Helen Flanagan 'nothing like Rosie'

Helen Flanagan is nothing like her 'Coronation Street' alter-ego.

The 20-year-old actress - who plays saucepot Rosie Webster in the ITV1 soap - says she loves her role because it is so far removed from her self.

She explained: "I'd never be like that in real life so to play Rosie is so much fun."

However the brunette beauty does share one thing in common with her alter ego - she's proud of her assets and knows the "power" they hold over men.

She explained: "I never had boobs when I was young, so I'm grateful I've got a voluptuous chest now. It has a lot of power! Guys always talk to my chest, but I find it quite endearing."

The star also spoke of her love of acting, saying she feels "lucky" to have her 'Corrie' role.

Helen added: "I've been in 'Corrie' since I was nine and I've loved every minute of it - it makes you realise why you wanted to be an actress.

"A lot of people are out of work in this industry, so I feel lucky to be in work. As long as I'm acting I'll always be happy. I love where I work and I don't think many people can say that."
