The 35-year-old donned a sequinned red and black dress, with black feathered sleeves, and wore a gold and red diamante tiara on her head.
She also held aloft a red apple, symbolic of the poisonous apple so relevant to the Snow White storyline.
A source previously told The Sun: “Helen is excited for panto season and can’t wait to get into character, she’s a brilliant actress and knows how to put on a show.
“She’ll also be pocketing a pretty penny, celebrities and soap stars make good money doing panto and always look forward to it as some extra income.”
Helen, shares daughters Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, as well as four-year-old son Charlie, with her ex Scott Sinclair.
The ex-Coronation Street star also recently told The Sun that she was spending Christmas without her children this year, as she and former Chelsea footballer Scott, who most recently played for Bristol Rovers, live so far apart.
She said: “It’s really difficult. I won’t have the kids for Christmas this year because it’s such hard work because me and Scott, he’s from Bath and I live in North Manchester, so we co-parent five hours away. Really hard work.
“And we’ve done this since Charlie’s been born because he was playing for Bristol.
“But we’re very fair, and I try to be fair with Scott, and he tries to be fair with me. So this Christmas, I won’t have the kids.”
And despite being about to make her first foray into the world of pantomime, Helen is not looking forward to being alone this Christmas.
She said: “I remember the first Christmas, I didn’t have the kids. I did say to Scott, look, you have the kids for Christmas, I want to take them to New Year for Bali.
“And I just said to my friends, it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine.
But I hated it.
“But the Christmas just gone I had them, and I absolutely loved it.
“But I know that this Christmas, it’s going to be the same where he has them away.
“So I’ve taken on a job to keep me busy.
“I’ll do something in November – a really nice long weekend then I feel like I’ve had my Christmas period with them.”
