Overview

  • On Sunday, the 35-year-old shared Instagram Stories showing a silver sequin suit with a Prada bralette for Manchester Pride and said she expected “nasty” comments about her cleavage.
  • She addressed remarks telling her to cover up and claiming her children would be ashamed, responding that it is her body and that motherhood does not require hiding it.
  • Flanagan said she breastfed her three children for about three years in total and later chose implants to restore shape, noting she previously had naturally large breasts.
  • She urged followers to be kind, saying she teaches her children not to drag other women down and rejects the idea that dressing sexy makes someone a bad parent.
  • Alongside the posts, she highlighted everyday parenting—sharing a video calming her young son that drew praise from fans—and she is currently modeling a Niki Intimates lingerie collection she helped develop.
