Helen Flanagan ‘asked to leave posh Barbados restaurant after visiting in a gold two-piece bikini, prompting fellow tourist to come to star’s rescue’
Helen Flanagan was reportedly turned away from a posh Barbados eatery while on holiday this week for not meeting the cafe’s dress code.
A fellow tourist claims to have come to the rescue of the actress, 32, after she was told she would not be allowed in the restaurant while wearing only a gold two-piece bikini.
The former Coronation Street cast member was said to have been left red-faced after staff at the Kyma coffee shop at the four-star Waves Hotel and Spa asked her to cover up her swimwear before entering with her children.

Another holidaymaker told The Sun: ‘Helen turned up to the Kyma bar with her kids and was enjoying a drink outside. It was seriously hot in the early afternoon and when Helen took her kids indoors to get the air-conditioning, she was told she had to cover up or leave.

‘She looked horrified because all she had on was a bikini and people were staring. My sister had a Skims black dress and lent it to her so she could go in.
‘She was so grateful because it was a little awkward.
They added that, while it’s possible to access the cafe straight from the beach, visitors are required to wear a T-shirt or a kaftan.
The holidaymaker said Helen enjoyed her time with her children at the cafe before returning the dress and the flip flops that were leant to her, with the person describing Helena as a ‘great sport’.
