She made her name strutting the cobbles of Coronation Street as Rosie Webster, but actress Helen Flanagan is a long way from rainy Manchester in these stunning shots of her taken against an exotic beach backdrop.

The 21-year-old treated her Twitter followers to a black and white image of her posing provocatively on the sand as waves crash in the background, accompanied by the words: 'I love drama'.

In the series of pictures Helen - well known for her love of low-cut dresses - shows off her ample curves to eye-popping effect in a clinging black maxi.

Seductive: The actress tweeted this glamorous shot with the caption 'I LOVE DRAMA'

Colour photos revealed the actress's peroxide blonde mane, which had been scraped back into a severe ponytail.

Dramatic red lipstick completed her sultry look.

In one of the pictures Helen has swapped her black dress for a pastel number, which she has allowed to slip off her shoulder showing off plenty of bare skin.

With her hair again swept up into a ponytail, the former Coronation Street star almost resembles a 1980s Madonna in the colourful snap.
