HELEN Flanagan told her kids she had a boob job after coming home from surgery.
The Coronation Street star underwent surgery earlier this month in a bid to boost her confidence after her split from Scott Sinclair.
Helen, 32, opened up about her secret boob job on Instagram when asked how she approached the subject with her kids.
One fan wanted to know: "Will you tell your girls? Like how will you explain it to them? x"
And the star wrote back: "I was just honest with them and didn’t make a big deal of it.

"Matilda is just an angel and just no bother at all.
"Delilah is only four and as soon as she came home she was so excited to see me she head-butted me by accident!
"I just said mummy had a little op so I can’t carry you or Charlie. Delilah still will be carried!"
The former Rosie Webster actress decided to have an uplift to improve her confidence, but wanted to make it clear that she "loved" her breastfeeding journeys.
Helen said: "I like to share my life on here, I like to be as honest as I can I was nervous because people can be unkind.
"I'm very much for you know, supporting other women in the choices that they decide to do and supporting other women.
"I feel passionately about breastfeeding, I don't regret breast feeding at all.
"I would always do it again and I love that. I just wanted to be honest about my experiences because other women might be able to relate to me."
Helen shares her three kids Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and 18-month-old Charlie with ex fiancé Scott Sinclair.
Helen called time on her 13-year relationship with Scott last October.
