The latest episode of Celebs Go Dating has caused quite a stir among viewers, after former Coronation Street and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Helen Flanagan revealed that she actually has a boyfriend. Fans were left fuming as they watched the dating experts question Helen about her relationship status, and her admission definitely caught them off guard.
The 34-year-old actress, who split from her long-term partner Scott Sinclair two years ago, has been on a quest to find love on the popular dating series. However, it seems that she may have already found it off-camera, and her honesty about the situation has divided opinions.
During a conversation with the experts, Helen shared that she had met someone at the beginning of the year and was now struggling to connect with any of the men she was set up with. She explained that she had joined the agency in hopes of broadening her dating experience and discovering more about herself, but her feelings for her partner back home were making things difficult.
Understandably, the experts were taken aback by this revelation and questioned why Helen had hidden the fact that she had a boyfriend. They also expressed their disappointment at feeling misled and that their time had been wasted. Some viewers also shared their frustrations, feeling that Helen should have been transparent from the start.
However, Helen did have some defenders, with some praising her for her honesty and understanding that she may have initially joined the show with good intentions. And while some may have felt that Helen's boyfriend was "wasting a spot" at the agency, it was later revealed that he would actually appear on the next episode.
The show's producers have also commented on the situation, stating that after discovering that Helen was in a relationship, she was asked to be transparent with the agents and her fellow celebrities. It was then decided that Helen and her boyfriend would meet with the agents to assess their compatibility, and she would no longer date members of the public.
Despite the drama, Helen's fellow celebrities on the show seemed to take her bombshell in stride, with Married at First Sight's Ella Morgan playfully calling her "an absolute player." And while viewers may have their own opinions about the situation, one thing is for sure - this season of Celebs Go Dating is certainly keeping us on our toes.
