A VERY pregnant Helen Flanagan decided to throw her two kids an early Easter party as she expects to go into labour any day now.
The former Coronation Street actress wanted to celebrate Easter as it was “highly likely this is our last weekend as a family of four”.
The Corrie actress is 38 weeks pregnant[/caption]Helen, 30, is due to give birth to her third child with footballer partner, Scott Sinclair.
She decided to surprise her daughters, Matilda, six, and Delilah, two, with an Easter egg hunt and lavish party.
“Planned this ages ago for my girls as a treat before the baby arrives,” Helen told her fans on Instagram.
“Highly likely this is our last weekend as a family of four. House is only going to get more crazy.”
The star decked out their Manchester home with baskets full of stuffed Easter bunnies and chocolate treats.
She also set up a board that read “Happy Easter Matilda and Delilah. Slumber under.”
Around the board Helen had put up Easter themed bunting and makeshift tee-pee for the girls to hang out in.
A runway of fake grass ran made up the walls of the tee-pee which a yellow bed was placed for the girls to sleep on.

Last week, Helen had wrongly predicted she would go into labour over the weekend, but packed her hospital bag in anticipation of going into labour.
The 30-year-old actress updated fans on the final stages of her pregnancy journey on her Instagram Story.
Sharing a snap of a leather holdall in her home, the star has also enlisted a stylish Dior bag and a fluffy white blanket.

In addition, the soap actress recently discussed her hospital bag essentials in a useful video on IGTV.
As well as baby-related items, Helen noted to take a range makeup and beauty products to help freshen up during labour.
The actress declared her third would be her last baby[/caption]She previously told The Sun that her third pregnancy has been such an ordeal she is refusing to have any more children with husband Scott.
The star suffered from Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), an extreme sickness condition, throughout both of her previous pregnancies – but it was worse than ever this time around.
Helen has had to have spells in hospital because of it, and been left bed-bound and unable to care for her daughters.
She told us in January: “I always really wanted four children, but after the hyperemesis this time, I could never go through it again.
“So the decision about having more children after this one has been taken out of my hands, really.”

HG affects up to 5% of pregnant women, including Kate Middleton who was hospitalised because of it during her first pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the star doesn’t know whether she is having a boy or a girl – and is unbothered either way.
She previously explained: “I would love another girl, I think I’m good with girls because I know what to do! But I would equally love a son because it would be a completely new experience.”
Helen shot to fame when she joined Corrie at the age of nine, playing Rosie Webster from 2000 until 2012.
