Helen Flanagan was the epitome of elegance as she arrived for annual Ladies Day at the Aintree Grand National Festival in Liverpool on Friday. 

The ex Corrie star, 35, was once again dressed to impress for her 'favourite day of the year' as she stepped out just hours after posting snaps of her looks from years gone by. 

Helen caught the eye in a flowing black and white printed dress which featured a plunging neckline and statement bow straps. 

She accessorised with a black hat and heels, pendant earrings and toted her essentials in a £5,000 Chanel handbag. 

On Thursday Helen took to Instagram with snaps of her equally glamorous looks from Ladies Day 2024 and 2025. 

In 2024 the stunner wore a figure-hugging black dress which boasted dramatic ruffled detailing and was worn with a chic hat.

Then last year she commanded attention in a red and pink caped gown which again she teamed with a matching hat and heels.  

Helen gushed: 'So excited for ladies day tomorrow @aintreeracecourse one of my favourite days of the year'.

It comes days after Helen revealed she's living out of a plastic bag days after she revealed a member of staff at a Travelodge threatened to call the police on her.

The TV personality is on the road on a theatre tour, starring as Princess Jill in the Mother Goose Easter Panto.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, she told fans that she is too 'disorganised' for a suitcase as she revealed how she is currently living.

She said: 'I'm in Wales, I've done two shows and am having such a fun time on this tour.

'Organisation is not my strong point – obviously ADHD. But I could not cope with lugging my suitcase around any further, so look at this…'

She turned the camera to show off her makeshift 'luggage' – a white bin bag stuffed with her belongings.

She added: 'I turned up to the theatre with a bag like this. I can't cope with a suitcase any longer!'

It comes just days after Helen criticised hotel chain Travelodge in a series of Instagram posts, claiming a staff member threatened to call the police when she slept past her check out time.

Last Monday night, the tour stopped at Mansfield. After their performance the cast and crew travelled to Northampton where they stayed in a Travelodge, ready for their Tuesday performance in the town.

But Helen took to her Instagram on Tuesday afternoon to complain about her interrupted lie in.

Posting a video from outside the Northampton branch, Helen tagged the hotel chain and wrote 'she was so horrible,' before telling her followers: 'To cut a long story short, on this theatre tour we are staying in these Travelodges. Fine.'

'I got woke up this morning, I'm due on my period and I've not been sleeping properly so I basically went to bed at half one and woke up at 12. I literally woke up to this woman at 12 o'clock banging on my door, telling me to open the door.'

Helen continued: 'I went "oh hi sorry". She said "checkout is at 12". I said "sorry I didn't know, I'll just have a quick shower and go". She said "no you can't have a shower, you need to get out now before I ring the police."'
