Speaking to Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, Helen got down to admitting that her last crush was on athlete David, who she met while on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
David, who is in an open relationship with Sian Osbourne, began dating Helen, but things became more difficult as Helen struggled with not being the only woman in his life.
Previously, in 2023, the Coronation Street beauty hit out at the “happy couple” amid rumors they were in a threesome.
It came as she said she would be spending the festive period without her three children for the first time – instead with David and Sian in Bali.

Helen revisited her feelings on Celebs Go Dating and admitted to the experts: “It was something, it’s really hard for me to talk about him having a girlfriend and being in an open relationship.”
“I didn’t want to fall in love with him, but I did.”
“We had this amazing connection. We were like fire together.”
“It was weird. I think he loves his girlfriend, but he loves me too,” she added.
“It just brings me to a part of my life that was actually pretty dark.”
David and Sian were previously in a relationship with The Saturdays pop star Una Healy.
Helen Flanagan ditched Celebs Go Dating love in embarrassing phone call – after being accused of having a boyfriend
In March 2023, the Up singer revealed the real reason for their breakup.
Meanwhile, Helen explained that she felt “very lonely” after splitting from long-term love Scott Sinclair, and it took her more than nine months to start dating someone new.
But she dismissed claims she was in a “threesome” with David, saying it was “not for her”.
But she didn’t say she was in a relationship with David, calling it a “situation.”
I was in love with that man, she said. “I would not enjoy watching the man I was in love with having sex with another woman.
– That’s not for me.

As their relationship grew, Helen choked up and eventually burst into tears as she admitted she felt “guilty” towards his girlfriend.
“I didn’t feel good about it,” she said. “In general, it makes me feel really bad and it really upsets me because I’m a nice girl, I don’t want to hurt people and I felt really, really bad about it.”
Worrying in tears, Helen added: “I felt very guilty about it, but I was very lonely. It was very difficult, you know? It was very difficult, but obviously if you sleep with someone for a long time you fall in love into them, and I was just lonely and it just happened.”
Doctor Tara offered her support, saying that as long as Sian was okay with dating David, there was nothing to feel guilty about.
She also added that the feeling is “normal” for people who are used to monogamous relationships for the first time in non-monogamous relationships.
David and Helen ended their ‘situation’ in December last year, leaving the Corrie star open to joining Celebs Go Dating.
Celebs Go Dating airs weekdays at 9pm on E4.
