Yahoo News Celebs Go Dating's Helen Flanagan takes big step with 'secret' boyfriend
Celebs Go Dating spoilers follow.
Celebs Go Dating star Helen Flanagan took a big step with her ‘secret’ boyfriend as she returned to the show.
The former Coronation Street star dropped a bombshell at the most recent agency brunch last week as she revealed that she met somebody outside of the show, with her co-stars and the agency experts left stunned following the revelation.
It was later confirmed that Helen would not be placed on any more dates with prospective matches, but she returned in Monday’s (September 9) episode as her boyfriend, Robbie, was introduced for the first time.

As the couple met for a drink at a local pub, Helen informed former footballer Robbie of the previous events on the show, before asking him if he’d be willing to drop in at the agency to meet Paul C Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn.
Helen told Robbie: “So I basically came clean at the agency about me and you. So they want to know if you would come to the agency with me?”
Robbie, however, seemed confused by the suggestion, questioning why they needed the help of a dating agency given they were in a relationship. Helen explained that the experts wanted to meet him as her boyfriend, adding that it was “kind of like therapy”.
Helen’s confession last week drew a negative response from the experts, with Anna remarking in the VT: “Pardon? You’ve got a boyfriend? Why on Earth did she not tell us about this?”

Paul was also angry at Helen’s lack of transparency, remarking that she had “lied” and “wasted their time”, with the actor admitting that she had unwittingly “compared” every other date to Robbie throughout the series.
Helen, who has also appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, is joined in the series by Stephen Webb, Jamelia, Chris Taylor, Ella Morgan, Tristan Phipps and Lauryn Goodman, with the latter joining the agency following Helen’s reduced role.
Celebs Go Dating airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 9pm on E4.
