Wearing her golden tresses in a high ponytail with tendrils framing her face, the actress highlighted her good looks with a palette of makeup that included bold red lipstick, blush and mascara. 

Hours earlier, she revealed that her third child will ‘definitely be [her] last baby’ as she opened up on the imminent birth during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine.

The star told host Lorraine Kelly that she doesn’t plan to add to her brood, with the star already mum to Matilda, five, and Delilah, two.

Discussing her pregnancy with Lorraine, 61, Helen explained that she wants the gender of her child to be a ‘surprise’, before adding that the tot will be her last pregnancy.

She said: ‘I just really wanted a surprise to be honest with you, I could see myself with three girls though, I could definitely see myself with three girls. This is definitely my last baby, I tell you.’

When asked how her pregnancy is going, the actress replied: ‘I’m really good, I’m in my third trimester now I’m 28 weeks.

‘My first trimester was awful but now I’m in my third trimester I feel good.’ 

Touching on her illness in her first trimester, in which she suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, she added: ‘it wasn’t nice but I feel really lucky to be expecting my third.’

The soap star also touched on her time on Coronation Street and admitted she wouldn’t rule out a return to the cobbles.

She told Lorraine: ‘I honestly miss Corrie so much, I miss everything about it, I miss the excitement of filming, I miss Sally [Dynevor, who played her on-screen mum], I miss everything about it and I really want to go back when the time is right. 

‘Especially after having a baby if you can you want to spend time at home with the baby, but I want to go back so bad.’

Just last month, Helen reiterated her vow that her current, and third, pregnancy will be ‘her last’ as it feels ‘right’ for her. 

The actress took to Instagram to share snaps from a stylish photo shoot with lingerie brand Pour Moi where she cradled her baby bump, as she told her fans she hasn’t ‘felt like herself’ during her third pregnancy.

Reflecting on her pregnancy in a lengthy caption, Helen wrote: ‘Finally in my third trimester. 7 months now. 

‘I’ve definitely found this pregnancy a challenge after having a hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy and I’ve not really felt like myself since I fell pregnant I still have nausea most days but just grateful that I don’t have hyperemesis gravidarum anymore and can be a mum to the girls and get about doing things.

‘I do feel anxious about my labour. I’ve always had a bit of a fear about giving birth and I have been scared before each labour though I’ve been really lucky to have two really good positive labours. 

‘Midwives are just amazing. I’m trying a hypnotherapy course this time round. For me I work myself up in my head which is way worse than the actual labour.’

Helen went on to detail how she’s struggled with back pain while pregnant, so much so it’s made it hard for her to juggle her daughters Matilda and Delilah, and fiancé Scott helps with bath time and putting them to bed.

She continued: ‘I genuinely would love a girl or a boy. I’d love to have three girls and sisters together, a girl gang and i would equally adore to have a little boy a son as it’s a totally new experience.

‘I just feel lucky to carry with other women close to me not having such an easy time. 

‘This is definitely my last pregnancy. I had Matilda at 24 and I wanted my children close together and it just feels right for me. 

‘I would never want to go through the hyperemesis again, it wouldn’t be fair on the children I already have and I want to give each child as much attention as each other. 

‘I thought I’d feel sad if I knew I was carrying my last but the hyperemis has been a blessing as it’s took that away.’

Helen told her followers she will be going to hospital when she goes into labour despite considering a home birth, as she claimed she’d feel ‘calmer’ in a hospital. 

The soap star has been suffering from hyperemesis – a pregnancy complication characterised by nausea, vomiting, dehydration and weight loss. The media personality admitted she wants to ‘eat all the time’ to make herself feel better.
