Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street actress, is navigating the challenges of dating after her split from ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, which occurred in 2022 after 13 years together. Her coach from Celebs Go Dating, Anna Williamson, has highlighted Helen's struggles with self-esteem and the complexities of re-entering the dating scene as a single mother. Anna noted that this is the first time Helen has been on her own, and she is confused about dating after spending her formative years in a long-term relationship. Helen recently revealed that, despite caring deeply for Scott, they no longer get along, admitting they 'don't like each other at all.' The emotional toll of the breakup has been considerable for Helen, leading to a breakdown and a difficult transition into single motherhood. She aims to represent single mothers facing similar challenges in her journey on the dating show.
