Christine McGuinness has credited a trip to London with Helen Flanagan for helping to improve her social skills.

The mum of three enjoyed spending time with her celeb pals in the city as she went out for a meal with singer and theatre star Duncan James.
Taking to her Instagram story, the Real Housewives of Cheshire star later posted a picture of herself and Coronation Street's Helen cuddling up on a sofa.
Helen wore her blonde locks up as she kept it casual in a pink sweatshirt and matching jogging bottoms.

She struggled to find her room in the hotel (Instagram)She admitted: "So I've just got to London and checked into my hotel and the lady on reception gave me a keycard and told me what floor I was on but didn't say what room.
"I'd already got in the lift and gone up to the floor and thought, 'I'm not going back down now' so I just walked around the floor, checking every single door with my key card until one opened like a proper lazy b***h."
Christine added: "With one of the rooms, I put my key in the door and obviously there was a fella in there who heard me trying to open his door.
"He came out and was like, 'Do you want me to help you find your room?' I'm fine now - I'm in!"
