Helen Flanagan debates image change on maternity leave

Blonde or brunette?

Pregnant Helen Flanagan has revealed she’s debating an image change while she’s on maternity leave from Coronation Street.

The soap star – who plays Rosie Webster – is taking a break from our screens as she prepares to give birth to her second child.

And, as could be a while before Rosie is back in Weatherfield, it’s the perfect opportunity for Helen to experiment with her appearance!

Helen, 27, is currently blonde, just like Rosie, but she told fans on Instagram she’s mulling over a return to the dark brown locks she sported in the past.

She said: “Can never decide which hair colour I prefer: blonde or brunette?

“Really thinking of going back dark now I’m on maternity leave from playing Rosie.”

Of course, the star’s fans piled in to offer their opinions and, well, it was completely split!

While plenty of fans begged Helen to keep her blonde locks, others told her to go back to brunette while she had the chance.

Others told Helen that she’d look whatever hair colour she is!

Other fans, meanwhile, had the perfect solution – just do both!

Helen is expecting her second child with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair in the next few weeks.

The couple, who have been together for nearly a decade, already have daughter Matilda, two.

They announced last month their second child will also be a girl.

She told OK! magazine: “We would have been thrilled if it was a girl or a boy, I’m just lucky to be able to have a baby. I will love this baby just as much as I do Matilda.”

Helen filmed her final Coronation Street scenes in April before taking maternity leave, and has promised Rosie will go out in style!

“I’m going out in very much a Rosie style – the storyline is hilarious,” she told Loose Women, adding: “I have enjoyed that about my character, doing comedy has been great.”

She’s also insisted Rosie will be back, but hasn’t given a timeline for her return.

Helen quit Corrie in 2011 but returned last year.

She said recently of her second baby: “It was a surprise – I’d just gone back to Coronation Street and I was really enjoying that, but obviously it’s a blessing and I feel really lucky to be expecting another baby, but it wasn’t in the plan.”
