Corrie's Helen Flanagan flashes a rare glimpse of what she really looks like under her make-up

She very rarely steps out in public without a full face of make-up and immaculate hair.

But today the world got a glimpse of the actress looking fresh-faced and a little blotchy before she went for a make-over.

The Coronation Street star was snapped having her make-up done at the Selfridges department store in Manchester.

The 20-year-old sat patiently as eyeshadow was swept across her eyes, before peering into the mirror and pulling her hairline back as she checked out her peepers.

Satisfied with her quick fix, she left the store with a small bag in hand and promptly bumped into an over-enthusiastic busker who serenaded her as she walked down the street.

Her fresh-faced look was certainly a far cry from the one she sported at the airport on Saturday.

Now promoted to a fully-fleged top flight WAG, she stepped out in her towering heels and designer luggage as she jetted off to Ireland.

The Coronation Street star, who is dating Scott Sinclair, looked every inch the footballer's lady as she arrived in her shiny Black Range Rover at Manchester airport on Saturday.

As she parked her 4X4, she smiled at the cameras as she made her way inside the terminal.

And she looked very chic in black leggings, studded knee-high black boots with killer heels and a poncho.

She carried a Louise Vuitton holdall and had a big white bag from department store Harvey Nichols on her other shoulder as she tottered in to catch her flight to Dublin.

It was unclear why Helen, 20, who is currently on a three-month break from the show, was jetting off to Ireland but her boyfriend was never far from her mind.

The following day she took to her Twitter page to show her support for the 22-year-old winger in the Under-21 European Championships against Czech Republic on Sunday.

Is that from Scott? Helen couldn't stop smiling as she read a text message on her phone

She wrote: 'Match time! Excited for my @Scotty_Sinclair  who will be amazing as usual.'

Then she made a joke about the team singing the national anthem before kick-off and said: 'Well done boys sing ur hearts out! Toooo funny especially the one at the end out of tune much bless him.'

Unfortunately for Sinclair and the rest of the team, their European Championships dream was over after they were beaten 2-1 and knocked out of the competition.

But she had words of consolation for her man as she wrote: 'So so proud of @Scotty_Sinclair he was amazing.'

The couple have been dating for 18 months, and they met while the striker was on loan to Wigan from Chelsea and was living in Manchester.

And with Premiership WAG status, we bet that Helen will have no more problems getting into a match now, unlike her attempt to get in to Swansea's play-off against Reading earlier this month.

She left the stadium during the match at Wembley Stadium and when she tried to return, security staff didn’t want to let her back in.

Fans stepped up to defend Sinclair’s girlfriend though and after convincing staff she was who she said she was, they eventually escorted her back in.
