Celtic WAG Helen Flanagan has been taking acting classes after vile online trolls branded her Coronation Street performances as 'wooden'.

The Rosie Webster actress returned to the cobbles earlier this year but fans of the show have slated her appearances on social media.

As a result the 27-year-old partner of Celtic star Scott Sinclair has revealed to her Instagram followers that she has just completed a two-week course at London acting school RADA.

As she posed for a snap outside the Royal Academy for Dramatic Art she said: "Had the most amazing time on my two-week course at RADA.

"Absolutely loved it."

Fans laid into the actress back in February when ITV bosses allowed her to answer questions on Twitter about her return to TV after a five year break.

One Coronation Street fan told her: "They could have employed a chair leg it would have been less wooden."

Rockstonediva asked: "When are you and your bad acting leaving Corrie so I can watch it again???"

While another fan chipped in: "As Rosie, she’s got worse, can’t act to save her life."
