Helen, 32, has shared a flurry of sexy bikini posts, poolside snaps from beach clubs and photos of her looking glam on a nights out.

While many fans have praised the star for letting her hair down, others have slammed her for partying in Ibiza without her kids.

One follower wrote: “You need to spend more time with your kids.”

Helen shared the comment on her Instagram Story and hit back: “I have never been on a girls holiday like that before as I’ve always stayed at home looking after the kids.

“Why is everything always on women?”

Helen’s fans were quick to support her, with writing: “She is allowed a few days off.”

Another said: “She’s always got her children. Why are mums not allowed to have a life. She’s more than just a mum, she’s her own person too. I thin people forget just because a woman has children, doesn’t mean her life has to stop.”

The I’m A Celeb star recently admitted that she was desperate for some “adult time” as she adjusts to being a single mum, following her split from Bristol Rovers footballer Scott, 34.

The star has been letting her hair down during her sun-soaked getaway with pals.

Last week she showcased her incredible figure in a barely there pink bikini, before slipping into a silver halterneck crop top and matching skirt for a night out.

Before jetting off on holiday, Helen opened up about the struggles of being a single mum.

“I fell asleep with the girls last night – Delilah does this thing where she will not go to sleep without me, not a chance, she screams and screams,” Helen said.

“I’m going to try and get them in a different routine.

“Usually what I do is try and get them to sleep and when she’s asleep I try and sneak out of the room.

“I didn’t, I fell asleep in my contact lenses.”

She went on: “I need my own adult time – even if it’s just watching something I want to watch or I can speak to my friends.

“I just need that switch off.”

The I’m A Celeb star recently opened up to The Sun about co-parenting, saying it’s “pretty drama-free”.

Helen, who shot to fame on Coronation Street, said: “I co-parent with Scott. We were together for a long time. So he lives with his mum in Bristol and I live in Manchester with the kids. I get on really well with Scott’s mum.

“I was with Scott aged 19-31, so that’s why I get on so well with his mum. So honestly it makes my life so easy because we hang out together. It’s really nice. It’s pretty drama free as I get on really well with her.

“The kids see their dad all the time, they see their nana a lot. We’re always in Birmingham a lot to meet with the kids half way.

“The kids have an amazing time when they are with me too. I have a friend that helps me, because obviously I work as well. I work nearly every day so I do have a friend that comes to help me because well, I’m not a superwoman.”
