Helen Flanagan gazes lovingly at new boyfriend Robbie Talbot - days after swipe at ex
There's no doubt about it - Helen Flanagan is head over heels with new boyfriend, Robbie Talbot. The pair - who met in February this year, just days before Helen signed a contract to appear on E4’s Celebs Go Dating - were spotted enjoying a date night in Liverpool as they gazed lovingly at one another. During their night out in Liverpool to celebrate Robbie's birthday, Helen opted for a low-cut black dress with red accessories and her hair in loose waves. Robbie, matching to Helen, also donned black with white trainers.
Just days ago the former Coronation Street star gushed over Robbie ina very loved-up birthday video and shared a glimpse at their relationship. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, 31 October, Helen posted a sweet video montage of highlights from their blossoming romance to mark Robbie's birthday. The pair could be seen sharing several passionate kisses, cuddling at home, giggling together and days out with their kids. Helen captioned the video: "Happy birthday @robbietalbs. The loveliest, kindest, funniest man I’ve ever met. Thank you for looking after me love you xxx."
However, their loved-up display comes just days after Helen revealed that her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair has blocked her on his phone, despite them sharing three children together. The 34 year old actress split from Scott, 35, in 2022 after a relationship spanning thirteen years, four of which they were engaged.

They are parents to Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three. Speaking candidly for the first time about their break up on The Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast, Coronation Street star Helen admitted: "You read so much about how you don't need a man to make you happy. No, I don't need a man to make me happy, but it really f*****g helps when you're in a healthy relationship compared to a toxic one."
She went on to describe her relationship with Scott as unhealthy, saying: "No disrespect to the father of my children, you know, I've had three children with him, and I always have a lot of love for him. We're both good people, but together we were very toxic. I think a toxic relationship can just damage your mental health a lot. Especially when you struggle with your mental health anyway. 'I mean, I'm on block at the moment on Scott's phone. I really am. I'm on block.
"We do each other's f*****g head in. But I know he always will have a love for me, you know, you always have kind of a respect for each other, I know he's not a bad guy, we've just got our own s**t going on. And I think because we're together from so young, we were just 19, and I just don't think we had that time to grow, until we've split up, we just we just didn't work."
