The actress, who is a mother of three, split from her fiancé, British footballer Scott Sinclair, in 2022, but she hasn’t given up on finding new love.
Participating in the new season of Celebs Go Dating, Helen enjoyed a romantic dinner with Luke, which was her first date on the show.
During the date, she challenged him to a staring contest, stopping to gaze deeply into his eyes. “You can’t laugh, you already failed,” she said.
“You just blinked,” he pointed out, and she repeated, “I just blinked,” before leaning in for a kiss. After pulling away, she asked, “Did you mess up my makeup?” before wiping foundation off Luke’s face.
Recently, Helen has stated that she is using her participation in the new season of the show to inspire other single mothers to get back into dating and seek new romances.
“When I signed up for Celebs Go Dating, I thought it could be quite interesting to make mothers think about going out on dates,” she told Daily Star.
“I would love it if a mum saw me on the show and it made her give it a try. I want them to think, ‘Helen is doing it, maybe I can too,’” added the model.
