Helen Flanagan has revealed she’ll be filming her final Corrie scenes this month before starting her maternity leave.
The 27-year-old, who is seven months pregnant, told her Instagram followers that she’ll “definitely” return to Weatherfield after having her second baby, she’s just not sure when.
Sharing a picture of herself onset with her on-screen mum, played by Sally Dynevor, she wrote: “Love this pic we took the other day on set, love this lady.
“My last month @coronationstreet before my maternity leave going to miss everyone so much especially my screen mum and sister @brookelevivincent.”
She added: “Definitely want to return as Rosie just not sure when that will be.”
In the picture, which quickly gained thousands of likes, Helen cradles her baby bump in a black vest as the pair pose in the fictional family kitchen.
Hundreds of fans commented on the snap to wish Helen well.
“Good luck with the birth,” one said. Another wrote: “Aw you’ll be missed on screen! Enjoy your maternity leave,” adding, “You’re absolutely glowing btw.”

Others hoped she wouldn’t be off their screens for too long and urged her to come back soon.
“Hope you’re not gone for too long, you bring much needed humour to the show!” one said.
Another agreed writing: “Gonna miss you so much, I love Rosie. Make sure you do come back, you’re fab.”
A third said: “Look forward to your character returning to the streets. All the best with your new bundle of joy.”
“Really hope you come back you are brilliant as Rosie,” added a fourth.
Helen and footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair announced their second pregnancy back in December and the soap actress admitted it was a bit of a surprise to discover she was expecting again.
“I was very happy, but I was a bit taken aback as this baby wasn’t in the plan. I knew I would feel a lot better once I’d told Scott,” she told OK! magazine.
She added: “I did three more tests just to make sure it was correct!”
Helen and Scott already have a daughter, Matilda, born in 2015.
Helen recently admitted on Instagram that she’s really struggled with nausea during her first trimester and asked her followers for their tips on dealing with it.
“It’s nice to get other tips of other women with pregnancy sickness as you feel less on your own with it,” she wrote.
She added: “This is really not a moaning post at all I know how very lucky I am to be pregnant just posting about my pregnancy sickness for other pregnant women to relate to.”
