HELEN Flanagan had fans talking as she posted a social media update with her new man.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, recently showcased her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot on reality series Celebs Go Dating.
Taking to Instagram, Helen shared a TikTok inspired by Lindsay Lohan’s film The Parent Trap.
Robbie lip-syncs to Dennis Quaid’s line “This is Meredith Blake” – referring to Elaine Hendrix’s gold-digging wife-to-be in the movie.
Helen then enters and sits on his lap while she winks at the camera.
Fans soon showed their support, as one commented: “This is great. You two look fabulous together, ignore the haters.”

Another added: “You make a lovely couple, I wish you all the best in the future xxx.”
A third chimed in: “He’s handsome, no idea his age but if they are happy leave them alone.”
While a fourth remarked: “It’s lovely to see her happy again.
“Whatever people think of her, she is a wonderful Mom to those beautiful children and deserves a life of her own too, so it’s good she’s met someone else.
“Hope they will be happy together.”
Originally, Helen entered Celebs Go Dating as a singleton and the agency set her up on various dates.
Mid-way through the series, the actress revealed she had a secret boyfriend – former professional footballer Robbie.
This prompted a change in direction for the remainder of Helen’s time on the E4 programme.
Rather than arrange more dates, the agency switched to doing relationship counselling for the pair.
A source said of the change-up: “Helen tried to keep the relationship under wraps because of Celebs Go Dating.
“But that’s become difficult as their feelings have grown for each other.
“It came to a head when she was quizzed by the dating agents about why she was failing to pursue connections on the show.”
It comes as Helen admitted things have fast-forwarded further in a surprising romance confession.
During a catch-up with social media star Ashley James, Helen revealed Robbie had stepped into the step-dad role with her three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
