Helen Flanagan has left Celebs Go Dating fans fuming after deviating from protocol on the show.
The ex-Coronation Street star is currently taking part in the new season of the show, alongside other famous faces including singer Jamelia and Made in Chelsea star Tristan Phipps.
Fans have been delighted by the new season so far, which has been filled with all kinds of dramas.
Earlier on in the season, mum-of-three Helen, 34, was seen getting emotional after she spoke about the 'throuple' rumours she had experienced whilst dating 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.
"It was quite something, it’s really hard for me to talk about it he had a girlfriend and an open relationship," Helen said.
"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."
During the current season of Celebs Go Dating, Helen has been on a number of dates, but ended up shocking viewers when she admitted she had found love with former footballer Robbie Talbot off camera.
On Tuesday's (10 September) episode, Helen and Robbie appeared on the sofa together, where they were quizzed by the experts.
When Paul asked Robbie how he felt about Helen kissing someone else, he said: “I think the important thing for me was that we had the conversation beforehand and we set out boundaries.
“I just said you’re not allowed to **** anyone off.”
Viewers at home were pretty fuming, with many accusing Helen of 'acting' throughout.
One person wrote: "Seems Helen and her man seem to have a good relationship. Pointless them being on."
While another said: “No different to an acting role where she has to kiss someone. Most of the celebs who appear in this show aren't really looking for love...it's a paid job for them."
And a third added: "So why is Helen still on the show?"
Meanwhile, a fourth said: "@helenflanagan1 you went on #celebsgodating even though you have/had a boyfriend at the time."
One of the dating experts, Anna Williamson, recently revealed to the Sun that Helen has a lot in store throughout the series.
Thought to be talking about the recent drama, Anna said: "Helen, I just love her.
"What I will say about her though - and I don’t want to spoil anything - but Helen has the biggest cliffhanger pivot of a storyline that we’ve ever had in Celebs Go Dating history.
"Helen nearly got thrown out of the agency two weeks ago. She did something huge which goes against all the rules of the agency."
Tyla has reached out to Helen's rep for comment.
