The mother-of-three has dipped her toes back in the dating pool following her split with ex Scott Sinclair - of whom she recently admitted to having a 'difficult relationship' with. 

Helen's glam gown featured a belt detail that cinched her in at the waist, with the actress teaming the outfit with barely-there gold heels. 

She looked chilled as she sipped a cocktail and soaked up the sunshine with a pal outside the London pub.

The actress has signed up for the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, two years after confirming her split with the footballer, a winger with League One club Bristol Rovers. 

It comes as she admitted that she has 'difficult relationship' with her ex Scott in a candid Instagram post as she said she was in tears over the weekend. 

The TV personality revealed the relationship she has with her former fiancé has been 'extremely emotionally draining while co-parenting'.

But as she shared snaps of her daughter enjoying their little dinner outing on Monday, Helen revealed she got a bit 'teary'.

Sharing a sweet video of her daughter Maltida listening to the harpist, she penned: 'Matilda and I had a girls day on Saturday. Matilda wanted to go to the beauty and the beast afternoon tea @waldorfhilton and it was so lovely x 

'I'm so proud of the beautiful girl Matilda is and how lovely and kind and fun she is and how well she adapts to change x I felt really emotional that day, a lot of personal things going on and it can be extremely emotionally draining co-parenting when you have a difficult relationship x 

'I couldn't book online for some reason and Matilda really wanted to go, I had bad mum guilt as I'm up and down from London for work at the moment and I wanted Matilda to feel loved and special.

'There was no tables available though and the couple behind me were so kind they could see how much my little girl wanted to go and they gave us their table ❤️x 

'If you see this thank you my little girl was made up xxx I left my phone to try and be more present and lots of chats and cuddles and her beautiful little face. 

'So grateful for Matilda, mummy got a bit teary but they were happy tears x I had therapy at the beginning of the year and I felt like I was able to come back to my natural self and not suppress my emotions and I let myself cry now x.

'I felt a little bit lost before I had Matilda, when I had my baby girl it gave me a feeling of purpose and inspiration x Whenever I'm stuck in a situation and don't know what to do, I think what would I want my daughter to do and I do that.'
