She also had a short-lived relationship with footballer Robbie Talbot that came to an end in May 2025.‌Though she's vowed never to date a footballer again and is concentrating on her kids and getting her acting career back on track, the 35-year-old revealed how she's "always been a romantic" and "boy mad" since she was 14.Posting a photo with her first boyfriend Danny, Helen shared how her ADHD can heighten her emotions, especially when she's in a relationship. She said: "I moved in with him when I was 17 and he could drive. It's always very intense and I fall in love hard. Doesn't mean that it's not genuine as at the time it is."‌Going on to talk about ex Scott, who she was engaged to but never walked down the aisle with, she continued: "My second boyfriend was my kids' dad who I was with for 13 years and I had his name tattooed at 19 lol."She then appeared to go on to reference her most recent ex Robbie, who she split from just over a year ago, and said: "Last time I had proper feelings for someone it just felt a lot. Intense."My friends say I'm like Cathy Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights lol. I get limerence and I also get terrible rejection sensitivity but I'm learning to deal with that better."‌Getting even deeper, Helen told her 1.1 million followers as she posed in lingerie and stockings: "When it comes to sex I'm not a casual girl - I'm a lover girl/wifey and I do get attracted. I think guys that ghost girls after sleeping with them are big rat fats lol."Sharing what type of guy she likes - or wants to meet in the future - Helen said: "I go for someone that I find exciting. I go for a soul connection. Someone that makes me feel understood. I look for the male version of me."‌Revealing how her ADHD affects her on a daily basis, Helen admitted she is "super messy" to the point where she doesn't even notice the mess until someone else points it out.She admitted she struggles with forms and admin tasks and has to get her dad Paul to help her with paperwork, like sorting her car tax and parking fines. "He basically keeps me out of trouble so I can be in society. He basically helps me with all my life admin. Long live Paul. Love you Dad," said Helen.Though she jokes that she often says "stupid s**", she says she's "definitely not stupid. I just have ADHD". Ending the post, Helen added: "I lose s*** all the time. Important stuff like passports, keys, bank cards. Basically a s*** adult. Anyway that's quite enough from me. Lol."Article continues belowFans and famous pals were quick to resonate.
