Helen Flanagan was recently stood up on Celebs Go Dating and the episode prompted viewers at home to speculate she may be 'turning men off'.
The 34-year-old actress made her debut on the dating show last week alongside singer Jamelia, Gogglebox's Stephen Webb, Love Island's Chris Taylor and Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps.
During the episode, the celebrity singletons were required to attend a masked mixer and were challenged to get to know some of the attendees.
However, whilst waiting for her date, Helen received a call from dating agent Anna Williamson, 43, who revealed her date was going to be a no-show.
Anna told Helen: 'I'm just taking a phone call from Yus and I'm afraid to say he's really unwell, he's not going to be able to make it to the date today I'm afraid.'

The former Corrie actress seemed downhearted by the news that her date was not coming and viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to blast her dating game.
One viewer wrote: 'Oh, Helen it's not the kids that's a turn off. It's talking about your ex.'
While another added: 'Helen from Celebs Go Dating has a bad case of verbal diarrhoea.'
However, some fans took to Instagram to show their support for the star, commenting: 'You just gotta love Helen.'; 'She’s so lovely, bless Helen.'
It comes following reports that the mother-of-three has grown 'smitten with another footballer' two years after her split from ex Scott Sinclair, 35.
The blonde beauty separated from the Bristol Rovers player in 2022 after 13 years and share three children together.
She's currently trying to ease herself back into the dating scene by starring on Celebs Go Dating. However, it was reported that Helen enjoyed the company of another footballer at her 34th birthday party.
Helen celebrated at Manchester's MNKY HSE wearing a ruffled pink gown last week, with co-stars including Lauryn Goodman, 33.

This week it was revealed the actress was joined by former professional footballer and coach Robbie Talbot, 44, according to The Sun.
A source told the publication: 'Helen’s absolutely smitten. They look so good together. She deserves to be happy after everything she’s been through recently.'
'She’s tried to keep things out of the public eye, but that’s become difficult as their feelings have grown for each other.'
'Helen made no secret of her new relationship at her party, but it is still early days.'
MailOnline has contacted Helen's representative for comment.
In snaps from her Instagram stories, the actress gave a glimpse of her recent birthday celebrations.
One poster read: 'Helen is thirty 'f**king four', in front of which sat a pedestal laden with champagne glasses, with a sign that said: 'Cheers b***hes'.
Looking incredible in a ruffled gown she later kicked off her sparkly silver shoes and blew out the candles on her heart-shaped birthday cake.
Helen shares children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, three, with her ex, and this week admitted she felt 'invisible' during her relationship with the footballer as she fears no man will ever love her again.
Talking to the dating agents Anna and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, on Celebs Go Dating, Helen candidly explained: 'So I was with my ex... for about 13 years and we split about two years ago.'

'I think it was just we weren't right or compatible any more. I always used to feel quite invisible with Scott as if I was fighting for his attention. The arguments we would have were just really sad.'
Helen also confessed she fears no man will ever love her again due to her being a single mum.
Struggling through her tears she continued: 'I don't know if I feel like anyone's going to really love me.'
'I know my ex treated me bad but I knew he really loved me and I just feel like I don't know if because I have three kids if any man is going to see me as anything more than just sex.'
'I think it is my insecurity of being rejected. or a guy thinking "oh she's fit but I'm never gonna wife her because she's got three kids".'
