Helen Flanagan shares sweet snaps with 'stepdaughter' on date night with boyfriend Robbie Talbot
Helen Flanagan has shared a string of sweet snaps as she enjoyed a night out with her boyfriend Robbie Talbot and his young daughter. Helen, 34, has been dating Robbie, 45, since the beginning of the year, but the pair only went public with their romance on Celebs Go Dating in August.
Proving that their relationship is going from strength to strength, former Coronation Street actress Helen posted photos of them enjoying a dinner at The Ivy restaurant as she gushed over Robbie's little girl. "In my feminine energy (my bfs little girl is so beautiful)," she wrote on Instagram.
In one picture, Helen, who is wearing a leopard print top, is seen sitting on Robbie's lap as he kisses her on the cheek. Another shows her smiling alongside his daughter, while a third shows the three of them posing for a mirror selfie.

Robbie is dad to two daughters Sophia, 14, and Carina, 10, from a previous relationship, while Helen shares three children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, there, with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair.
Robbie clearly has a close relationship with Helen's kids, too, as she recently posted photos of them out together for her birthday. Sharing some unseen snaps from August, she wrote: "Some pics I never posted from my birthday. Some of the pics."
Opening up about their family dynamic, Helen told OK!: “Robbie has his kids four times a week, which for me is a huge green flag. He’s a great daddy. And our kids all get along so well. Carina and Matilda are the same age and are so cute together, and I consider myself a friend to Sophia, we have great chats. For me, the most romantic thing Robbie could do is be kind to my kids. He tucks them up at night and reads them bedtime stories. To me that means so much more than flowers or chocolates.”
The pair met in February at a restaurant in Alderley Edge, just days before Helen signed a contract to appear on E4’s Celebs Go Dating. While on the show, she eventually admitted she was in a secret relationship with former footballer Robbie. She said: "Unfortunately I am comparing everyone to him [Robbie]. And it's making it very difficult now when I'm dating."
Helen added: "My feelings have just got stronger and more intense. I actually could see something with this guy at home being something really quite lovely I think I am in love with him." It came after her split from fiancé Scott, 35, in 2022 after 13 years together.
