The 23-year-old has hardly been out of the headlines following her relationship with Scott Sinclair, who she broke up with a few weeks back after he was caught 'sexting' another girl in June.
But sporting a beaming smile she appeared to have forgotten about all her woes, and was spotted buying sunflowers in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, wearing a pretty sun dress just before heading out for Sunday lunch with her parents.

parents for Sunday lunch
Excited about her rendevous with mum Julia and dad Paul, she posted a photo of the bright bunch of sunflowers next to the words: ‘Off to see mum and dad for lunch,’ beside a photo of the bright bunch of sunflowers.
Later on she followed the post by tweeting: ‘Perfect weekend.’
The Coronation Street beauty was colour-coordinated in a pale A-line yellow dress and flat sandals embellished with pretty leather flowers.

didn't clash with sunflowers she bought for lunch with her parents, and
wore a pale yellow dress and even had sandals embellished with little
flowers
Always one to accessorise, she kept her arms warm in a cream and black bomber jacket, whilst carrying a black Chanel bag over one shoulder.
Her long blonde locks were tied up in a top knot bun and kept her make-up light and simple letting her natural beauty shine through.
After picking up the flowers the actress, who was also a contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! last year, whisked away in a sleek white Audi R8 convertible.

Helen only just finished filming for new reality TV show Celebrity Super Spa wrap party last week.
The ucoming reality television show to be broadcast on Channel 5 later this year and will centre on six celebrities working in a Spa in Liverpool, where they will be taught to pluck, preen and pamper by Herbert Howe, a man with fifty years experience in the hair and beauty industry.
She was spotted enjoying the show's wrap party last week at the Sapphire Lounge Bar in Liverpool, where she was getting close to a mystery man who she clearly met on the Channel 5 show.

Despite clearly enjoying their conversation, the pair parted ways into the evening.
Helen, who was seen moving out of the mansion in Alderley Edge recently, returned there the night of her birthday on August 7, and her former boyfriend seemed to have gone with her.
A source told The Sun: 'Scott is really trying to make it up to Helen - he turned up at her birthday party and made Helen's night.'
