Helen Flanagan, 32, was slammed after sharing how her son Charlie’s tantrums were “off the scale” as she attempted to take photos with the two-year-old.
It wasn’t long before her 1 million followers weighed in with their opinion on her parenting skills and some did not hold back with their criticism.
Helen shared a collage of photos of her attempting to engage the two-year-old she shares with ex Scott Sinclair, as he appeared displeased with the situation.
In her caption, the former Coronation Street actress typed: “Charlie’s tantrums today were off the scale. Trying to get pictures with my two-year-old.”
One follower claimed it was because the mum-of-three was “overbearing” and “in their face all the time”.
They typed: “You’re why he has tantrums Helen the same as Delilah has tantrums.
“You are so overbearing and in their face all the time. I bet they don’t have tantrums like that when they’re with Scott and his mum?
“You said before that Delilah won’t you out of her sight and has to sleep with you. What tripe…what did she do on holiday with Scott when you weren’t there?(sic)
“You are using your kids to cover up your own insecurities and making them want you constantly and turning them into needy brats.

“You will regret your parenting style when they’re older,” they added.
Helen shared the comment on her stories and defended herself.
The I’m A Celebrity star said: “Very strange some comments on Instagram.
“As a mum I want my kids to feel really loved and happy and safe.
“I’m affectionate and I co-sleep because that’s how Delilah is happier and I don’t want her to cry.
“She will grow out of it.”
Helen was also hitting back at another commenter, who claimed she talked to her children “like puppies”.
They typed: “Why do you constantly ask your kids for kiss after kiss….like it’s not normal plus the way you talk to them is like you are talking to puppies.
“You need to act like their mum…they need tough love and discipline.”
