Helen Flanagan reunites with her Coronation Street co-star Ryan Thomas at the NTAs

Helen Flanagan reunited with her former Coronation Street co-star Ryan Thomas at the NTAs on Thursday, and shared a photo of the couple on Instagram from the event.

The actress, 32, looked sensational as she flashed her legs in a purple dress with a daring high slit and a side cutout for an extra flash of skin.

Ryan and Helen, who previously played lovers Jason and Rosie in the ITV soap, seemed upbeat as they posed for the radiant photo.

Celebrity Big Brother’s former roommate cut a neat figure in a black suit and bow tie, which he wore with a white shirt.

In addition to a laughing emoji, the former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here star wrote in her caption: “Rosie and Jason. Nice to see you @ryanthomas84.’

At the ceremony, held at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, Helen denied that she will be part of the upcoming I’m A Celebrity: All Stars series.

The TV personality, who appeared on the show in 2012, said it would have been too hard for her to leave her three children behind.

Speaking to MailOnline as to whether she was participating, she said, “Oh no, I don’t think it’s for me. It would have been too hard to leave the children behind too.’

This year’s NTAs were broadcast live from the brand new venue, hosted by Joel Dommett.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were booed by some audience members at the National Television Awards when This Morning was announced as a contender for the Best Daytime Award.

The presenters found themselves at the center of the ‘queue’ controversy’ in September when they were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state, which they both denied.

Despite the criticism the broadcasters received, the show still won the Daytime gong, with Phillip saying the award “means so much to us every year, especially this year.”
