Corrie star has given fans a pregnancy update

| Updated:

Pregnant Helen Flanagan has surprised fans by predicting her second daughter will be around one week overdue.

The Coronation Street actress, who is due next week, told fans on Instagram she has a strong inkling her second child may be a little later than expected.

Alongside a beautiful photo of her in the sunshine, Helen wrote: “Baby girl the size of a watermelon #39weeks x.”

She continued: “I think I’ll be around a week late with my baby girl. I’ve never got to the stage where I’ve felt really fed up of being pregnant with this pregnancy and was so lucky my sickness went towards the end.

“I’ve really enjoyed this pregnancy apart from the first trimester.”

Helen, 27, previously revealed she’d suffered from severe pregnancy sickness hyperemesis gravidarium at the start of the pregnancy; it’s the same condition the Duchess of Cambridge had during her pregnancies.

The soap star concluded her post by saying her hectic work schedule at Corrie prior to maternity leave and looking after her daughter Matilda, two, meant the pregnancy had flown by.

She said: “I’ve been so busy with my Matilda and working that it hasn’t dragged, with Matilda I was so desperate for her to arrive and just really hated being overdue.”

“I’m so excited to meet my baby girl,” she added, “but my baby will arrive when ready and I will be equally in love with both my daughters.”

Helen and her Celtic footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair, 29, revealed in April their second child will be another daughter.
