Helen Flanagan<\/a> looked positively regal whilst attending the Chococo party on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old donned a red velvet dress at the London Fashion Week<\/a> event hosted by Chococo in partnership with fashion designer Josh Birch Jones<\/p>\n

The dress was strapless with a delicate silk hemline and featured a dramatic cathedral length train.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the event, the former Coronation Street<\/a> actress had her blonde waves neatly styled with a neutral smoky eye and a bold red lip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event comes as the mother-of-three spoke candidly about the difficulties of dating at the age of 35.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Helen Flanagan looked positively regal whilst attending the Chococo party on Saturday despite having recently opened up about her dating difficulties<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old donned a red velvet dress at the London Fashion Show event hosted by Chococo in partnership with fashion designer Josh Birch Jones<\/p>\n

Helen co-parents with her ex Scott Sinclair, 36, with whom she shares children, Matilda, 9, Delilah, 6, and Charlie, 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair split in 2022 after being together for 13 years and at the time Helen said ‘I don\u2019t see it as a break-up, I see it as a divorce’ due to having been together for so long, and having children together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking back Helen admitted that she did not process her emotions properly and focused on work whilst navigating ‘survival mode’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Helen revealed to The Mirror<\/a>, that she is open to dating again and is even willing to return to the television show Celebs Go Dating.<\/p>\n

She said: ‘Honestly, I absolutely loved doing it, it was one of my favourite shows and I literally had the best time and the best summer.’<\/p>\n

Helen’s main challenge at the moment though is the difficulty with dating at 35 in comparison to being 19, she said: ‘I\u2019m open to dating, but I\u2019m just so, so busy with the kids.’<\/p>\n

‘When you\u2019re 19 you can go out in Manchester and come home with a boyfriend a few days later, but I\u2019m 35 now, I\u2019m not really going to go on a night out am I, really?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also at Saturday night’s LFW party were cast members of the new reality TV series Real Housewives Of London – Amanda Cronin and Panthea Parker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amanda, 57, flaunted her assets with a blue sequin co-ord suit, with her blazer open displaying a black lace bra beneath.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Panthea donned a fuchsia coloured satin dress\u00a0 with a scarf-like neckline creating a high-neck finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
