Helen Flanagan threw the cutest Disney themed birthday party for daughter Matilda's second birthday.

The Coronation Street actress pulled out all the stops to treat little Matilda to a Moana themed party in Manchester.

Helen, 26, even arranged for a real life Moana actress to surprise Matilda and join her for a singalong!

Matilda really believed she was with Moana!

"Matilda loved Moana coming to her birthday and really believed that she was with Moana," said Helen.

"What a wonderful night we had last night with family celebrating Matilda turning 2!"

The bash, held at plush restaurant San Carlo, featured Moana balloons, a Moana birthday cake and dressing up.

Matilda's dad, Helen's footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, 28, was unable to attend because of work commitments, but Helen gave him a shoutout on Instagram saying: "You were so missed Scott. We love you."

Celtic player Scott posted his own birthday message to Matilda as well, sharing a photo of him cuddling his little girl with the caption: "Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful princess you are my world I love you so much."

Helen spoke in February about having to spend time apart from Scott while he's based in Scotland with his football club and she films Corrie in Manchester.

The actress, who plays Rosie Webster, told Loose Women: "Me and Matilda live with my mum and dad during the week.

"And then at the weekends we go to Glasgow because Scott plays for Celtic, so that's what we do at the weekends.

"It's not easy, but I really wanted to go back to work and I've always been really supportive of his career and he's really supportive of mine."

Helen returned to Coronation Street earlier this year after initially quitting the soap in 2012.

She was just nine years old when she first joined the ITV soap before her character departed the screen to star in a fictional reality show.

The star said last year that having Matilda changed her priorities in life. "You realise what’s important but I am completely besotted with her," she admitted.
