Helen Flanagan's curvy love

'Coronation Street' star Helen Flanagan thinks being curvy is "sexy".

The actress - who plays Rosie Webster in the soap - would much rather have curves than be too thin, and thinks it is important to remember she is a role model for her young female viewers.

She said: "I'm naturally slim and a size 10. If I've got a special occasion coming up, I'll cut down and eat healthily, but otherwise I'm happy the size I am. Last year I was a size 8, but I think it's so much sexier to be curvy.

"Size 10 is my comfortable weight. I'm also aware that I have to be responsible. There are young girls watching me and I'd hate it for a girl to think I was skinny on TV and that she wanted to look the same. That's not healthy."

Helen also revealed she prefers showing off her cleavage than her shapely legs.

She added to New! magazine: "I like to dress sexily, but I prefer pencil skirts to short ones. And I think it's nice to show off your cleavage. Women have boobs, and as long as it's done tastefully I think it looks lovely and sexy - it makes you look like a woman, not a boy!"
