Helen Flanagan, known for her role in Coronation Street, recently discussed her relationship with Robbie Talbot and her decision to participate in the dating show Celebs Go Dating, despite already being in a relationship.
The 34-year-old actress faced criticism for breaking a rule of the E4 reality series, as she was already involved with Talbot, a former professional footballer. During a revealing episode, Flanagan expressed her deep feelings for Talbot, stating that she was “in love.”
This revelation prompted fans to urge her to withdraw from the show. However, she later explained her reasons for staying on the program. In an interview with Lorraine Kelly on her ITV daytime show, Flanagan clarified that she had committed to the series at the beginning of the year while she and Talbot were dating.
As their relationship evolved, she felt compelled to be honest about her feelings. “I wear my heart on my sleeve and I just wanted to come clean,” she shared, emphasizing her desire for transparency in her romantic life.
