Helen Flanagan is reportedly set to appear on Celebs Go Dating.
The news comes just months after the former Coronation Street actress split from her fiancé Scott Sinclair after 13 years together.
The former couple share three children – Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4 and Charlie, 1.
A source told The UK Sun: “Helen is the perfect candidate for Celebs Go Dating and E4 is hoping that she will agree to take part when they approach her for the new series.”
“She is a television pro thanks to her time on Corrie and is incredibly glamorous.”
“Helen would be the star signing for the show and the production team have put her name at the top of their wish list as they think she would be a hit with viewers.”
“Helen only split from Scott five months ago so it’s still very early days for her in terms of finding love.”
The source continued: “She is also a devoted mum to their three children and hasn’t had time to meet anyone new.”
“But the producers think that Helen may be open to dipping her toe back into the dating pool with the help of the the programme’s relationship experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson.”
“The show really does try and help the stars find love with people outside of their industry and Helen could take a lot from it.”
“They will pull out all of the stops for Helen if did take part.”
Helen and Scott’s split was first reported last November, after the soap star was spotted without her engagement ring.
The news came just weeks after Helen wrapped filming the All Stars version of I’m A Celeb in South Africa.
At the time, a source told The UK Sun: “Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.”
“They hit a rough patch in the summer and after she came back from South Africa their relationship ended.”
“Helen and Scott are committed to co-parenting their kids, even if they are no longer a couple.”
Earlier this year, the actress confessed that she and Scott had not shared a bed for several years — with Helen choosing to sleep with their children.
The source continued: “Helen turfed Scott out of their marital bed a long time ago because she co-sleeps with their kids.”
“Naturally it put a strain on their relationship over the years. Since their split, Helen has been spending a lot of time at her mum’s in Bolton.”
Helen, 32, started dating the Bristol Rovers player, 33, in 2009.
They’ve since welcomed three children together – Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, who was born last March.
The couple got engaged in 2018 and were set to wed in 2024.
