Helen Flanagan pregnant with her first child

Helen Flanagan once said she’d be too frightened to get pregnant as she thought her boobs would grow so big she’d be unable to walk.

But it seems she’s now able to put those worries behind her as she’s expecting her first child and word has it she can still actually walk just fine.

The former Coronation Street actress and her Manchester City footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair will welcome their little bundle of joy in June.

Helen tweeted: "Me and Scott are expecting our first baby in the summer. We are both so happy and so excited xxx."

A pal told The Sun: “It’s a much-wanted pregnancy which makes it all the sweeter. Helen is so thrilled. She was bursting with excitement.”

The star has been proudly showing off her bump in a bikini while on holiday in Dubai with a friend but it hasn’t been too smooth for Helen so far as she’s suffering from terrible morning sickness.

Another friend said: “It hasn’t been easy for Helen. She’s been feeling poorly.

“She has complained on Twitter about feeling under the weather – but did not reveal why.”

Hels has said she wants up to four children with Scott and would love to adopt more after that.

Congratulations!
