FLIRTY and quirky Helen Flanagan has her sights set on an older, mature man in her hunt for a perfect partner.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, has been single for two years since splitting from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair, 35, father of their three children.
Helen, who played Rosie in Corrie, admits she needs help after online dating failures so has called in experts to work their magic.
She stars in a new series of Celebs Go Dating, where matchmakers pair stars with non-celeb partners.
Helen, who has also had two stints on I'm A Celebrity, says she brings her own brand of drama and chaos to the E4 show but is ready to date again.
And she certainly knows what she wants someone different to her past partners. She says: "I like an older man because I feel like they are more emotionally mature, a bit more sensitive.
"When I go on a date I like it to be with someone who's maybe been through divorce and who has kids because I feel like they understand me a bit better.
"I love funny guys, I feel like a good energy is important. The milf needs a dilf!"
Helen split from Bristol Rovers footballer Scott in 2022 after 13 years together. They have daughters Matilda, nine, and Delilah, seven, as well as son Charlie, five.
