Helen Flanagan was cruelly mum-shamed by online trolls after posting an adorable video of herself with young son Charlie.
The 33-year-old shared the video on Instagram on Saturday night, with the footage showing her all glammed up in preparation for her "date night" with her young son. Dressed in a glamorous yellow dress, Helen looked fabulous as she posed with her little boy, who himself was dressed in all black and white Nike trainers.
Helen also posed in a stunning black dress but opted to wear the gold fit while eating dinner with Charlie. The footage showed the Coronation Street star feeding her son spaghetti while sipping on white wine.
"Date night with the only man for me," Helen wrote on Instagram. However, a number of people took to the comments to criticise the mum for her actions. One said: "Poor kid, how much food are you trying to ram in his mouth, give him a chance."
Another said: "Poor kid getting his food rammed in his mouth." A third added: "Blimey, you nearly choked the poor kid!!" And a fourth said: "Why are you ramming so much food into his mouth???"

Helen enjoyed a 'dinner date' with her sonWhile some comments slammed Helen, the majority of the responses were from fans praising the actress. One said: "It’s hard raising three alone but you’re doing great and looking fabulous." Another said: "This is the cutest." A third added: "Best mum, honest and real! Love this."
As well as Charlie, Helen is also mum to Matilda, eight, and Delilah, five, from her relationship with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. Helen was in a relationship with 34-year-old Bristol Rovers winger Scott for 13 years, becoming engaged in May 2018. However, the romance came to an end in October 2022.
Earlier this month Helen shared a cryptic message which some thought hinted at a new romance in her life. The quote said: "2024 is in 4 months. Don't let anybody waste your time. Be intentional about your time and who you spend it with. Get aligned with your goals and be brave enough to make new choices."
