Former Coronation Street star, Helen Flanagan has insisted that her eating disorder problems are behind her.

The 23-year-old actress opened up about her body image issues and how they affected her while she was working in Corrie. But Helen says that mentality is gone and she feels more confident about her looks now.

“I was a lot younger when I had those problems. Now I’m older I know I would never go back into that mentality.”

However, Helen sparked worries recently, when she lost over a stone after doing a food cleanse with her little sister, Jessica. But the model has insisted that her and Jessica lost the weight in a healthy way and she definitely doesn’t want to lose her famous curves.

“Jessica and I have both lost weight healthily and we still have treats. Hangover days are particularly bad, and there are days when I just want to curl up and eat chocolate. I don’t want to lose lots of weight, for me, it’s more about being toned.”

If you haven’t watched the second episode of season four its best you stop reading now, as former Game of Thrones’ star, Sean Bean has shared his thoughts on a certain scene.

Sean Bean who famously played Ned Stark on the iconic show, said he was “glad” about the Purple Wedding death.

This famous scene saw the death of probably one of the most hated characters on television, Joffrey who is portrayed by Irish actor, Jack Gleeson.

Sean spoke about what how brilliant Jack was on the show but, he’s “glad” that the character is finally gone.

“He was brilliant, that kid. He’s a fantastic actor, and he really got people’s backs up, which, I guess that’s what was required of the character. He certainly pulled that off. But, what can I say? I’m glad he’s dead!”

Miley has always been raising eyebrows when it comes to her strange onstage antics but, it seems Cryus’ own godmother isn’t even impressed with Miley’s recent performances.

Dolly Parton said in a recent interview that Miley needs to calm down with her controversial ways and let the music do the talking.

Dolly spoke about her goddaughter’s recent transition and how difficult Miley has found it to leave her Disney image behind.

“If I didn’t know how smart and talented Miley is, I might worry about her. She was very proud of the work she did as Hannah Montana, but people were gonna leave her there forever. And she was just smotherin’ and chokin’ in it. So she felt she had to do something completely drastic.”

Dolly said that Miley’s new album is good and the 21-year-old singer should just focus on her song lyrics and nothing else.

“‘Wrecking Ball’ is a great song. The whole album is great. So I’m hoping that now she can relax and show people how talented she really is. Cos the girl can write. The girl can sing. The girl is smart. And she doesn’t have to be so drastic.”

You’ve heard your parents say that there’s ‘no such thing as manners any more!’

Well, maybe they have a point.

Check out the five rudest things you do every day without even knowing it.

1.  Not looking up from your phone while you’re ordering food. That Facebook post isn’t going to ‘like’ itself, just bring me a BLT with a side of manners please.

2.  Walking in a group that takes over the whole footpath. You can’t split up from the girls to let someone past – you might miss a crucial bit of gossip!

3.  Tagging people in pictures without asking them. OK, so they’ve got 10 chins in this photo, but your new haircut looks amazing!

4.  Leaving your phone on the table during dinner. Are you expecting a really important call? Oh no, you just don’t want to miss any Facebook updates as opposed to actually engaging in normal human conversation.

5.  Holding your phone up at a concert to take pictures. No one behind you can see, your pictures are terrible and no one will actually want to see them when forced to look at them. Is that Justin Bieber or Beyoncé? Who knows!

Have you ever laughed so much, your side is sore and you’re completely out of breath? It feels like you’ve just finished a two-hour session at the gym!

Laughter and exercise may share more in common than you think and both are great for boosting your health. Although one is definitely much more fun…

Having a good giggle can improve blood pressure, stimulate the organs and reduce pain. Here are some other health-boosting benefits of a chuckle session:

Laughter relaxes the whole body
A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

Laughter boosts the immune system
A giggle decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.

Laughter triggers the release of endorphins
These are the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

Laughter protects the heart
Having a chuckle improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

No show’s finale has faced as much controversy for quite some time, as the How I Met Your Mother’s finale.

Fans were left furious with how creators chose to end the hit show, with many saying they completely strayed from everything that occurred in the last nine years.

However, Neil Patrick Harris who has kept quiet up to this point about the finale has spoken out and said the show could not have ended in any other way.

Neil who played favourite Barney said that some people simply “never grow up”.

Harris went onto explain Barney’s character arc: “You want Barney to be the guy you bring your mum home to, but Barney is the guy that wants to bang your mum.”

With so many beautiful waterfalls in the world, you could probably spend a whole year wandering the globe visiting them. So, to make sure you don’t miss the best ones, we have compiled a list!

Iguazu Falls
Located in Argentina, this incredible water feature spans a width of two miles.

Langfossen
This powerful waterfall in Norway cascades down over beautiful rock. You can even view the incredible scene from the comfort of your car.

Ouzoud Waterfall
Ouzound Waterfall is located in the mountains of Morocco and is surrounded by gorgeous scenery including an abundance of olive trees. The water falls over beautiful red rock and is picture perfect.

Niagra Falls
Of course, this one has to feature in the list. It is just right on the border of America and Canada and is a huge expanse of amazing views. If you’re ever in Canada, make sure to pop by.

Powerscourt Waterfall
We could not complete the list without mentioning one of Ireland’s most beautiful waterfall. If you have never been, it is time to head to Wicklow. It will be worth it, especially in the summer.

According to reports The Wanted singers, Siva Kaneswaran and Jay McGuiness were involved in a scary knife attack at the beginning of the week.

Siva and Jay were apparently walking from the cinema, when they were approached by a homeless man who asked them for money.

The two Wanted singers obliged and gave the homeless man some cash. But that apparently wasn’t enough, as the homeless man began to get aggressive and demanded more, to which they both refused.

The homeless man then threatened Siva and Jay with a knife and a scuffle began between the three of them.

Both Siva and Jay managed to escape unharmed and apparently have chosen to not get the police involved.
