Ex-Celtic WAG Helen Flanagan celebrates daughter's second birthday with cute throwback snap

Ex-Celtic WAG Helen Flanagan has wished her daughter Delilah a happy birthday with an adorable throwback snap which was taken just minutes after she was born.

The Coronation Street actress who is engaged to ex-Hoops man Scott Sinclair, marked her youngest daughter's second birthday with a photo which was taken in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where Helen gave birth to her.

Despite lockdown restrictions still being in place, Helen and Scott still threw Delilah a little birthday bash with a baby shark theme.

The toddler also donned a baby shark outfit and blew out candles on a baby shark cake which was baked by Helen's mum Julie.

Sharing the picture which was taken after Helen gave birth, she wrote: "Happy birthday to our beautiful magical daughter Delilah, love more than words can say."

In 2016, the couple relocated to Scotland with their eldest daughter Matilda after Scott signed a contract with Celtic and Helen has always said Glasgow holds a special place in her heart.

Speaking earlier this year, Helen said: “Glasgow will always have such a special place in my heart. I have the happiest memories of my life so far in Glasgow, Matilda was only one when we moved here and has a Scottish accent... Delilah was born in Glasgow and my wee baby is Scottish and will always be a Glasgow girl I have made life long friends who I care and love so much."

But after Scott signed a new deal with Preston, the couple and their two girls moved back to England.

Helen was in Corrie for 12 years before quitting in 2012 and appearing in I’m a Celeb  the same year.

Having given birth to Matilda in 2015 in Birmingham, where Scott was playing for Aston Villa, she returned to Corrie in 2017 before going on maternity leave in April of the following year.

Recently, Helen was praised online for pledging to ditch  touch-ups  and tweaks to her photos so she can be “a better role model” to her daughters.
