Helen Flanagan fans jump to her defence after she's 'shamed' for underwear display amid home disaster

Helen Flanagan has been defended by fans after being 'shamed' for posting content to social media. The actress wore delicate red lace lingerie for a video, which she shared with her Instagram followers.

Helen, 33, was seen striking a series of pose on her bedroom floor as she sported a red lace bra and matching knickers and black stockings to finish off the look as part of a partnership with Ann Summers.

She added extra glam with matching red lipstick and let her blonde locks cascade around her face in glamorous waves. The rest was pulled up into a stylish updo.
