Inside Helen Flanagan's emotional birthday party for her youngest daughter

Helen Flanagan has shared her daughter Delilah's special day as she celebrated her third birthday.

Little Delilah was treated to a girly dinosaur theme party with attention to detail including pink dino tails on the seats.

The birthday girl and her big sister Matilda wore matching birthday cake dresses for the occasion as the siblings shared smiles and cuddles.

Mother-of-three Helen, who plays Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, posted pictures of the party on her Instagram.

One family snap captured Helen, her footballer fiance Scott Sinclair and their girls together and she explained that their baby boy Charlie, who they welcomed in March, was napping.

Another picture showed a tearful Delilah appearing to be overcome by the excitement of the day with the caption: "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

Helen, 30, from Bury, Instagrammed a video clip of the birthday girl blowing out the candles on her pretty pink cake.

"Always makes me want to cry when they blow their candles out," Helen wrote.

And she wrote: "No words for how much I love my special pretty little girl Delilah."

The soap star said about the party held at Lotties of Belmont, in the village of Belmont between Bolton and Blackburn: "Thankyou to my lovely friend Jayde @jandjeventplanning for making her small party so lovely x *all social distancing measures were followed throughout Delilah’s birthday at a covid safe venue *"

"The dresses are so cute," commented one follower.

"They legit melt my heart," said another about the siblings.

"Love their wee dresses, beautiful kids," said another.

Helen gave birth to Delilah at the the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Glasgow, where the family lived before Scott joined Preston North End from Scottish club Celtic.

The soap star left the famous Corrie cobbles to go on maternity leave with Delilah.

Helen and Scott got engaged during a family trip to Disneyland Paris in May 2018 and they welcomed Delilah the following month.

Her character Rosie left Weatherfield for a new life after managing to overturn a drug lord in a bust at the Underworld factory.
