'Rosie Webster just crashed into me!' Helen Flanagan 'reverses into another driver' after long day of filming on Corrie

She told fans on her Twitter page that she'd been up since five o'clock filming for Coronation Street.

So perhaps fatigue was the reason behind Helen Flanagan's lack of concentration on the roads today.

The actress accidentally reversed her Range Rover into a Vauxhall Corsa driven by a home cleaning services employee, according to onlookers.

Witnesses claim the woman's first words when she called her employers to inform them were: 'Rosie Webster's just crashed into me!'

Helen, 21, is pictured looking back in shock as she felt the impact of the prang, before getting out of her vehicle to inspect the damage.

The soap star, who is leaving the show next month after 12 years, was still dressed in the short blue dress and fascinator she wore to film wedding scenes for Corrie today.

She had swapped her heels for Ugg boots and wrapped up in a cosy coat after completing filming.

It had been a long day of work for Helen, who tweeted that she was freezing on the early morning set.

After last night complaining to followers that she felt she wasn't well due to the cold and that she'd better take care of herself, she wrote this morning: 'Too late I feel dreadful and I'm up at 5 to film I swear I've never been this cold in my life.'

Her misery was understandable, given the costume she was required to wear, which was more suited to a summer wedding.

Helen was forced to wait around outside the Cheshire church in a short, backless frock as she waited between takes for the wedding of her onscreen sister Sophie Webster, played by Brooke Vincent, to girlfriend Sian Powers, played by Sacha Parkinson.

But her early morning calls for days filming in the cold are numbered, with Miss Flanagan due to complete filming for her role next month.

In a recent interview, Helen said the reason she decided to leave was because she felt she couldn't grow as a person anymore, having been on the show for 12 years already.

Although, she also told Hello! magazine last week that she felt some of her characters storylines were a little risque.

'I didn't enjoy playing her when she went through a promiscuous phase. Luckily she shows more heart these days.

'But I'd give her some advice and tell her to calm down a bit. She is fiercely ambitious and worships power and money.'

Helen says she doesn't know how Rosie will be written out of the show but presumes it will be to pursue her glamour modelling career.

A spokesperson for Flanagan is yet to respond to the Mail Online's request for comment.
