After confirming that she’s signed up to join the latest Celebs Go Dating line-up, friends of actress Helen Flanagan are reportedly “worried” it could be the wrong move at the wrong time.
The former Coronation Street star said last week she was “very excited to be joining the agency this summer” after opening up about her traumatic mental health battle earlier this year, which caused her to experience a terrifying psychotic episode and take two months off her social media while she recovered.
The 33-year-old revealed her slide into psychosis was partly caused by a reaction to prescribed ADHD medication but also by unresolved heartbreak over the split from her footballer ex Scott Sinclair, who is the dad of her three children.
Our source said Helen’s pals are concerned that the high-profile dating show, which will see her paired up on dates with suitors chosen by its dating experts, isn’t the right move for her so soon after her recovery.
“Helen’s friends are worried about her doing a show like Celebs Go Dating because they think she’s still in a vulnerable situation,” a source told new.
“She always wears her heart on her sleeve, so her friends don’t think it’s a good idea for her to do this sort of reality show right now.”
The hit E4 show involves dating gurus Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson pairing up celebs with members of the public.
