"I really wanted to join the agency because I kind of felt like obviously, I was in a really long term relationship. Not much dating experience. And I really wanted to do this for me. For me to grow, to find out more about myself. But it's really hard, because there is somebody at home that I have fallen for.

"This is becoming quite difficult for me now, because unfortunately I am comparing everyone to him. And it's making it very difficult now when I'm dating."

Although Helen didn't name the man in question, she did reveal she was in love with him, and labelled him her boyfriend.

How can I watch old episodes?

All past episodes of Celebs Go Dating are available on Channel 4's streaming service.
