Celebrity problem: Not being on the telly for a while.

Celebrity solution: Tweet a picture of your arse so no one forgets about you.

You have to admit, it’s pretty flawless logic. Not for us mere mortals with regular-looking arses, i.e. pale, with a wrinkle or ten and a little fuller than usual after the Christmas indulgence, but perhaps when your backside looks like this it’s considered fair enough.

Helen Flanagan, she of the love-or-hate appearance on this year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ is in Ireland at the moment, hanging out with a friend. The former Coronation Street star has shared multiple pics of herself with pal Maddy, but they’re considerably less risqué than the pictures she decided to post yesterday.

Before her jaunt to the Irish capital, Helen spent yesterday morning taking part in a ‘cool, edgy shoot’ with photographer Stacey Clarke in Swansea, and shared the evidence on her Twitter account. In a series of three pictures the actress is first seen lying face down on a bed with her perfectly pert behind elevated, one hand over her eye, (she must be shy). The second is a ‘Calendar Girls’ moment, with a vase of flowers protecting her modesty. Shot in a mirror – obviously this is the ‘arty’ one.  Finally it’s the ‘sad’ snap – we know by the river of black eye make-up trailing down her face. And what do we do when we're sad? That’s right ladies; lay on the ground and pout while wearing nothing but a thong, whiskey glass in hand. Naturally.
