Celebs Go Dating star Helen Flanagan couldn't hold the tears back as she spoke about the 'throuple' rumours whilst she was dating David Haye.
The mum-of-three has been candid with viewers of the show, that she has found it hard to enter into the world of dating following her 13-year-relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair.
But in last night's episode (September 2), it wasn't that situation that got her emotional.

Dating experts Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn were asking Helen about the kind of relationship she had with sportsman David Haye.
The two met on I'm a Celebrity, and started dating when they came back to normal life.
Things quickly got difficult between the pair, when it was made known that David was in an open relationship with Sian Osbourne.
Re-visiting that time in her life on the dating show, Helen said: "It was quite something, it’s really hard for me to talk about it he had a girlfriend and an open relationship.
"I didn’t mean to fall in love with him but I did.
"We did have this amazing connection together. We were like fire together.
"It was weird. I think he does love his girlfriend but he loves me as well.
"It just brings me to a part of my life that was quite dark, really."
At the time of the romance, she admitted that she knew about the 'throuple' situation, but heavily denied being part of it, and that her and David went on a couple of dates alone.
She started seeing David following the long-term relationship with her footballer ex, and admitted she felt very 'lonely'.
Explaining how the 'situationship' played out, Helen admitted that she felt guilty towards Sian.
She said: "I had communication with his girlfriend, but I felt very guilty. I didn't feel nice about it all. It really upsets me because I don't mean to hurt other people but I was just really lonely."
Dr Tara stepped in to comfort her, reminding her that if Sian was okay with the two of them dating, then Helen had nothing to feel guilty about.
Helen added: "I was just really lonely.
"I found it really hard, you know?
"I found it really difficult, but obviously, if you sleep with someone for quite a long time you do fall in love with them, and I was just lonely and it just happened."
Helen said that she broke the 'situationship' off last December.
