Actress Helen Flanagan revealed in her memoir that controversial influencer Andrew Tate messaged her on Hinge with a bizarre ask. The former Coronation Street star shared her surprise at the interaction following her 2022 split. Tate's team has denied the claims entirely.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot from Helen Flanagan's new memoir 'Head & Heart'! The 35-year-old actress, fresh off her breakup with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair (with whom she shares three kids), dipped her toes into dating apps like Hinge. But not every swipe right led to smooth sailing—she spilled that misogynist online personality Andrew Tate, 39, slid into her DMs after they matched.
In a juicy extract, Helen recounts Tate's message: “Sons?” alongside a heart emoji. Her reaction? "I was shocked but then I laughed. And before you ask, no of course I didn’t reply!" She admitted "not every interaction was welcome," keeping it real about post-split dating woes. But hold up—Tate's spokesperson clapped back to The Sun, saying: "Andrew denies the claims, which are entirely untrue." They even shaded it as a publicity stunt, claiming lesser-known figures often name-drop him during book promotions. Messy much? 👀
Helen didn't stop at Tate; she also dished on a near-romance with TOWIE's James 'Arg' Argent, 38, back in 2013 on the reality show 'Celebrity Super Spa' in Liverpool. The duo bonded hard, spending all their time together amid co-stars like Rusty Lee and Yvette Fielding. Producers nudged for sparks, hinting, 'Ah, you and Arg are so cute together...' But Helen was still hung up on Scott and unsure about Arg, who wasn't her sporty type—he'd devour four Greggs sausage rolls for breakfast! 😏
There was a fleeting vibe in her hotel room when Arg caressed her back, but she pumped the brakes: "I hadn't moved on from Scott so using Arg as a rebound would have been a mistake." No escalation, just friends. Iconic restraint! So, is Helen's memoir serving more shade or just clearing the air? Spill your thoughts below. 🔥
