Watch as ‘very upset’ Celebs Go Dating expert SLAMS Helen Flanagan saying ‘She’s wasted my time and energy’
CELEBS Go Dating expert Paul Carrick Brunson has slammed Helen Flanagan after joining the agency when she had a secret boyfriend.
The former Corrie star was one of the famous faces who asked for Paul, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara for help to find love.
However half way through the series, Helen dropped the bombshell that she already had a man that she had fallen in love with.
Since then Helen and boyfriend Robbie Talbot have joined the agency for relationship advice.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast today, hosts Chris Stark and Sian Welby couldn’t help but bring up Helen’s antics.
Paul said: “Through the years, because I’ve been on this one for 9 series, through the years we’ve had rumours of celebs who have walked in with partners, but we never had the proof of it.
“But here’s Helen saying “yeah I’ve got a boyfriend, and I’m in love.” I was very upset. I was very upset.
“And the reason why, is we had wasted so much time and energy and she was out here kissing other guys!”
Sian replied: “On that first date! I saw it.”
“She’s encouraging them to gain emotions for her and that to me that was all kinds of wrongs,” Paul added.
Chris then asked: “So before then, was she treating it like an acting job? She was kissing other people, but she was playing the role in the agency . Is that how you kind of saw it?”
Paul said: “That’s exactly how I saw it.
“I was like, the only thing we get in this world is time. That’s the only thing we get is time and we know our time is limited.
“So it’s important we use our time towards things that we are passionate about.
“And I think of my energy the same way. I came here, I showed up, so I was thinking, man, this entire time for months, we’ve been expending energy on her and she’s been acting.
