Helen Flanagan has quit Twitter.
The 23-year-old star usually enjoys keeping her 500,000 followers updated with the latest goings-on in her life on a daily basis, but she has stopped tweeting on the social networking site for good after being inundated with spiteful messages from trolls.
Her spokesperson told the Daily Star newspaper: "People were being really nasty about her."
The former 'Coronation Street' star - who is dating footballer Scott Sinclair - hasn't tweeted since July 22 when she wrote: "I am a vampire".
Helen has sent more than 10,000 tweets on the social networking site and amassed a large following, while she follows 1,464 people herself.
But she has stirred up some controversy while using the social media platform in the past, such as in March 2013 when she posted a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt in support of animal charity PETA shortly after posting images of her carrying leather bags.
In response to the criticism, she wrote: "I'm sorry but this is ridiculous leave me alone! I've done something for charity - exotic animals are killed in a cruel way for there skins, leather is not! Stop picking on me. Enough. (sic)"
And in 2012, Helen posted a picture of herself pointing a gun to her head just hours after the Sandy Hook shootings in the US.
She later went on ITV's Daybreak to apologise for sharing the picture and broke down in tears while admitting it was the "stupidest thing" she's ever done.
Helen is also a keen Instagram user but she hasn't uploaded a picture on the photo-sharing website since July 21.

Arthur Darvill has been trained to keep 'Broachurch' storylines a secret.
The 32-year-old actor won't give fans even the smallest hint about the upcoming second series of the hit ITV drama and jokes that he's now "unfoxable" following his unique experience on the first series.
Arthur learned to how to be stealthy about the plot after viewers - including his own nan - tried to pry the identity of schoolboy Danny Latimer's murderer out of him.
Talking to BANG Showbiz at the launch of new free-to-air channel truTV UK in east London yesterday (31.07.14), he said: "When the last series was on, everywhere I went everyone was like, 'Yeah, great, so who did it?' or bring it up in conversation trying to fox me, but I'm unfoxable. I've been trained in the ways of the fox."
The former 'Doctor Who' star - who plays Reverend Paul Coates on the show - couldn't even pop to the shops or visit his nan for a cup of tea without being bombarded with questions.
He joked: "It used to happen quite a lot at the supermarket, my family friends, around my nan's house for a cup of tea. I can't even tell my nan, much to her frustration."
The second series of 'Broadchurch' is currently being filmed in Dorset and according to Arthur, he and his co-stars Olivia Colman and David Tennant don't have much time to kick back and relax as their filming schedule is very demanding.
He shared: "There's a lot of work being done. There's not much hair being let down. It's all very busy at the moment."

'The X Factor' judges have filmed a 'Game of Thrones'-themed advert.
Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole - who is expected to use her new married name Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on the show - Mel B and Louis Walsh - were joined by hundreds of extras at Pinewood Studios shooting the £1 million trailer, the most expensive in the show's history.
The short film - which took a week to film - sees the quartet lead singing warrior armies into war as they prepare to do battle to take the 'X Factor' throne, echoing the fantasy drama which sees warring families competing to take control of the seven kingdoms
The advert, which was helmed by One Direction music video director Ben Winston, also made extensive use of green screen and CGI technology.
Mel B shouts: "Things are about to get loud."
Cheryl winks and orders her 'army' to charge, while Simon warns: "It's time to get down to business."
The new advert will air for the first time on ITV tonight (01.08.14).
Meanwhile, Cheryl was reportedly left "unimpressed" by Louis at the Wembley auditions yesterday (31.07.14) after he told her he "didn't know" how to pronounce her new surname.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It was a frosty moment, Cheryl wasn't impressed."

Taylor Lautner says taking a role in 'Cuckoo' was a "big risk".
The 'Twilight' star is currently starring alongside 'The Inbetweeners' comedian Greg Davies in the second series of the BBC Three show and he's admitted he was worried about joining the cast of the comedy.
The actor explained: "I wasn't confident at all. I'd only done cameos in comedy films before and I hosted 'Saturday Night Live', but this was my first fully fledged comedy, so it was a big risk for me. But I'm so glad I did it."
The heartthrob also revealed the reasoning behind him agreeing to appear in the show which previously starred 'Brooklyn Nine Nine' actor Andy Samberg in the first series.
He said: "Well, I hadn't seen the show originally, but the producers reached out and said they'd love for me to look at it and see if I was interested.
"So I watched the first series and loved it from beginning to end. I knew it would be something completely different for me, and that was the biggest thing that attracted me to it.
"I haven't done anything like this before. I thought it would be a lot of fun and that's exactly how it turned out."
Taylor also spoke about his character and described him as being "like a little puppy dog in many ways".
He told heat magazine: "He's very sweet and naïve, but also very loyal to this new family he's ended up living with."

Jonathan Ross won't work in the US.
The 53-year-old talk show host has admitted he isn't ready to take 'The Jonathan Ross Show' across the pond as he doesn't feel he can compete with popular presenters Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel, who also front their own late night talk shows.
Speaking at the Cinemoi and Fashion Film Network's annual international awards in Los Angeles, he said: "The No. 1 guy at the moment is Jimmy Fallon. You wouldn't want to come out here and take on Jimmy. You're never going to be up there with him.
"And Jimmy Kimmel is doing great still.
"I don't have the appetite to conquer new territory. I am still really happy working in the UK."
Jonathan - who has hosted the ITV show since 2011 - has already turned down opportunities to crack the US, preferring to put the needs of his wife Jane Goldman and their three children, Betty, Honey and Harvey, first.
He explained: "Years ago I was offered a show here. We didn't come over because the kids were growing up and were happy at school. And we were really happy there.
"It's not really on my agenda, and they've got so much talent here - why would they need to look elsewhere? - they don't."
Although Jonathan won't be heading to America to advance his own career, he is prepared to make the move for his screenwriter wife, who helped pen 'X-Men: First Class' and 'Kick-Ass'.
He said: "I wouldn't consider moving here for work. I'd consider working here because my wife has so much work in the US now. She writes big movies for big studios.
"But really, our life is in the UK. It's where my kids go to school, where they are still."

Kerry Washington wasn't sure about swapping her film career for TV.
The 'Scandal' actress has earned two Emmy Award nominations for her role as quick-witted political fixer Olivia Pope in the hit US drama, but she admits she almost didn't make the jump to the small screen after finding success in Hollywood films such as 'Ray' and 'Django Unchained'.
She said: "At first I thought, 'Why would I want to do a TV show, I have a flourishing movie career?' But it's so rare that we see a woman on top of the story that the more I read of the scripts, the more I was hooked into it."
Kerry has previously been cast in supporting roles as the wife of a lead character, so playing a strong, confident woman in charge was a nice change.
She explained: "It's exciting to be at the centre of the story and I'm proud to be part of something as a woman who is her own woman, not as an accessory or as someone's wife."
The 37-year-old beauty is as widely praised for her wardrobe as she is for her character in the drama, but she doesn't get to keep any of Olivia's coveted fashions.
Kerry told the Metro newspaper: "I wish! I had lots of discussions with Lyn Paolo, the designer, about how we wanted Olivia to look. We wanted it to seem like she has a closet so in each episode you see her wearing the same things, mixing and matching, so I'm not allowed to take anything home."
'Scandal' Season 3 starts tonight (31.07.14) at 9pm on Sky Living.

Peter Capaldi thought he was too old for 'Doctor Who'.
The 56-year-old actor is to make his debut as the titular Time Lord next month but he admits he had given up hope of landing the coveted role as he thought producers would replace predecessor Matt Smith, 31, with an actor similar in age.
Peter told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "I wouldn't have thought I would be the guy. I wouldn't have thought it would be me, because of my age. I would have thought they were automatically heading younger."
He then quipped: "I'm technically too young for the part, because he's over 2,000 years old!"
Executive producer Steven Moffat insists Peter isn't too old for the part because there's "no right age to be the Doctor".
He explained: "I did say, 'No, we probably won't end up with another quirky young man.' I didn't think there was any space around Matt to have another Doctor of that kind, because he sort of sums up what you could do with that. I very, very quickly - very quickly - just thought about Peter."
Peter will be joined on his adventures by Jenna Coleman, reprising her role as Clara Oswald, in the eighth series.
Guest stars include singer Foxes, 'Line of Duty' actress Keeley Hawes and comedian Frank Skinner.

Holly Hagan is to release her first solo single.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has swapped her boozy antics on the infamous MTV reality show for her singing talent by teaming up with dance and music industry giants All Around The World to release a cover of Kelis' 2003 hit 'Milkshake'.
She said: "I never thought I'd have the opportunity to be able to make my own music record, it's like a dream come true."
The 22-year-old star has given the song a more dance floor feel to it and the idea came about after she was partying and heard a Milkshake bootleg featuring 50 Cent and Mary J Blige.
She added: "With this track being 10 years old (I first heard this track when I was 11) I think a lot of young people would never have heard this track. I'm just opening it up to people who have heard it before but also for those hearing it for the first time, it's such a great tune.
"I've always been a fan of the song, and now I've given my own take on it. Since my early teens, I've always loved Clubland, and dance music and so do all my friends. This track is unapologetically Clubland.
"I hope everyone can have a sing and dance along to it, and just have fun, because that is my intention."
Holly is no stranger to singing on camera after previously joining forces with her 'Geordie Shore' co-star Charlotte Crosby to sing a cover of 'City High - What Would You Do' for a YouTube clip.
Holly's 'Milkshake' cover currently appears on 'Clubland 25' but will be released as a single in the coming weeks. The star has also shot the video for the tune: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPQcKlK9CSQ

Kenny Ireland has died aged 68.
The 'Benidorm' actor - who played swinger Donald Stewart in the ITV comedy - passed away today (31.07.14) following a battle with cancer.
The tragic news was confirmed by Scotland's Royal Lyceum Theatre, where Kenny was creative director for over a decade until 2003.
The theatre said in a statement: "We are greatly saddened to learn today that Kenny Ireland, Artistic Director of The Lyceum from 1992-2003 passed away this morning."
Kenny was written out of the upcoming series of 'Benidorm' last month in order to focus on his recovery.
An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: "We are terribly saddened to hear that Kenny Ireland has passed away, our thoughts are with his family at this time.
"He was a much loved actor, not only by the cast and crew on 'Benidorm' but by the millions of fans out there.
"He appeared as Donald Stewart in 'Benidorm' from the first episode and helped play a huge part in its success. He will be greatly missed."
As well as 'Benidorm', the Scottish star appeared in 'Victoria Wood As Seen on TV', 'Taggart', 'Drop the Dead Donkey' and 'Heartbeat'.
