    Helen, 33, looked stunning as she arrived at the Fashion Awards’ iconic venue, the Royal Albert Hall in London, in her lacy black gown. 
    Her dress featured a delicate and sheer lace bodice with a busty design. It connected to the long black maxi skirt via a cut-out lace corset, which showed off Helen’s toned waist. 
    She opted to let the dress speak for itself, pairing it with minimal accessories. 
    The former Coronation Street star carried no bag, but wore a silver bracelet and earrings which matched the sparkly silver heels which peaked out from underneath her maxi skirt.

    Helen’s makeup didn’t distract from the dress either, as she opted for a bronzed makeup palette and a nude lip. She chose to wear her blonde hair in a chic updo to show off the cut-out sections of the back of the dress. 
    The soap star bumped shoulders with A-listers like Anne Hathaway, Kate Moss and Amal Cooney at the swanky event. 
    Helen’s appearance at the Fashion Awards, which were presented by jewellery brand Pandora, comes the day after she dropped a massive hint that she’s met someone new after “mutually” splitting from Scott Sinclair last year. 
    She revealed that she had rejoined the dating scene last month, and now a social media post seems to confirm she’s found someone new.

    Helen replied: “How do you know what’s good for me?” before Matilda said back: “That’s my opinion!”

It’s not for u to “look sexy” your with your children be natural and be there mother. It just looks like ur modelling with other models… they are your children wheres the cuddles wheres the smiles and where is the love? The kids look ignored because the camera has your full attention…”

    With Hollyoaks legends Nick Pickard and former EastEnders Danielle Harold currently, in the Australian Bush, fans could be about to hear more explicit tales as they get comfortable with their campmates.
    Here we reveal some of the most eyebrow-raising sex confessions uttered by soap royalty over the years.
    Jorgie Porter

    Jorgie is best known for her role as cheating seductress Theresa McQueen on Hollyoaks.
    And the actress, 35, is just as sex-positive as her on-screen character, having made some cheeky bedroom confessions during her stint on I’m A Celeb in 2015.
    READ MORE ON TV
    Some of her admissions were so saucy that producers had to cut them out of the main show.
    They did appear, however, on its spin-off Get Me Out of Here…Now!, with Jorgie opening up about the different types of “self-love” she enjoys before exclaiming: “I’m going to regret this.”
    When quizzed about her sex preferences by camp mates Kieron Dyer and Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley, she also revealed she enjoys “slow” sex and likes to wear thongs to “separate my bum cheeks”.
    Prior to heading into the jungle, the actress used a rather X-rated excuse to avoid admitting she was training for Dancing on Ice before the show launched, joking to pals that she had been “taking it up the bum all week”.

    Since leaving Soapland, Charlie has focused her attention on making sex toysCredit: instagram
    EastEnders’ Charlie, 41, has come and gone from Albert Square over the years – and used one of her breaks from the soap to design her own sex toy.
    The Janine Butcher actress created a vibrator called The U which retails for £100 at Ann Summers.
    Announcing the launch, she said: “I was fed up of not feeling comfortable in my body. Realised I didn’t know enough about it, so I went on a journey of the body and mind.
    “It’s a powerful one, and I’d love U to go on one too. I’m no life coach or expert on ANYTHING, and I do NOT always get it right.

    “But I can share my experience. And maybe you’ll be inspired too. This is my baby… I’m so happy I can finally introduce you guys. I want you to meet U. I think you might like each other…”
    Earlier this year Charlie also signed up to a dating site that endorses “kinky sex, shared partners and threesomes” in a bid to find Mr Right.
    Stephanie Davis

    Corrie babe Stephanie, 30, is used to stripping off on camera for raunchy scenes as vamp Courtney Vance and Hollyoaks’ Sinead O’Connor.
    But in her personal life, she struggled with body confidence due to her “flat breasts”.
    She told OK! magazine: “They were so saggy… I think every mum can relate to that… I couldn’t wear nice tops in summer because I didn’t want to show how flat-chested I was.”
    Stephanie opted to undergo surgery to boost her chest, going from an A cup to a DD.
    Despite initially being pleased with the results, claiming they made her feel “so womanly” and “sexier”, Stephanie announced earlier this year she is planning to get the implants removed because they are too big.
    Adam Thomas

    Ex-Emmerdale and Strictly star Adam, 35, admitted his main worry when he did I’m A Celeb wasn’t the creepy crawlies or lack of food, but not being able to have sex.
    “I don’t know [how I’ll cope] because I’ve not gone longer than, well… no more than a few days,” he explained before flying out to the show.
    “I think I will struggle, but hopefully I will be alright – I won’t be too ratty.”
    The actor was also told by then fiancée Caroline Daly to steer clear of any bad boy behaviour.
    “She said, ‘Don’t mug me off.’ I think she means ‘Don’t flirt with the girls,’ I would have done it in the banter way – but I’m not allowed to banter, apparently,” he revealed.
    “I’m just going to swerve the ladies. You’ll just find me with the lads.”

    Coronation Street siren Helen was on our screens for over a decade but it’s her antics off-camera that left fans shocked.
    The mum-of-three previously revealed she has a large collection of lingerie and sex toys, including nipple tassels and a diamond-studded whip.
    She told The Sun’s TV Mag in 2014: “I have pretty much bought every set of underwear Agent Provocateur has ever made and most of it is in [ex Scott Sinclair’s] house.
    “I’ve got loads of stuff from nipple tassels to this amazing diamond studded whip from Agent Provocateur.
    “But it was getting so embarrassing when Scott’s mum was helping me clear out stuff and all you could see was underwear and this whip. I was getting really flustered, saying, ‘Honestly, I bought it for a shoot’.
    “And I did! But I kept it because I love it. Scott’s mum is lovely and she knows what I’m like so she just laughed.”
    The actress is no stranger to stripping down to her undies for a photo shoot and has been sharing racy snaps on social media since her split from footballer Scott.

    Ex-Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star Gemma, 39, is happily settled with Strictly Come Dancing pro-Gorka Marquez, but before their romance, she had some wild times.
    Former boyfriend Carl Benninon claimed he and the actress had romped in lots of bizarre places, including Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
    He told The People in 2007: “We pressed the button to stop the lift between floors and were in there for about 20 minutes having a lot of fun. It was mind-blowing.
    “Eventually, we heard some angry voices calling for the lift so we had to stop.
    “But as soon as we got into the flat we went straight out to the balcony again. We ended up making love until eight in the morning.”
    Despite her hedonistic past, Gemma recently opened up about having a low libido after welcoming her second child.
    She said: “[Gorka] was away for three weeks up until last weekend, and I’d had my six-week check by then, and she’d ok’ed me to kind of be intimate again with him again and stuff.
    “Part of me was thinking ‘Oh my God, I can’t be arsed, I’m so tired, I just want to have a bath’. But the other half was thinking, ‘It’s been so long’, because the last few months of pregnancy I was like, ‘Do not come near me’.”

    Coronation Street legend Beverley kept households entertained for decades with her portrayal of unlucky-in-love Liz McDonald.
    And fans were left gobsmacked when the 66-year-old claimed her husband was wild in bed while on ITV’s I’m A Celeb.
    “Jon’s very handsome, he’s a mega shag,” she told her shocked campmates.
    “He is a mega shag and he dances for me in the kitchen every morning and makes me laugh my socks off.”
    Bev and John McEwan have been happily married for over a decade.
    While the star admitted to being mortified at her proclamation, she has since come to see the funny side and now regularly jokes about it.
    Talking about John in less racy terms, Bev said: “He’s my soulmate and my best friend. He’s completely and utterly the love of my life.”

    The Loose Women panellist, 65, spared no blushes when she announced to the world that she was a “sexaholic”.
    “I like sex. What’s the problem with being a sexaholic? I just like sh*gging.”
    Denise went on to joke that she would have made a move on her former co-star Bill Roache when they were younger.
    Her comments came after he said he had bedded more than 1,000 women.
