Helen Flanagan 'having fun' by joining dating app after ruling out Scott Sinclair reunion

Helen Flanagan is not looking for romance but is instead looking to have fun with the right people following her split from her ex-fiancé, Scott Sinclair.

The former Coronation Street actress who is currently appearing on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa and Scott split in July 2022 after being in a relationship since 2009.

In recent weeks, the mum-of-three had been surrounded by claims she was on the lookout for love once again after having reportedly been spotted on a dating app.

Now Helen, 32, has set the record straight on her love life and revealed that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

"I wouldn't want to say if I've been on any dates," she said, before telling OK! Magazine: "Maybe next time – it's nice to have some fun."

Helen's admission comes following reports that Celebs Go Dating bosses had their eye on her in a bid to find her next boyfriend.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Helen is the perfect candidate for Celebs Go Dating and E4 is hoping that she will agree to take part when they approach her for the new series.

"She is a television pro thanks to her time on Corrie and is incredibly glamorous," before adding that she was at "the top of their wish list".

Since splitting from Scott, the actress had hinted that their romance was back on as she was spotted wearing her hefty diamond engagement ring.

But in a bid to clear the speculation up, Helen told her followers: "I always wear it as I find it a comfort as I'm used to having a rock on my finger."

During a family holiday to Dubai, onlookers claimed they "seemed to be close" and a "really happy family unit" while relaxing together.

However, Scott was keen to silence any speculation as he took to his Instagram Stories commenting: "That's news to me."

Last year, Helen's engagement ring snapped which instantly started to ring alarm bells for the actress who had seen this as a "bad omen" and sought advice from a psychic medium.

The actress is currently competing on I'm A Celebrity and revealed she hopes to progress further than she did in 2012, explaining in a recent Instagram video with her daughter: "Matilda, mummy was so scared, I did it because I didn't want you to be like 'mummy didn't do it', but honestly darling I was absolutely... I was so scared.

"I did it because I thought 'Matilda would want to watch me do this'," as she took on her first Bushtucker Trial.
