Helen Flanagan stuns in a white bikini as she cosies up to footballer boyfriend Robbie Talbot at Celebs Go Dating party
HELEN Flanagan looked incredible in a white bikini as she cosied up to her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot at the Celebs Go Dating finale.
The Coronation Street star, 34, slipped into the two-piece swimsuit as she celebrated with her other co-stars at the pool party.
Helen, who dropped a huge bombshell earlier this series that she had a boyfriend on the outside, flashed a big smile next to Robbie, 44, who is an English former professional footballer and coach.
She wore the white sarong tied around her waist and completed her glam look with a full face of makeup and sleek loose tresses.
The couple looked in high spirits as they wrapped their arms around each other for the loved-up snap.
Robbie matched with his girlfriend in a classic white t-shirt and a pair of light grey shorts.
He played for a number of clubs including Morecambe, Burton Albion, and Ashton, and retired in 2010 due to an injury from a car accident.
Many fans were delighted that Helen has found love again, after splitting from the father of her children, footballer Scott Sinclair in 2022.
This fan gushed: “He seems like a really nice guy and you both seem so well suited.”
A second posted: “You two are so cute together. He’s a keeper. I met my keeper nearly 11 years ago with 3 small kids. Long may it last.”
A third added: “He seems very nice, good luck to her.”
It comes after Celebs Go Dating agent Paul C Brunson slammed Helen after joining the agency when she had a secret boyfriend.
The actress was one of the famous faces who asked for Paul, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara for help to find love.
However half way through the series, Helen dropped the bombshell that she already had a man that she had fallen in love with.
Since then Helen and boyfriend Robbie Talbot have joined the agency for relationship advice.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast today, hosts Chris Stark and Sian Welby couldn’t help but bring up Helen’s antics.
Paul said: “Through the years, because I’ve been on this one for 9 series, through the years we’ve had rumours of celebs who have walked in with partners, but we never had the proof of it.
“But here’s Helen saying “yeah I’ve got a boyfriend, and I’m in love.” I was very upset. I was very upset.
“And the reason why, is we had wasted so much time and energy and she was out here kissing other guys!”
Chris then asked: “So before then, was she treating it like an acting job? She was kissing other people, but she was playing the role in the agency . Is that how you kind of saw it?”
Paul said: “That’s exactly how I saw it.”
Earlier this week Helen revealed a huge new step in her romance with her footballer beau.
During a catch-up with social media star Ashley James, Helen admitted Robbie had stepped into the step-dad role with her three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
Helen revealed to Ashley: “He is just amazing and he treats me so well.
“He is just the sweetest guy.
“He really helps me with the kids.”
She then went on to add of his hands-on approach to her son, revealing: “He takes Charlie to nursery – he helped me the other day with the kids.
“He can’t do enough for me.”
Helen’s romance has raised a few eyebrows – and she spoke candidly about her man on Lorraine last week.
She said: “I signed up for the show at the beginning of the year, and we [she and Robbie] were dating.
“It just progressed.
“I wear my heart on my sleeve and I just wanted to come clean.”
She added: “I wanted to be true to myself.
“I am a big fan of the show, I love the show, and I wanted to get the most from the show.
“I wanted to be honest.”
Helen split with Scott Sinclair, 35, in 2022 after 13 years together. They share three kids.
