Helen Flanagan distracts fans as she declares she's entering new 'era' after brushing off backlash

Helen Flanagan found herself causing a distraction to fans as she declared that she was entering a new 'era'. The actress took to Instagram with a new snap of herself looking fresh-faced before jumping into her car.

The former Coronation Street star had her new blonder locks swept away from her face in a butterfly clip and a coffee in her hand as she went to go about her day. But Helen made sure eyes would still be on her as she sported an eye-catching leopard-print coat which boasted pink fur cuffs and matching collar.

In one snap Helen gave a peace sign to the camera while in the second she looked away from the camera as she fiddled with the clip in her hair, both while stood next to her large car.
