‘A real girl’ fans gush as giggling Helen Flanagan pulls out hair extensions & fake lashes in front of stunned boyfriend
HELEN Flanagan has been praised as “real” after revealing she’s hit a new milestone with boyfriend Robbie Talbot in a recent video.
The 34-year-old took to TikTok to share a clip showing off her taking out multiple sets of hair extensions after a night out while her stunned footballer beau watched on.
Actress Helen giggled into the camera while pulling clumps of the fake hair from her head, dressed in a black tracksuit.
Off screen, 44-year-old Robbie joked: “What’s that? You’ve ripped a cat out of your head. What the f***?
“Are you messing? Are you even a girl?
“So hang on, you’ve got fake hair, fake eyelashes. F***ing hell. “
But the former Coronation Street star just laughed as she continued her bedtime ‘glow down’ and admitted her eyelashes are also false.
“I’m still going. I’m still going with that [removing my extensions].
“I don’t have much hair. Stop being mean to me”, she chuckled.
It’s no secret that many women, despite how bad it is for your skin, go to bed in their makeup to impress new partners.
Just like Kristen Wiig’s character in Bridesmaids, they may also sneak into the bathroom in the morning to apply more makeup for a glowy ‘I woke up like this’ look.
Others are guilty of keeping their hair extensions, false eyelashes, Botox or fillers under wraps from their other half.
It’s only when a relationship starts to feel more solid that the real-life filters are removed.
So Helen’s honest video seems to be a clear sign that the loved-up couple are very comfortable with each other and happy to bare their true selves.
And fans have rushed to compliment her for being so natural and authentic, with her clip racking up more than 382,000 views.
“You’re like a breath of fresh air, love it”, one person gushed.
A second wrote: “Love this. Real girl.”
“Keeping it real”, echoed a third.
A fourth insisted: “Still pretty naturally.”
A fifth added: “So funny, at least she shares it with the world.”
Meanwhile, a sixth chimed in: “Fake hair and lashes but a genuine heart.”
Helen – who shares three children with ex-fiance Scott Sinclair, who played for Celtic – met Robbie back in February.
After his shock appearance with her on Celebs Go Dating, she revealed they’ve already spoken about having kids.
She told OK! Magazine: “I’m always broody.
“But my pregnancies have always been hard. I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum, so I get really terrible sickness. But still, I can’t help but be broody. I love babies.”
Robbie added: “There’s a 10-year age gap between us, but I wouldn’t rule it out.
“Not right now, maybe in the future.”
Robbie has two children from a previous relationship, and Helen added: “Robbie has his kids four times a week, which for me is a huge green flag.
“He’s a great daddy. And our kids all get along so well.”
