Fashionable Footwear Doesn’t Leave a Good Impression on Actress’ Balance

Helen Flanagan fell down while exiting a restaurant with fellow Celebrity Superspa contestants. The 22 year old actress, who wore a sky-high pair of Louboutins, was seen trying to rebalance herself before giving up on her shoes altogether.

Despite her tumble, Flanagan took things quite well landing on her hands with a smile. Flanagan was helped back on her feet by surrounding crew members and celebrity chef John Burton Race. She then made the rest of her way to the hotel barefoot.
