What David Haye actually said when asked about being in 'throuple' relationship

After Celebs Go Dating star Helen Flanagan last night broke down in tears whilst reflecting on her alleged 'three-way relationship' with David Haye, viewers have been left wondering what the former sportsman has to say on the matter.

Haye, 43, has reportedly been embroiled in several different 'throuples' over the years, often with fellow big-name stars.

Despite having been public with his long-term girlfriend, model Sian Osborne, for several years, the ex-professional boxer has been romantically linked to numerous other women.

Early last year, the father-of-one shared a holiday snap with partner Sian alongside bikini-clad The Saturdays singer Una Healy, sparking speculation that she was the newest member of the couple's controversial relationship.

Though neither Una nor David explicitly confirmed their romance, after sharing several pics together, the trio was believed to have separated.

Months later, it was rumoured that David and Sian had incorporated Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan into the mix after she and the sportsman appeared on I'm A Celebrity: All Stars together last year.

And though nothing was confirmed at the time, Helen last night broke her silence on their relationship, admitting though she was 'in love' with David, she refused to associate with a three-way romance.

When it comes to David's perspective on the notion of a 'throuple', whilst he has never named the women he and Sian have been intimate with, he didn't shy away from his relationship preferences.

Speaking to Pro Boxing Fans last year - when he was rumoured to be dating Una, alongside his long-time beau - he initially claimed he likes to keep his 'private life, private'.

"I let people in through my social media a little bit, but what I do behind closed doors is between me and the girls involved," he claimed.

"So yeah, I don’t really want to go into all that."

Speaking on the latest instalment of Celebs Go Dating, mother-of-three Helen, 34 - who ended her marriage to footballer Scott Sinclair last year, prior to her IAC appearance - reflected on her relationship with the former boxer.

"It was quite something, it’s really hard for me to talk about it he had a girlfriend and an open relationship," she tearily explained. "I didn’t mean to fall in love with him but I did.

"We did have this amazing connection together. We were like fire together. It was weird.

"I think he does love his girlfriend but he loves me as well. It just brings me to a part of my life that was quite dark, really."

Describing their romance as a 'situationship', she claimed she called it off in December last year out of guilt over Sian.

"I had communication with his girlfriend, but I felt very guilty," she admitted. "I didn't feel nice about it all.

"It really upsets me because I don't mean to hurt other people but I was just really lonely."
