Helen Flanagan Swaps Suitcase for Bin Bag on Tour

Helen Flanagan, a former Coronation Street star, is currently touring Wales as Princess Jill in the Mother Goose Easter Panto. The 35-year-old actress shared on Instagram that she's resorting to using a white bin bag for her belongings, citing disorganization and difficulty with traditional suitcases. This unconventional packing method was revealed days after Flanagan publicly expressed dissatisfaction with a Travelodge.

Flanagan recounted an incident at a Travelodge in Northampton, where she claimed a staff member threatened to call the police. She stated she overslept past the 12 PM checkout time due to a lack of sleep and being unwell. The actress expressed her distress over the encounter, particularly as she is away from her children and due for her period. A Travelodge spokesperson has stated they are investigating the incident and have reached out to Flanagan directly. Meanwhile, Flanagan is also preparing for her role in the reality series 'Celebrity Ex On The Beach', filmed in Tenerife. The show will feature her confronting former romantic interests.
