HELEN Flanagan has put her support behind a national campaign to combat loneliness in the elderly.

The #NotByMySelfie trend has been organised by Age UK as part of their 'no one should have no one' campaign.

The charity wants people on social media to share a 'selfie' of themselves with a special someone in their life who they turn to for advice or company, along with the hashtag #NotByMySelfie.

Helen, who is pregnant with her first child with footballer Scott Sinclair, tweeted her support along with a photo of herself wearing a onesie standing next to her aunt.

She said: "I support @age_uk #NotByMySelfie campaign. Older people should have lots of company. My auntie and I at Xmas."
