Now we must say, we think she looks fab with her choppy, layered bob, but it seems the transformation was quite a big step for Helen. Not only did she post some snaps of the new do, she also wrote an Instagram caption essay on her decision.

And, ultimately, it was all down to ‘mummy prep’ (or Helen not wanting the baby barfing in her expensive hair extensions).

Wise thinking, Hel.

“With my baby coming in June I won't really have time to have my extensions blow dried often (which can take a good hour),” Helen, 24, explained.

“Plus I find extensions hard to blow dry myself (to look nice) as it's just so much hair. I'm sure if I kept them in, I would end up with baby sick in them anyway…”

Helen admitted she did have some clip in hair pieces though. Just for emergencies you, and for looking ‘glam’…

This will be the former Coronation Street actress’ first baby. On finding out the happy news, Helen was overjoyed, saying: “I'm so, so happy. I can't wait to have my baby.

“A mum really is everything I've genuinely wanted to be. I think it's the best thing you can be.

“We [Helen and her boyfriend Scott Sinclair] both feel ready to be parents now and we're both over the moon to be sharing our first much longed-for child together.
