SOFT SOAPS AND SADNESS AS HELEN’S GRANNY DIES

Helen Flanagan has written a tribute to her grandmother after she died earlier this week.

The Coronation Street star, aged 31, shared photos of her ‘Nanna Nancy’, who was in her 90s, to Instagram.

Helen – mum to Matilda, aged six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 13 months – ‘My Nanna passed away this week. I loved and love my Nanna so much. She was an amazing lady and I am proud to be Nancy’s granddaughter.

‘I am so grateful for the precious times we shared and that my Nanna got to see all three of my beautiful children that my Nanna loved so much and gave her so much joy.

I have the best childhood memories, holiday memories and memories with my babies with my Nanna that I am so grateful for. I wish I could see and give her one last cuddle and tell her how much I loved her but I think she knew x’

Her friends and fans were quick to rush to her support and shared kind messages alongside her Instagram post.

Michelle Keegan wrote: ‘So sorry for your loss Hels.’

Sally Dynevor commented: ‘Oh Helen I’m so sorry. Love to you and the family xxxxx’

Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn added: ‘Sending so much love my darling.’

Helen is from Bury, Manchester, originally but now lives in Prestbury with  Preston North End winger Scott Sinclair
