The wholesome social media content was offset with something different on Sunday as Helen Flanagan gave Instagram followers an unexpected Easter treat.
Fresh from celebrating the annual holiday with her children, the former Coronation Street actress ditched her breezy floral summer dress and pulled on some racy Playboy Bunny themed lingerie for a new promotional video.
Flanagan, 33, left little to the imagination as she modelled a vibrant range of underwear sets, stockings and fishnet tights from sex toy and lingerie brand Ann Summers.
In keeping with a loosely applied Easter theme, the mother-of-three wore a pair of jaunty pink bunny ears and matching bow tie as she paraded in front of the camera.
Flanagan filmed herself in a series of sultry poses after changing from striking pink lingerie to seductive white while holding a basket of chocolate eggs.

The new post was quite a departure from content shared on the same platform earlier that day, in which the actress sported a conventional floral dress while cradling one of her three children with footballer Scott Sinclair.
Flanagan – best known for her former role as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street – recently revealed she was diagnosed with psychosis after suffering a ‘bad reaction’ to her ADHD medication.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, the mother of three explained she was ’emotionally struggling’ with her split from ex Celtic midfielder Sinclair and the demands of being a working single mother.
‘So basically I really struggled mental health wise December/ January,’ she wrote. ‘I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year.
‘Had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram.’
Flanagan explained that she was feeling extra pressure as she rehearsed for her touring role in a theatrical production of Cluedo 2.
She added: ‘I felt terrible, so I was due my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids.
‘But I had a really bad reaction though to the medication ( an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.’

‘I just love my kids so much x this bad reaction though was a few days before rehearsals were starting and sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it.’
‘I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but i needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents.’
She ended her post by stating: ‘I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now.
‘Therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now… anyway sending love and please be kind.’
