Helen Flanagan showcased her jaw-dropping figure in an orange floral bikini as she soaked up the sun during her lavish Barbados getaway on Sunday.

The former Coronation Street star, 32, looked incredible in the eye catching two piece as she posed against a stone wall backdrop.

Showing off her natural beauty, the actress pulled her long blonde locks back in a neat up do as she beamed for the snap.

It comes after Helen was reportedly turned away from a posh Barbados restaurant while on holiday last week for not meeting the dress code.

A fellow tourist claimed to have come to Helen’s rescue after she was told she would not be allowed in the restaurant while wearing only a gold two-piece bikini.

She was said to have been left red-faced after staff at the Kyma coffee shop at the four-star Waves Hotel and Spa asked her to cover up her swimwear before entering with her children.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Helen, who is mother to Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, was given a dress to wear by a sympathetic onlooker.

Another holidaymaker told The Sun: ‘Helen turned up to the Kyma bar with her kids and was enjoying a drink outside. It was seriously hot in the early afternoon and when Helen took her kids indoors to get the air-conditioning, she was told she had to cover up or leave.

‘She looked horrified because all she had on was a bikini and people were staring. My sister had a Skims black dress and lent it to her so she could go in.

‘She was so grateful because it was a little awkward.

They added that, while it’s possible to access the cafe straight from the beach, visitors are required to wear a T-shirt or a kaftan.

The holidaymaker said Helen enjoyed her time with her children at the cafe before returning the dress and the flip flops that were leant to her, with the person describing Helena as a ‘great sport’.

MailOnline contacted a representative for Helen for comment at the time.
