Helen Flanagan has shared an epic throwback post of her time in Coronation Street to celebrate 60 years of the soap.

The TV star, 30, took to her Instagram account on Wednesday to share a string of pictures of herself playing Rosie Webster throughout the years.

She joined Corrie in 2002 when she was just nine-years-old and left in 2012, before returning in 2017 and quitting in 2018 when she fell pregnant.

Her post started with a baby-faced Helen sitting on the iconic cobbles when she first joined the ITV show.

Helen also included pictures of Rosie in her goth phase and snaps of Rosie in her underwear during her sexier scenes.

The final image was Helen when she was pregnant while on set.

She captioned the post: “Happy 60th Birthday @coronationstreet.

“I was lucky enough to grow up in the show.

“Thankyou @coronationstreet for all the opportunities.”

She finished the post with the hastag#Corrie60 and red love heart emojis.

Helen’s followers rushed to comment on the snap.

One posted: “Come back soon Helen, you are sorely missed on the street!”

“Amazing. Loved watching you in Corrie growing up,” another commented.

A third wrote: “Watched you from the beginning. I loved rosie. Please say you’ll come back one day x.”

“Omg wow! I remember you joining the show,” another said.

Last night Corrie aired its explosive 60th anniversary episode, which was an hour long.

Viewers watched in horror as evil Geoff Metcalfe tried to kill his wife Yasmeen Nazir and her granddaughter Alya.

Earlier this week Yasmeen was found not guilty of the attempted murder of her abusive husband Geoff.

Geoff fell off the roof to his death after trying to murder them.
