Helen Flanagan slipped into a floral bikini as she celebrated turning 36 in Lake Como over the weekend.
The actress shared an insight into her trip after she jetted abroad with her daughter Delilah, eight.
Showing off her curves in the halterneck two-piece, Helen appeared to be having the time of her life as they headed out on a boat trip and went for a swim in a lake.
She declared: 'I don't need a man' as she celebrated her birthday with Delilah.
Helen split from professional footballer Scott in 2022 after 13 years together and had a brief romance with Robbie Talbot, 45, but they broke-up in the summer of 2025.
The soap star hit back at one troll who criticised her for only bringing Delilah on holiday and not her two other children Matilda, 11, and Charlie, five.

The soap star hit back at one troll who criticised her for only bringing Delilah on holiday and not her two other children Matilda, 11, and Charlie, five.
The troll had commented under a post of Helen watching the swans with Delilah: 'Sharing your birthday with only one of your children. This is very sad!'
Helen hit back: 'I don’t think so…. I went to Positano with my eldest daughter last year and I think one to one time with each child is precious. As a single parent taking 3 children on your own abroad is hard work. What I do think is sad is as women and mothers how we can’t show kindness, support and understanding.'
Helen has been single for the past year and recently reflected on being alone as she posted a series of candid thoughts on Instagram.
She wrote on her Story last week: 'The only time I miss having a boyfriend is when I don't have my kids. I am more of a relationship girl.
'I turn 36 next week and I've done a whole year of being single. I don't think it's a bad thing to be this way I think it's only natural to want connection.
'I don't want to settle though unless it's right so if it's not I'd rather be on my own.'
She added in another slide: 'I'm not someone who really likes being on their own in general and that's ok. If I'm not with my kids I like to be with my close friends or my family.'
'I'm quite up and down with my mood. I am either super happy and fun or not great at all.'

Earlier this month, Helen said that she's struggling with being out of work and has been left feeling 'unsure' of herself after being forced to move out of her family home.
The star recently sold the home she shared with her ex Scott and is now trying to figure out her next move.
The Daily Mail revealed that the Lancashire property eventually sold for £945,000 after it was originally put up for sale for £1.5million.
