Helen Flanagan is on the hunt for a bit of fun as she's signed up for online dating.
The former Coronation Street actress - who split with ex Scott Sinclair last October after hitting a rough patch in the summer - is ready to dip her toe back into the dating pool. Helen, 32, shares her three kids Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, 1 - with ex-fiancé and former Celtic player Scott.
The actress was spotted on the celebrity dating app Raya after enjoying a trip to Paris, as she enjoys the confidence boost that came from her recent boob job. “She’s not actively looking for a new relationship – it’s just a bit of fun and an ego boost,” a source told OK! Magazine.
“Friends have told her to put herself on the market and that’s what she’s doing."
Helen was in a relationship with Scott for 13 years before they split. The former couple got engaged in 2018 in Disneyland Paris and reportedly had their wedding venue booked for 2024 before calling time on their romance.
The source continued: "She’s a mum of three, so she doesn’t actually have that much time to go out on dates. But she’s enjoyed a couple here and there and is dipping her toe into the dating pool.
“It’s a new chapter for Helen – she’s had her boob job, she’s had her lips plumped and she’s feeling good about herself. It’s helped her confidence.
“She was with Scott for a long time, so she’s getting used to it again after all these years. She’s also a mum, so she wouldn’t just jump into a relationship. She’s putting the children first,” they explained.
“Friends think it’d be nice for her to meet someone who also has children but there’s no rush and she’s not looking for anything serious right now.”
While Helen and Scott are focused on co-parenting their three children together, the footballer was reportedly left "humiliated" after his ex signed up for the dating apps.
A source told The Sun: “Dating doesn’t have to be serious — it’s not about finding a rebound relationship. Helen just wants to enjoy life again. Obviously, it’s not nice for Scott to hear. He feels humiliated but it is what it is.”
