Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street actress, has officially signed up for the upcoming series of Celebrity Ex On The Beach, showcasing her ample cleavage as she embarks on this dramatic reality television journey. The 35-year-old star joins a star-studded lineup for the Paramount+ series, which includes TOWIE's Dani Imbert, 27, John Grimes, 34, from the twin duo Jedward, and Love Island's Toby Aromolaran.
Explosive Dating Show Filmed in Tenerife
The explosive dating show, filmed in the sunny location of Tenerife, will see Helen come face-to-face with her former flames. This could potentially include her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, with whom she shares three children after a 13-year relationship that ended in 2022, or even boxer David Haye. Earlier this year, Helen revealed in her autobiography, Head & Heart, that she fell 'deeply in love' with the former world champion, though their romance was complicated.
Helen's Search for Love in the Public Eye
Now embarking on another search for love, having previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating, Helen has openly discussed her hopes to settle down with someone in the public eye. She admits to fearing being taken advantage of outside the spotlight, highlighting the challenges of dating as a celebrity. Her participation in Celebrity Ex On The Beach marks a significant step in her personal journey, as she navigates past relationships and future possibilities.
Star-Studded Lineup and New Narrator
The latest series will also feature Married At First Sight UK star Amy Kenyon, 28, and Love Is Blind contestant Freddie Powell, 32. Comedian Daisy May Cooper joins as the show's new narrator, following in the footsteps of Iain Stirling and Rob Beckett. Amy, a wedding planner, is back on the dating scene after the collapse of her marriage to Luke Debono, who faced backlash for inappropriate comments during the show. At the dramatic final vow renewal, Amy told Luke he was not 'worthy' of her love, declaring their relationship 'done, dead, deceased.'
Dramatic Arrivals and Emotional Moments
Exes including Love Island's Curtis Pritchard, fresh from his stint on All Stars, and fellow Islander Ronnie Vint are set to make dramatic arrivals at the Spanish villa. Curtis first shot to fame on Love Island in 2019 and has since returned for All Stars in 2025 and again this year, still searching for a long-term partner. After romances with Maura Higgins and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu failed, he fell hard for Millie Court on the latest All Stars series, but when their relationship didn't progress, Curtis broke down in tears on screen, showcasing his emotional side.
Additional Contestants and Personal Stories
The lineup is rounded out by Too Hot To Handle's Izzy Fairthorne, 26, who is on the hunt for her first-ever boyfriend, and co-star Chase DeMoor, 29, returning for another shot at love. John Grimes, one half of Jedward, is embarking on his first-ever dating show experience, describing himself as a 'total catch' and looking for a 'curvy, self-assured woman' who can match his energy. Toby Aromolaran, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2021, hopes to find someone he can marry, inspired by his parents' 25-year relationship.
Freddie's Journey and Premiere Details
Former Love Is Blind star Freddie Powell, who famously chose not to wed Catherine Richards despite her saying 'I do,' is hoping to find a meaningful, lasting relationship. Catherine, now expecting a baby with her partner Jake Singleton-Hill, was left heartbroken when Freddie turned her down. Celebrity Ex On The Beach will stream exclusively on Paramount+ on Tuesday, March 31st, with new episodes released weekly, promising viewers a mix of drama, romance, and unexpected twists.
