Inside Helen Flanagan’s raunchy sex confessions – from her ‘love’ of toys to a diamond-encrusted Agent Provocateur buy
WITH her sultry Instagram snapshots and playful moments dressed in lingerie for her one million followers, Helen Flanagan effortlessly embodies that ‘girl next door’ charm.
The Coronation Street actress captivated audiences on television for over a decade, but her off-screen antics are equally exciting.
Helen, 34, openly admits to “loving being sexy” and “embracing” her body, and she certainly brings that same allure into the bedroom.
It turns out that Helen, who shares her three children Matilda, age seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, three, with her ex Scott Sinclair, “loves” a sexy toy collection, and has “pretty much brought every set of underwear” from British lingerie retailer Agent Provocateur.
The actress also recently made a cheeky sex confession on this year’s Celebs Go Dating.
Helen, who is dating ex-morecambe and Burton Albion striker Robbie Talbot, revealed her saucy confession and viewers couldn’t believe it.
Seated next to Robbie on the couch in a modest blue dress, Helen laughed, saying: “My friends back home are like, ‘you’ve got love bites everywhere’.”
Only a few days earlier, Helen, 34, had jeopardised her place on the programme by disclosing her secret relationship with Robbie.
She ultimately presented him to the show’s agents after the producers consented to include him in the filming.
Those watching at home struggled to understand why he had agreed to take part – particularly after Helen had snogged another man in an earlier episode.
One person asked: “So her boyfriend is OK with her snogging other boys? Gross.”
Before meeting footballer Scott, teenage Helen was romantically involved with builder Danny Scott.
The two first crossed paths at their local gym near their hometown of Bolton, Greater Manchester, and Helen recounted how their initial meetings were quite literally steamy.
She told The People: “For a while, I was at the gym all the time just to catch a glimpse of him.
“My mum even remarked, ‘Wow, you really love working out, don’t you?’
Secret relationship
“We actually noticed each other for the first time in the sauna, and I remember thinking, ‘He’s really attractive.’
“He’s rather shy, and as we exited the sauna, he commented, ‘Oh, it was hot in there.’ How adorable? Of course it was.”
Helen also previously admitted she had a secret relationship with an older man but ended it, feeling it was too soon after her long engagement to ex-fiancé Scott.
I feel like I’ve got sweaty boobs now and I can’t wear any knickers with this dress

“I was seeing someone intermittently for about six months, but it didn’t feel right,” she revealed to The Sun.
“It was probably a bit too soon after Scott. I’m really drawn to mature, manly men who understand that I’m a mum.
“I usually go for men who are 40 or older. But above all, he needs to be a decent and good-hearted person.
“I’m not seeking a relationship, but I am looking for something that feels special and enjoyable.
“Some romance that exists outside of my life as a mum, with someone who understands that’s what I’m after.”
Knickerless
Speaking on Celebs Go Dating, Helen admitted to not wearing any knickers with her dress.
As she was standing with Jamelia at the bar, the women were approached by two men, who tried to strike up a conversation by asking how they were finding the experience so far.
She replied: “It’s really, really, really, really hot. I feel like I’ve got sweaty boobs now and I can’t wear any knickers with this dress because it would just give a line so…”
Sexy toys
Back in 2014, Helen told The Sun’s TV Mag that she has a love for fun bedroom toys.
She says: “I have pretty much bought every set of underwear Agent Provocateur has ever made and most of it is in [ex Scott Sinclair‘s] house.
“I’ve got loads of stuff from nipple tassels to this amazing diamond studded whip from Agent Provocateur.
“But it was getting so embarrassing when Scott’s mum was helping me clear out stuff and all you could see was underwear and this whip.
“I was getting really flustered, saying, ‘Honestly, I bought it for a shoot’.
It’s because I like to dress sexy, it’s silly.

“And I did! But I kept it because I love it. Scott’s mum is lovely and she knows what I’m like so she just laughed.”
Saucy underwear
The actress is no stranger to stripping down to her undies for a photo shoot and has been sharing racy snaps on social media since her split from footballer Scott.
But she’s been forced to defend herself after being mum-shamed for posting sexy snaps.
Previously speaking to The Sun at the Pride of Britain Awards, she said: “It’s because I like to dress sexy, it’s silly.
“I’m very much for women empowerment. I like women to feel confident, and I think women should celebrate ourselves.”
Helen Flanagen's roller coaster love life
Breakdown with Scott Sinclair
Long-term Relationship: Helen and football star Scott Sinclair were together for 13 years and share three children.
Helen has been candid about their relationship ending due to frequent arguments.
She said: “I think it was just… we weren’t right for each other. We weren’t compatible anymore. I always used to feel quite invisible with Scott. I feel like I was always fighting to get his attention. The arguments that we’d have were just so… it was really sad.”
Celebs Go Dating and David Haye
While on Celebs Go Dating, Helen discussed being in a throuple with David Haye, who is in an open relationship with Sian Osbourne.
Helen admitted she was last in love with David, which was challenging for her.
She said: “It was quite something, it’s really hard for me to talk about it. He had a girlfriend and an open relationship. I didn’t mean to fall in love with him but I did. We did have this amazing connection together. We were like fire together.”
What’s her relationship status now?
While appearing on Celebs Go Dating, she confessed that she was already taken. Here’s everything we know about her boyfriend Robbie Talbot.
Robbie was born in Liverpool on October 31, 1979 which is how he earned his nickname Halloween Hitman in football.
He has played for a series of non-league teams such as Burton Albion, Burscough and Morcambe.
