Helen Flanagan has shared her anxieties about participating in Celebrity Ex On The Beach, expressing her desire to avoid encountering three of her former partners as she gears up to appear on a reality TV program.
The upcoming season of Celebrity Ex On The Beach will feature a diverse cast, including Helen, 35, known for her role as Rosie Webster on the popular ITV soap opera Coronation Street. Joining her on the Paramount+ reality show are familiar faces like TOWIE’s Dani Imbert, one member of pop duo Jedward, and Love Island contestant Toby Aromolaran.
In a preview clip ahead of the show’s premiere, Helen discusses her motivations for joining the series and outlines her ideal qualities in a romantic partner. She expressed, “My perfect match would be someone who is fit, kind, and humorous.” Reflecting on her relationship status, she added, “I believe I am single because I am on a unique journey, I consider myself quite free-spirited with a strong personality.”
Hoping to form a meaningful connection during her time on the beach, Helen also touched upon her past romantic involvements. She mentioned, “I was in a 13-year relationship with the father of my children. And then I recently separated from a boyfriend of one year.”
Furthermore, Helen candidly revealed her apprehension about encountering three specific ex-partners. Her relationship history includes an engagement with footballer Scott Sinclair, which ended after a prolonged engagement period following their split announcement in 2022.
The former I’m A Celebrity contestant opened up about her struggles post-breakup, sharing her diagnoses of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
The explosive dating show, set in Tenerife, will see Helen confront her past flames, such as ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair and boxer David Haye. The upcoming season will also introduce new faces like Married At First Sight UK’s Amy Kenyon and Love Is Blind participant Freddie Powell.
Completing the lineup are fresh contenders like Too Hot To Handle’s Izzy Fairthorne, on the quest for her first boyfriend, and participant Chase DeMoor, returning for a second chance at finding love.
