Helen Flanagan once said she was too scared to get pregnant because she was frightened her boobs would get so big she’d be unable to walk.

But the star is now just weeks away from her due date and she’s still standing firmly on her feet. Phew!

The actress and her normal-sized boobs celebrated the impending birth of her first child with a summer-themed baby shower today.

She kept the sex of her and boyfriend Scott Sinclair’s baby secret (because she doesn't even know herself) with a gender neutral celebration but couldn’t wait to share a few snaps with fans.

Posting an image on Instagram, the former Coronation Street star thanked her sister for arranging the party, writing: “Thankyou @janeoflan for my amazing baby shower.”

The decorations were coloured yellow and were sprinkled with pictures of bumble bees, and a message in a picture frame in the kitchen read: “Helen’s baby shower. What will it Bee?”

The star has chosen not to find out the sex of her baby but seems to be hoping for a son.

She recently told the Daily Mirror: “I went to see a clairvoyant when I was four months and she said I was going to have a boy. I do talk to my baby like it’s a boy.”

Not long now, Helen!
