Helen Flanagan flashes some side boob in a very daring lace dress as she celebrates her 23rd

For Helen Flanagan's birthday, we wouldn't expect to her to cover up in a modest outfit.
So as she stepped out in Manchester on Saturday night, there was certainly no missing the former soap star in her racy ensemble.
The birthday girl, who turned 23 last Wednesday, showed off some major side boob through the sheer lace panels of her Agent Provocateur Erikka dress.

The ex-Coronation Street actress teamed her tight fitting number with a pair of vertiginous Christian Louboutin heels.
Although her choice of Agent Provocateur design was rather predictable given her penchant for the brand on nights out, Helen earlier admitted she was having a wardrobe crisis.
At 4pm, she revealed she was still trying to find an outfit to wear with her personal stylist Jodie Stringfellow.

She explained: 'If I’m with a boyfriend that I love, then I’ll be naughty and whatever, but that's if I love someone. I think it’s sexy to be a good girl. It’s not sexy for a girl to screw everyone.
'I come from a Catholic family so have been brought up a really good girl but, if you absolutely adore someone you have to have good sex.
'I feel sexiest when I’m confident. I've had a bit of an ego since I was about 16 years old, but I think most girls do.'
