Helen Flanagan recently used Instagram to reveal that she still fits into a daring outfit from over a decade ago. the 35-year-old former actress wore the garment during a solo vacation to Mykonos, Greece.

The Agent Provocateur dress that won FHM's 2013 British title

The outfit in question is a plunging, fringed black number from Agent Provocateur that Helen Flanagan originally wore 13 years ago . According to the report, the dress was first seen on the red carpet at the FHM 100 Sexiest Women party held at London's Sanderson Hotel in May 2013. At that event, the then 22-year-old Flanagan was named the Sexiest British Woman, surpassing other nominees such as Kelly Brook , Michelle Keegan, Emily Atack, and Cheryl.

Beyond the national title, the source notes that Helen Flanagan placed third in the global poll, trailing only behind Rihanna and the overall winner, Mila Kunis. After discovering the dress again while moving house, Flanagan shared a side-by-side comparison on social media, jokingly describing herself as being "like a fine wine."

A solo Mykonos getaway to find "me back"

The recet trip to the Greek island of Mykonos served as a period of personal reclamation for the former soap star. As reported by the source,Flanagan expressed a sense of renewal, captioning one of her holiday photos with the phrase, "Feel like I've got me back." Her social media updates included images of her in a low-cut corset dress and a busty display featuring an animal print bikini worn beneath the vintage Agent Provocateur piece.

While the holiday provided a necessary break, Flanagan remained connected to her family via technology. She shared a FaceTime call with her five-year-old son, Charlie, indicating that despite the solo nature of the trip, her role as a mother remains central to her identity.

How Julia Flanagan manages the schedules of three children

The glamour of the Mykonos trip stands in contrast to the domestic realities Flanagan discussed on the Vanessa Feltz show. Helen Flanagan, who shares children Matilda (10), Delilah (7), and Charlie (5) with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair, admitted that she relies heavily on her mother, Julia, to maintain their daily routine. Flanagan stated that her mother effectively runs the children's schedules, including managing their homework via a class social app and overseeing extracurricular activities like football.

The division of labor in the household is stark, with Flanagan acknowledging that Julia handles the cooking,the laundry, and the school uniforms. The former actress noted that she would "die without her" mother's assistance, citing her own heavy work commitments as the primary reason for this arrangement.

From Coronation Street to a four-episode stint on Celebrity Ex On The Beach

The professional demands mentioned by Flanagan include a recent foray into reality television. The former Coronation Street actress appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach, which aired in April. However, her time on the program was short-lived; she was voted off the show after only four episodes following a decision by her fellow contestants to send her home.

This cycle of high-profile public appearances and private domestic struggles highlights the balancing act Flanagan maintains. By blending throwback glamour with candid admissions about her reliance on parental help, she presents a version of celebrity motherhood that is as much about support systems as it is about style.
