Helen Flanagan suffered an awkward encounter when she introduced her new boyfriend to a Celebs Go Dating agent on Tuesday.
The former Coronation Street star, 34, revealed her new man to receptionist Tom Read Wilson after debuting him on Monday’s episode.
The actress shocked viewers last week when she revealed she had a secret boyfriend despite taking part in the dating reality show.
The star confessed that she had been dating Robbie Talbot, 44, and her admission shocked her co-stars and the show’s dating experts.
Helen revealed to the hosts: “I think I’m in love with him” in a tearful confession.

Helen’s new partner Robbie Talbot, 44, has become a larger-than-life character since the star revealed it in a shocking, tearful confession.
Following her confession, love guru Paul Brunson said in a confessional: ‘Helen has not only wasted our time, but everyone else’s time as well.
“We need to hear the whole truth about why you have kept this from us. And if we are not happy with your response, it is time for you to leave the agency.”
Back at the office, Helen revealed: “I know I can’t date, but I’d like to stay at the agency and do some therapy, by myself.”
After that, she started crying while waiting for the experts’ decision.
They thanked her for being honest and told her they can work through anything, before Paul, who came down harder after the revelation, gave her a hug.
He told Helen: “I applaud this. I appreciate it. This is all I wanted.”
And following Helen’s candid admission, her new man was welcomed onto the show and after his appearance on Monday’s episode, the former footballer met some more familiar faces on Tuesday’s instalment.
In the episode, Robbie and receptionist Tom had a flirtatious exchange while the new couple sat in the waiting room.

The 34-year-old former soap opera actress, who recently confessed her love for the amateur footballer, was left baffled when her new man (pictured) harshly criticised her cooking skills.
While the three were chatting, Tom asked Helen’s boyfriend what he did for a living, to which Robbie replied that he was “on constriction.”
Adopting a cheeky tone, Tom replies, “Would I recognize any of your erections?”
Robbie, apparently embarrassed, quickly said, “No, I don’t think so!”
Helen’s new partner has become a larger-than-life character after criticising the actress’s cooking skills.
In an earlier episode, while sitting in a plush restaurant, Helen and Robbie began chatting about how the Coronation Street star could improve his cooking skills as he confessed that his spaghetti bolognese tasted “like cat food”.
“You can’t cook love. No, I swear. I came to your house and you told me you were going to cook me spaghetti bolognese,” Robbie began.
‘So, spag bol, there was no spaghetti, there was no garlic bread, there was no parmesan. It was just ground beef.
“It was like cat food.”

Helen shares Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, three, with her ex, and last week admitted she felt “invisible” during her relationship with the footballer.
Helen, who didn’t seem impressed by the comment, snapped, “You know what? I always make sure you’re not hungry.
“I always feed you. I only give you the food I give to my children.”
The comments were made as part of a challenge posed by the experts, who asked them to discuss things they didn’t like about others.
Earlier in the episode, Helen made a shocking confession to Robbie, the first to appear on the show.
Holding a drink in her hand, she said, ‘Basically, I told the agency the truth about me and you,’ to which Robbie replied, ‘Oh yeah?’
“So they want to know if you would come with me to the agency, as my boyfriend,” she questions.
“What do you mean?” Robbie asked, perplexed, to which Helen replied, “As if he were coming to see the agents with me, as my boyfriend.”
Robbie continues: “So what?”, to which Helen replies: “I don’t know, I think they just want to meet you.”
