  WHY WE LOVE HELEN FLANAGAN

  Helen Flanagan shot to fame playing Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, a character who went from cheeky wee poppet to mopey teenage goth to racy wannabe-WAG – seemingly in the blink of an eye. Except it didn’t really happen in the blink of an eye; Rosie’s butterfly-to-caterpillar-to-sexy-butterfly transformation actually took 12 long years to unfold, so it was perfectly understandable that Helen decided she wanted to take a break from playing the character in 2012. If we’d been pretending to be someone else every day for 12 years straight, we’d probably have some kind of melty-brained breakdown.
