Actress Helen Flanagan is reportedly set to be approached Celebs Go Dating following her shock split from Scott Sinclair. The former Coronation Street star and her ex-fiancé Bristol Rovers' winger were together for 13 years, welcoming three children - Delilah, Matilda and Charlie - into the world together over the years before splitting up in 2022.
Last month, it was reported that 32-year-old Helen was looking to browse the market again after signing up to star-studded dating app Raya. The former I'm A Celeb campmate is believed to have signed up for the exclusive matchmaking app after spending time in the French capital with her nearest and dearest.
And now, Helen might be bringing her hunt for love to our screens, as she is a highly sought after candidate for E4's Celebs Go Dating, The Sun reports. The mum-of-three is said to be resting at the dizzy heights of E4 bosses' list for the next series of the fly-on-the-wall reality series.

"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," an insider shared. "She is a television pro thanks to her time on Corrie and is incredibly glamorous."
"She would be the star signing for the show and the production team have put her name at the top of their wish list as they think she would be a hit with viewers. Helen only split from Scott five months ago so it’s still very early days for her in terms of finding love."
The source also divulged to The Sun that Celebs Go Dating producers think Helen could be open to "dipping her toe back into the dating pool with the help of the the programme’s relationship experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson". The newly single actress is thought to have split from her ex-fiancé in 2022 after an insider claimed the former couple "hit a rough patch in the summer".
Friends and family members were left shocked when Helen and Scott called off their engagement last year after 13 years together. Scott got down on one knee and popped the question to Helen in 2018, after nine years of dating; they had been set to tie the knot next year before calling it quits.
