Coronation Street actress Flanagan in photo controversy
Former Coronation Street actress, and recent resident of the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Helen Flanagan has been accused of being insensitive after posting a photo of herself holding a gun days after 20 children were shot dead in America.
The Sun reports that news of the image has even reached parents of the victims. ‘One angry dad, speaking at a shrine to the victims’ reportedly told the tabloid paper:
“It’s just ignorant. When the eyes of the world are on what happened here, to be posing with a gun like that is insensitive and stupid.”
The 20 children and six school staff were murdered on Friday, with Flanagan, allegedly, posting the photo on Twitter on Monday. The image shows the 22-year-old holding a pistol to her head while attempting a ‘sexy pose’ in a black lacy bra.
The Sun suggests the photograph upload was a deliberate attempt at publicity. They note ‘Helen first posted the snap, from a series of lingerie photos, in October… But she decided to publish it again on Monday.’
“It looks like she is just trying to get her name out there.” The paper reports one of Newtown’s residents saying of the image.
The photo has since been removed from Twitter.
HELEN FLANAGAN what a stupid girl this witch has no sense to put a gun to her head after those children and teacher were murdered in the usa. IN corrie she was a stupid cow and she is no better in real life ill never forgive her the sooner we see the back of her and she never appears on british television the better.
