Helen repeatedly told the guys - who she had never met before - that she wasn't wearing knickers and had "sweaty boobs".
She also made a beeline for another potential suitor, not realising he was gay.
The new series of Celebs Go Dating kicked off on Monday evening and Helen was seen making her entrance alongside singer Jamelia, Gogglebox's Stephen Webb, Love Island's Chris Taylor and Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps.
The famous singletons were sent along to a masked drinks evening and challenged with chatting up the attendees.

Helen wore a slinky red dress to the event and quickly began chatting to the various men there.
But while standing with Jamelia, she told two fellas: "It's hot isn't it? It's really, really, really hot.
"I feel like I've got sweaty boobs now and I can't wear any knickers with this dress because it would get a line."
Helen has decided to try her luck on Celebs Go Dating following her split with her fiancé Scott Sinclair in 2022.

The couple welcomed three children during their 13-year relationship but have gone their separate ways.
However, Helen says she is "rubbish at dating" as a result of emerging from a long-term romance in her mid-30s.
She told The Sun: "I was with my ex fiancé, the father of my three children, for 13 years.
I'm rubbish at dating after 13 years with my ex-fiance - but I still dream about my wedding day, says Helen Flanagan - who admits she’s even planning her dress
"So I'm not surprised they said that I was really rubbish at dating.
"I've been with my ex since I was 19 until I was 31 and then I came out of the relationship with three children.
"I'm not surprised I'd be a rubbish dater!"
Helen concluded that she's more of a long-term person than a dater, adding: "I definitely think I'm more of a relationship girl."
Celebs Go Dating coach Anna Williamson has also said Helen needs to 'work out her chat' and find some inner-confidence to snare herself a man.
"This is the first time in Helen's life ever that she’s been on her own," Anna said.
This is the first time she has been a mature adult but she's in the wilderness and she’s confused. She is so strong and successful in other areas of her life, but not he love life.

"Of course, you don't know who you are or how to date; you've spent 10 years - your entire twenties, when most people are doing a lot of their sh*gging and mistakes - in a relationship.
"Your 20s are a time for experimentation with no pressures, typically. Your 30s - more responsibility. She is doing it the other way around, so it’s completely reasonable that she’s feeling like a fish out of water."
Anna added: "I have lots of friends - I am 42 - lots of my friends are divorced now and remarrying.
"Helen is a textbook case. 'I am out of a relationship will anyone want me? I haven't had sex with another man for donkey's years. Who am I?’"
