Helen Flanagan has always been candid about her personal life, particularly her romantic endeavors and sex life. Since her 12-year relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair, with whom she shares three children, ended in 2022, Helen has been exploring the dating scene once again.
Her quest for love might find a new chapter on an upcoming E4 show featuring other celebrities such as Ella Morgan from Married At First Sight UK and pop star Jamelia, as her efforts to find a match on celebrity dating app Raya didn’t pan out.

last year, Helen, 33, expressed her desire to rediscover herself and pursue what she loves after her long-term relationship ended.
She hinted at the possibility of finding “The One” in her 30s and even considered having another baby if it felt right, despite being busy with her three children.
The transition hasn’t been smooth, as she candidly discussed her challenges in the dating world, from being ghosted to enduring dull conversations and even experiencing a one-night stand.
Helen has always been forthright about her adventurous sex life. During her relationship with Scott, she amassed an extensive collection of lingerie and sex toys, including nipple tassels and a diamond-studded whip from Agent Provocateur.
She recounted an embarrassing moment when Scott’s mother helped her clear out her belongings, only to be confronted by a mountain of intimate apparel and the whip. Helen humorously tried to explain it away as props for a photo shoot.
Helen’s dating history includes a teenage romance with builder Danny Scott, whom she met at a gym near their hometown of Bolton. Their first encounters were steamy, quite literally, as they exchanged glances and shy words in the sauna. Helen fondly recalled how her frequent gym visits were motivated by the desire to see him, leading her mother to remark on her sudden passion for working out.
There were also rumors of a “throuple” involving Helen, boxer David Haye, and his long-term girlfriend, Sian Osborne.
Helen and David reportedly matched on the celeb dating app Raya and went on a date. Helen excitedly told her daughter Delilah about dating a “very hot man,” which she later shared on social media.
However, despite the reports of David and Sian’s open relationship, Helen was not involved in their dynamic.
Helen also revealed a brief, secret relationship with an older man, which she ended because it felt too soon after her breakup with Scott. She shared that she is attracted to older, manly men who understand her role as a mother.
However, she emphasized that she isn’t looking for a serious relationship, just something special and romantic outside of her responsibilities as a mom.
Helen continues to captivate her fans with her racy lingerie photoshoots, often sharing sultry images on Instagram. In January, she participated in Ann Summers’ Valentine’s campaign, promoting self-love and empowerment.
She encouraged women in similar situations to embrace self-worth and focus on themselves and their families.
Despite the calls from fans to join OnlyFans, Helen has opted not to follow that path, even though she admires Sarah Jayne Dunn’s success on the platform.
Helen prefers to keep her focus on her current projects and personal growth, maintaining a non-judgmental stance towards those who choose differently.
