Former Coronation Street favourite Helen Flanagan was quick to steal the show at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards as she walked the red carpet in a vivid pink ballgown that oozed Hollywood glamour
As the stars stepped out in force on Monday evening to celebrate the annual Pride of Britain Awards, ex-Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan came dressed to impress as she headed up the red carpet in a stunning pink silk gown that perfectly skimmed her flawless figure. The 34 year old actress, who recently took part in Channel 4 dating show Celebs Go Dating, stepped away from her mum duties for a few hours for the annual awards bash, to don the eye-catching gown by designer Josh Birch Jones.
Alongside the vibrant fuchsia gown, which featured a bandeau neckline that showed off her collarbones and well toned arms, Helen completed her look with a bouncy blonde blow-dry and bold statement earrings. She also amped up the glamour with a statement lip in a complimentary mauve shade, while keeping the rest of her makeup look low-key.
The latest outing comes after Helen recently revealed she had finally found love again after splitting from her ex-partner Scott Sinclair. The couple, who had been together for 13 years decided to part ways back in 2022, but have remained good friends and continue to co-parent their three children. After enjoying the single life for two years, Helen was finally able to find love with new beau Robbie Talbot, who it turns out she was already dating even while appearing on Celebs Go Dating.

News of the romance emerged back in September, as it was revealed Robbie had moved into her family home in Lancashire after a whirlwind eight month relationship.The construction firm boss, 44, has fitted perfectly into the young mum’s life, and is regularly seen playing in the park with her children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three.
Helen crossed paths with Robbie at Alderley Edge in February, shortly before she inked her deal to appear on E4’s Celebs Go Dating. Despite some clear chemistry brewing, Helen made the decision to take part, and even locked lips with a few suitors before deciding that Robbie was the man of her dreams.
“I’d always wanted to do the show, it was a great opportunity,” Helen explained to OK! Magazine. Robbie shared his understanding of the situation, commenting: “We weren’t serious at that point, we were just dating. And we communicated the whole way through. I knew all along what was happening.”
Eight months on from the show’s airing, Helen couldn’t help but praise her partner, saying: “I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s not only a lovely man, but he’s really, really funny. And he had the balls to chat me up! Usually, I don’t get that, but he has so much confidence. And he really takes care of me.”
The couple have even teased looking towards the future and adding to their family, which also includes Robbie’s children Sophie, 14, and Carina, 10, from a previous relationship.
Helen confessed: “I’m always broody. But my pregnancies have always been hard. I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum, so I get really terrible sickness. When I was pregnant with Charlie I had such guilt, even now, about not spending enough time with the others because I was poorly. But still, I can’t help but be broody. I love babies.”
The Pride of Britain Awards will broadcast on ITV at 8pm on Thursday October 24
