Helen Flanagan put on a leggy display as she starred as the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Liverpool on Friday.

The Coronation Street actress, 35, slipped into a form-fitting gown adorned with crimson, black and gold sequins.

The bodice features a structured sweetheart neckline with piping that accentuates its corseted shape.

A thigh-high slit runs up the front of the skirt, edged with ornate gold appliqué detailing, as she paired the dress with long, opera-length black gloves.

During the performance, Helen could be seen passionately singing and dancing across the stage.

The show runs from December, 12, to December, 28, with tickets to see Helen perform ranging from £28 to £65.

A synopsis for the show reads: ‘Starring Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan as the Wicked Queen, back by popular demand; comedy star Bippo as Muddles; the hilarious Andy Brennan as Dame Dolly; X Factor’s Sean Smith as the Prince; singing sensation Ellis Lloyd as Snow White; and local favourite Rebecca Lake as the Fairy.

‘Come and see the beautiful Snow White and her seven little friends from the Enchanted Forest as they attempt to defeat the evil Wicked Queen, who is overcome with jealousy when her magic mirror declares that Snow White is the fairest in all the land.

‘Will Snow White meet her handsome Prince and live happily ever after? There’s only one way to find out…

‘This magical pantomime features great songs from our live band, dazzling dance routines, stunning scenery, beautiful costumes, and amazing special effects. It will be an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike.’

Helen’s new acting role comes after she said she is ready to make a Coronation Street comeback, seven years on from her soap exit.

She was catapulted to fame for playing Rosie Webster on the cobbles, making her first appearance in 2000.

Helen starred on the soap until 2012, then reprised her role in 2017 where she returned for a year.

Helen, who lives near the Salford, Manchester-based set, told of how the job would be convenient as she co-parents her three children with her ex Scott Sinclair.

In an interview, she revealed: ‘I’d love to go back to Coronation Street, but they just haven’t asked me and I live around the corner, but they just haven’t asked me.’

‘I’d love to, if they asked me. I’d come back, but they obviously haven’t,’ she added to The Sun.

Earlier this year, Helen teased an epic return to the ITV soap and has even hinted at her first storyline.

She explained that being based in Bolton would mean that she would be able to work around her kids – Matilda, nine, Delilah Six, and Charlie, three.

The actress has even thought up a storyline that Rosie could take part in if she did make a comeback.

Helen said: ‘A single mum with a real storyline, with two kids that she dumps with Sally to have her Rovers return play out an iconic barmaid role.’
