Helen Flanagan has shared a relationship update following her appearance on Celebs Go Dating.
The former Coronation Street star was part of the latest season of the E4 dating show, which saw a group of famous faces join an exclusive dating agency in the hope of finding love.
During the second brunch of the season, Helen shockingly revealed that she didn't want to progress further in the experiment because she had already met someone from home – former professional footballer Robbie Talbot.

Following her confession, the show's experts – Anna Williamson, Paul C Brunson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn – decided to begin relationship counselling with the new couple.
On Monday (September 23), Helen took to Instagram to share a Reel inspired by Lindsay Lohan's iconic 1998 film The Parent Trap.

The clip sees Robbie lip-syncing to Dennis Quaid's memorable line from the movie, "This is Meredith Blake", which referred to Elaine Hendrix's gold-digging character – who was set to marry Quaid's character Nick Parker.
Helen then comes into view, sitting on Robbie's lap and winking at the camera. Reminiscent of Meredith's sophisticated style, Helen wore a silver crop top and a matching skirt with cut-out sides. "Meredith Blake Era," the post's caption read.

A fourth fan echoed the sentiment: "You make a lovely couple, I wish you all the best in the future."
