'Coronation Street' actress Helen Flanagan has stopped tweeting following trolls and 'nasty' comments.

The 23-year-old star used to update her 500,000 followers with the latest goings-on in her life but she has not tweeted since July 22, reported the Daily Star.

"People were being really nasty about her," said her spokesperson. Flanagan has sent more than 10,000 tweets on the social networking site and amassed a large following, while she follows 1,464 people herself.

She has stirred up some controversy while using the social media platform in the past, like 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.
 

The actress faced criticism to which she replied, "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)"

She is also a keen Instagram user but she has not uploaded any picture on the photo-sharing site since July 21.
