Helen Flanagan has lifted the lid on a near-romance with James Argent, opening up about an unexpectedly intense moment they shared in bed — before anything could truly begin.

The former Coronation Street star, 35, makes the candid admission in her new memoir Head & Heart: Break-ups, Breakdowns and Being Rosie, where she reflects on a time when emotions ran high — but something stopped her from going further.

Helen and Arg grew close while filming the 2013 reality series Celebrity Super Spa, which also featured celebrity chefs Rusty Lee and John Burton-Race, Shameless actor Jody Latham, and Most Haunted’s Yvette Fielding.
At the time, rumours of a romance between Helen and the The Only Way Is Essex favourite swirled behind the scenes — and Helen now admits producers were quietly hoping sparks would fly.

In her book, she recalls a “weird” but undeniably charged moment that took place in her hotel room.
