Helen Flanagan commented on speculations about David Haye’s “three”. The former Coronation Street actress, 35, was romantically linked to the retired boxer, 45, throughout 2023 before they split in December. There was speculation that she had formed a ‘triot’ with David and his girlfriend Sian Osborne, but she vehemently denied it.
Helen also revealed that she “fell in love” with David during their relationship and believes he “loves” both her and his girlfriend Sian. The TV actress has now revisited her previous romance in her recent autobiography, Head and Heart. Rejecting speculation about a “three”, she wrote: “I’m not a prude, but I was never interested in it – I liked David.”
Talking to Daily mailshe explained, “The relationship I had with David was just David alone. I would spend evenings with him, it just happened.”
When asked about belonging to the “three”, she firmly replied: “No, no, no, not at all.”
Discussing the occasion when she bought a Cartier Trinity bracelet for the boxer’s birthday and personally delivered it to his hotel, she became emotional.
She asked, “Did I put that in the book? Oh God, I’m really crying. I don’t know. I’m sorry. It’s really tough. It’s kind of embarrassing.”
Helen continued, “Why did I do it? Because I wanted him to love me properly.”
The mother of three also stated: “It was a very toxic situation. Since then, I have learned to love myself. To be a stronger woman.”
Helen previously called her affair with David a “situational condition.”

In an interview with Celebs Go Dating experts in 2024, she revealed: “It was something, it’s really tough for me to talk about it, he had a girlfriend and an open relationship.
“I didn’t want to fall in love with him, but I did. We had an amazing bond together. We were like fire together. It was strange.
“I think he really loves his girlfriend, but he loves me too. It just takes me back to a part of my life that was really gloomy.”
Following her split from former footballer Scott Sinclair, the father of her three children, Helen admitted she felt “very lonely”. After their breakup, it took her over nine months to start dating again.
She confessed: “I was in love with this man. I wouldn’t get any pleasure from watching the man I was in love with having sex with another woman. It wasn’t for me.”
Helen also expressed guilt towards Sian, who is in an open relationship with David, stating: “I didn’t feel good about it at all. I feel really bad about it and it really upsets me because I’m a nice girl, I don’t want to hurt people and I felt really, really bad about it.”
“I felt very guilty about it, but I just felt very lonely. It was really tough for me, you know? It was really tough for me, but obviously when you sleep with someone for a long time, you fall in love with them, and I was just lonely and it just happened.”
Helen and David first crossed paths in the jungle while working on I’m A Celebrity in 2012.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
