Helen Flanagan has hit out at critics after being shamed for enjoying a night out with her partner and his 14-year-old daughter.
The ex-Coronation Street star, 34, was seen partying at the launch of Kyma Nightclub in Crosby with her former footballer Robbie Talbot and his daughter Sophie.
After sharing a picture of the two glammed up, Flanagan was met with criticism online, with some questioning her parenting as her own children were not present.

Helen shared a post by Mancunian actor Mark Massett, which showed him wearing a blonde wig and hiding in the toilet to have a cigarette and a glass of wine, with the appropriate caption being âMums when itâs Half Termâ.
Fans of the television personality were quick to jump to her defence, with one writing “No, she left them alone. Jesus, mums arenât allowed a night out!”
Others pointed out the sexist nature of the criticism, with one asking “Would you say the same thing to a father? Get a grip.”
Another commented: “Are you saying once a woman has children she can never leave the house?”
Flanagan, who shares three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, started dating the footballer last year.
Helen faced more criticism last year when she revealed she had a secret boyfriend, despite starring in the Channel 4 show Celebs Go Dating.

The couple then went public with the relationship, sharing to followers that they were jetting off to Spain.
Helen appeared on the show following the breakdown of her decade-long relationship with Sinclair, encountering a brief romance with boxer David Haye before settling down with Talbot.
She appeared to not let the recent comments get to her, sharing a picture and thanking the nightclub for the invitation, with followers in the comments calling her and Sophie “absolutely stunning” and “gorgeous.”
