."
