HELEN Flanagan was dangerously close to being booted off Celebs Go Dating after breaking a strict show rule.
The mum of three is searching for love on the E4 show after splitting from her fiance footballer Scott Sinclair.
With filming already underway, Helen’s journey almost came to a sudden end two weeks ago.
Dating agent Anna Williamson told The Sun: “Helen, I just love her.
What I will say about her though – and I don’t want to spoil anything – but Helen has the biggest cliffhanger pivot of a storyline that we’ve ever had in Celebs Go Dating history.
“Helen nearly got thrown out of the agency two weeks ago. She did something huge which goes against all the rules of the agency.”
Refusing to give away more hints, Anna added: “I’m not just saying it, I think this is one of my favourite series we’ve done in a long time.
“Put it this way I’m filming scenes at the moment that I feel like I’m a viewer watching on the telly.
“I’m going, ‘what? Huh?’
“Just when we thought things started to get a bit more tame towards the end of series, it’s just pivoted and ramped up more. To the point where I need a serious spa holiday after this series.”
Joining former Coronation Street star Helen on the upcoming series are Gogglebox alum Stephen Lustig-Webb and pop star Jamelia.
Also joining the fray are Love Island’s Chris Taylor, Made In Chelsea star Tristan Phipps and Married At First Sight’s Ella Morgan.
And as well as a major rulebreak, viewers can expect to see plenty of tears on the show as celebs break down over their past relationships.
Anna added: “I don’t know what it is with Paul and I, scary or not, we hope they feel the love and space, but they all tend to come in sit down and burst into tears.
“It is real therapy, but it’s also on the telly.
“Every single one of them has shed more than one tear on several occasions.”
