This is the moment Helen Flanagan was first spotted having a flirty exchange with David Haye and his girlfriend Sian Osborne.

In May this year, MailOnline reported Helen was spotted deep in conversation with David and model Sian, sparking speculation at the time they could have been lining her up as the latest member of their throuple.

Former Coronation Street actress Helen, 33, took to social media this week to share a string of cryptic quotes about ‘falling in love’ amid reports she has joined former boxing champion David’s throuple.

Helen is said to have enjoyed a number of dates with David lately, while his long-term girlfriend Sian, 31, is reportedly fully aware.

In exclusive pictures obtained by MailOnline, Helen was seen chatting to David, who she met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2012, and Sian, at a Heineken after-party following a boxing event.

Onlookers revealed how Helen – who had been single since splitting from fiancé Scott Sinclair in July last year – was particularly enamoured by the pair, who previously welcomed The Saturdays singer Una Healy into their romance.

The Irish singer, 42, called time on the relationship in March, due to the negative attention it caused, which triggered David to announce an ‘unexpected opening in our team’, hinting himself and Sian – who he’s been dating since 2020 – were looking for someone new to join their throuple.

An onlooker said at the time: ‘After the boxing match, Helen was sat down in a quiet corner at the Heineken party.

‘David marched past the crowd with Sian straight to Helen, who looked happy to see them and gave them both a hug.

‘The couple were equally enamoured to be in her company. Their faces lit up seeing her.

‘David was smiling away at Helen who had been turning heads all night in her stunning outfit.

‘David and Helen have known each other for years after starring on I’m A Celeb together in 2012 and they had a lot to catchup on after Helen competed in the recent All Stars series.

‘They seemed very comfortable and happy to be in each other’s company, and there was some obvious flirting from both sides.’

When David and Helen met in the Aussie jungle, the boxer admitted that he thought the soap actress was a ‘real cute chick’ but said she ‘stunk of fake tan’.

Helen set tongues wagging after taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, sharing a quote which read: ‘I hope next year you fall in love with someone who makes you love the person you are when you’re around them.’

While a second read: ‘Your aura is gorgeous because you make souls feel seen, heard, validated, loved, understood, and supported.’

Former Coronation Street star Helen split from her Bristol Rovers footballer player ex Scott Sinclair last year after 13 years.

The source added: ‘Helen and David got on well in the jungle, and so have seen each other a fair bit over the years. But recently they seem to have really clicked and had that chemistry. They’re having a lot of fun together.’

MailOnline contacted representatives for both Helen and David for comment.

It comes after David and Sian added further speculation that they had entered into a new throuple with a stunning Italian model named Danielle.

David was first pictured looking cosy with Danielle in October, months after Una Healy claimed she was ‘hoodwinked’ into a ‘throuple’ with David and Sian.

And the couple fuelled the rumours as they both took to Instagram to wish Danielle Happy Birthday.

The I’m A Celebrity star uploaded a sizzling snap of the model in a plunging corset and added the caption: ‘Happy Birthday Dani’ alongside a red love heart and fire emojis.

Sian also shared a snap of herself and David enjoying drinks with Danielle with the caption: ‘Happy Birthday’.

In August, David shared a photo from Notting Hill Carnival as he partied with Danielle and Sian.

He captioned the snap ‘my girls’ as he thanked music legend Shaggy, who was performing at Carnival, for partying with the pair.

‘Big bro @DiRealShaggy Thanks for taking care of my girls. They had a great time! I owe you one!!!’ David wrote.

Sian later reposted a copy of the photo shared by Danielle, who has worked as a model for Canadian fashion brand LANGsura.

A representative for David was contacted by MailOnline for comment.

It comes after Una recently spoke out about her romance with David.

The singer said she wanted to put the rumours of being in the throuple ‘to bed’.

She revealed she had been looking for a monogamous relationship but decided to date polyamorous David because their romance was ‘casual, it wasn’t serious.’

Yet David soon introduced Sian into the fold, insisting the ladies got to know each other while inviting her to come away on holiday with Una.

Although the trio enjoyed an initial short getaway in Morocco together it was on a second trip to Costa Rica that Una realised she could no longer be part of the relationship.

While in Central America she was given a ‘sign’ when she heard the track The Boy Is Mine by Brandy and Monica, a song about two love rivals feuding over a man.

Una confessed: ‘As soon as I got there, I could hear the song. It just wasn’t right.

‘There’s no dynamic there – she’s not my girlfriend – he’s both our boyfriend and I just thought, “I’m out, you can have him.”

However, Sian appeared question Una, according to The Sun, which reported that Sian shared a dictionary definition of the word hoodwinked – in relation to Una’s bold claims.

Next to the beaming snaps from November 2022, she wrote: ‘Hoodwink: verb to deceive or trick someone’.

‘A liar weaves a tangled web, trapping themselves in a labyrinth of deceit.

Before adding: ‘When we embrace truth, we align ourselves with the harmonious order of the universe.’
