The newly-single and self-proclaimed 'sexy boss b**ch' recently found herself at the centre of a barrage of abuse from trolls, slamming her for sharing such revealing pictures considering she's got three children.
"Please put your kids first, it's embarrassing for them," one wrote.
Meanwhile, a second snapped: "Do us a favour - put some clothes on.'
But now, the Coronation Street and Celebs Go Dating star who recently split from her boyfriend, former non-league footballer Robbie Talbot, 45, after a year together, has fired back at those who criticised her.
Posting on Instagram, the blonde-haired beauty filmed herself wearing a stunning black underwear set from Nikki Intimates Lingerie.
In the short clip, viewers saw Helen, who has previously been labelled as 'trashy' by mum-shamers, confidently pose for the camera, before flashing a cheesy grin.
Moments later, the influencer burst into fights of laughter, clearly unbothered by the cruel comments on her social media posts.
Proudly showing off her enviable figure and £5k boob job which she had in January 2023, Helen then revealed the things she is 'not falling for', including 'coffee over matcha' and 'dieting.'
Not only does Helen not believe in 'living with regret', but she also claimed that she wouldn't fall for 'not using [her] voice.'
Eager to silence the trolls, Helen, who previously confessed that her kids go to bed at midnight and admitted she is always late for school, repeated herself as she wrote: 'Mum shaming and not dad shaming.

'Caring what people think.
'Shaming women and not shaming men.
'Mum shaming.'
She also claimed that she won't ever 'suppress' her ADHD, which she described as 'a fun vibe and never a dull moment.'
Not only this, but she even poked fun at her ex-partners, as stressed she won't fall for 'hoping [people] change as they never do.'
