Cutting loose? Stressed Helen Flanagan steps out in Mayfair after fleeing Coronation Street set in tears over the weekend

By Holly Thomas


After a stressful day at work, sometimes all a girl needs is a romantic evening out to feel better.

And it seems this is exactly what was on the cards for Coronations Street's Helen Flanagan last night.

The 21-year-old fled the Corrie set in tears while filming a semi-naked modelling scene over the weekend.

According to The Sunday Mirror, a Corrie source said that Helen, who plays local minx Rosie Webster in the soap, was being filmed from behind for a scene which involved her posing for a model agent.

The insider told The Sunday Mirror: 'The scene was filmed from behind to give the impression she might be topless.'

'There were quite a few people on set and it all got a bit much for her. Something upset Helen and she ran out in tears shouting that she couldn’t do the scene.'

There have been signs that work pressures are taking their toll on the star.
Helen recently tweeted: 'I miss my mum - been so busy with work.'

When a follower challenged her claims of being 'busy', Helen replied: 'Lol 8-8 filming days are.'

No wonder she was in need of a relaxing night.

Helen has clearly been showing the strain on the Corrie set, as the insider confirmed: 'She has been working really hard recently and may have been on edge because of all the filming.'

Helen's outfit choice for Sunday night's date was certainly an unusually conservative one for the star, who is known for her saucy ensembles.

The modest high-necked black blouse and skirt indicated that Helen, who was nominated in the Sexiest Females category in the 2011 Soap Awards, wasn't in the mood to draw too much attention to herself.

Let's hope that boyfriend Scott was able to cheer her up a little.
