Another shot saw her basking in the sun's rays in a see-through set, while in a third picture her Marilyn Monroe arm tattoo was visible as she lounged on the lawn.

The fourth and final shot saw Helen back inside modelling more Nikki Intimates stockings and suspenders.

Helen captioned her post: "Still totally obsessed with my collection with @nikkiintimates. Love how feminine, confident and gorgeous these sets make me feel. Hope you’re all loving them as much as I do!"

One follower commented: "Absolutely incredible Helen."

Another said: "Looks like your confidence has returned."

A third posted: "What can possibly be said apart from WOW."

Though she's inundated with compliments and looks catalogue perfect, Helen recently opened up about her lack of confidence.

“My weight all kind of depends on my love life and how stressed I am,” the former Coronation Street star said.

She continued: “Even though sometimes you don’t feel so confident or toned, just go for it.

“Even though I’ve got cellulite and my body isn’t as toned as it used to be, I just thought ‘you know what Helen go for it,’ you only live once.”

Mum-of-three Helen recently jetted to Ibiza with pals to enjoy a day of partying at Wayne Lineker's famed O Beach club.

She looked happy despite her recent split from boyfriend, Robbie Talbot, 45.

A source said of their separation: “They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.

"She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ‘This isn’t working’. It was a grown-up chat.

“She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.”
