Helen Flanagan strips down to underwear before putting on stunning display on blue carpet amid 'mum guilt'

Helen Flanagan left little to the imagination as she stripped down to her underwear to show off her sensational figure before glamming up for a big event. The former Coronation Street star took to Instagram to share a glimpse into her getting ready for the latest ITV Palooza.

The star-studded event, formerly named the ITV Gala, took place on Tuesday evening (November 15) at London's Royal Festival Hall and is held by the broadcaster to showcase its forthcoming shows for the year ahead to advertisers and agencies. And of course plenty of ITV's own talent joined in the fun.

This Morning's Phillip Schofield hit the blue carpet without his presenting sidekick Holly Willoughby but was joined by fellow daytime favourites Lorraine Kelly and Susanna Reid. The Love Island stars were also out in force, including Olivia Attwood who stunned in pink after her early I'm A Celebrity exit.

And Helen, 32, also joined in the fun, strutting the blue carpet in a black blazer mini dress showing off her legs before posing for the many waiting cameras. The actress, who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, rocked the outfit, from Lavish Alice, which featured one sleeve and an asymmetrical neckline.

She added a pop of colour with the edition of a pink lip gloss, while Helen kept her shiny blonde locks straight until they flicked up towards her shoulders. She also kept accessions to a minimum, opting for a dazzling silver choker to match her equally as sparkly heels.

Before heading out to the event, Helen appeared on Instagram in just a black bra and matching pants and with her bangs in a roller as she sipped a coffee before getting stuck into getting ready for her night out. The mum-of-three then added a flawless transition into her classy look for the evening, smiling and posing for the camera with her hand on one hip.

She also tried on a few other dresses from the same fashion brand, including a black sequined dress with a fur top and trim that showed off her incredible figure.

She then put on another black sequence dress - this time is hung off her shoulders and tied at the back. before she was later seen at the ITV Palooza in her first option.

Taylor Ward was among the first to comment, simply writing: "Unreal," alongside a flame emoji. Helen's former I'm A Celebrity co-star Gillian McKeith commented: "Absolutely stunning as always!" while former on-screen sister Brooke Vincent, who played Corrie's Sophie Webster, flocked to the comments to post a string of love heart eye emojis.

And fans were also flocking to offer a compliment. @nikolasmurals said: "You are actually unreal!!!!!!!" @iamgigiiiii commented: "You look fabulous!!!!" @sherriepatterson15 wrote: "You look gorgeous in everything Helen." @ kennyloretta added: " Stunning as ever."

But as Helen headed for her child-free night out, she did admit to having 'mum guilt' while on the blue carpet. Talking about her kids - daughters Delilah, seven, Matilda, four, and one-year-old son Charlie - Helen told OK! : "Yeah, [they are] really good, really good. I came up today but as soon as I was on the train, I got mum guilt I was even away and I was thinking: ‘Oh Helen!’

You do if you’ve got kids, if you leave them for just one night you think: ‘I feel really bad!’ But they’re with their grandma tonight.” It comes after Helen was hailed an "amazing mum" as she took to Instagram to share how "every day is crazy" with her young children, who sh shared with footballer Scott Sinclair.

Taking to Instagram, Helen, who is reported to have split from her fiance Scott, posted a fresh-faced photo with her three children in their loungewear as they posed for the camera. The Bury soap star smiled for the camera while her eldest daughter gave a peace sign. "Every day is crazy," Helen, 32, wrote alongside the sweet image. "They are my whole heart, Matilda, Delilah, Charlie," she added. Myleene Klass was among the first to respond to the post, writing: " Super mama," alongside a string of red heart emojis.
