Helen Flanagan sparks health fears after posting images of scratches on her chest on social media
|
TV babe Helen Flanagan has worried fans after posting a bizarre photograph of her scratched chest on Instagram.
The blonde, 22, left the image along with an unusual message on the social networking site - just days after she split from her footballer lover, Scott Sinclair.
The soap star had been at a beauty salon when she had been embarrassed by her current condition.
Concern? Fans have been anxious for the star after she shared the image, saying she accidentally revealed it to the staff in a beauty salon
'Having my blow dry and really embarrassed by my scratchy chest‚ it was really itchy and it looks like I’ve been mauled by a cat,' she said on Instagram, accompanied with the image.
The photograph shows a number of angry looking scratches across the stars' chest which look quite painful.
She had earlier in the day tweeted about her cat, Felix, saying: 'So sweet that when I woke up little Felix was asking me for hugs so cute.'
She also added the hashtag: '#madethemorningeasier' suggesting she is still struggling with the fall out from her relationship.

Earlier in the day it had been claimed she was planning to get a Scott tattoo on her thigh altered after splitting from boyfriend.
The former Coronation Street star is said to be determined to chance the inking so it's not a constant reminder of her footballer ex, who she is said to have dumped following claims he sent sexy text messages to TV presenter, Donatella Panayiotou.
The inking, which Helen had done on her left inner thigh in 2010, features the name Scott inside a red love heart with wings on either side.

Inking: Helen had the design done in 2010
But a source told The Sun: 'The tattoo will be adapted. It is all part of Helen's healing process.'
A spokesperson for Helen denied the claims.
Last week, the former Coronation Street star was seen leaving the Prestbury home she shared with the footballer following revelations that he had been sending racy messages to the TV star behind her back.
The soap beauty hid her face behind sunglasses as she and her parents carried bags and boxes out of the £2.8million mansion.
Scott is said to have met Donatella in the South of France a couple of weeks ago and allegedly text her, saying: 'U would look so much better with everything off.'
Scott, 24, reportedly admitted the dirty texts and photos were sent from his phone - via the WhatsApp facility, but has been assuring Helen that he did not write them, rather a friend did.

While the couple have been at the centre of numerous break-up rumours over the past few months, a source close to Helen explained she had told the sportsman 'it's over for good this time' before walking out of their home.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Helen had been offered the chance to go to Glastonbury this weekend but following her split from Scott, and the armed robbery at her house earlier this month, decided against the trip.
An insider said: 'Helen had been pretty keen on Glasto but in the end didn’t feel up to it.'
Not up to it: Helen also turned down the chance to go to Glastonbury, according to reports
