I’m A Celeb fans U-turn and ‘apologise’ to Helen Flanagan

During Monday night’s instalment, Carol Vorderman informed the camp that it was time for Helen Flanagan, Myleene Klass and Amir Khan to take on that day’s Bushtucker Trial.

Before leaving the camp, Helen promised her fellow co-stars that she wanted to try her best not to fail as she did during her stint back in 2012.

As the three campmates made their way to the Bushtucker Trial area, presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed it was the highest in the show’s history.

The aim of the trial was for all three campmates to climb to the top of their individual cranes and collect the 11 stars scattered about.

To Ant and Dec’s surprise, Helen stormed out onto the front of the first plank and was the first to collect her star, followed by Myleene and then Amir.

Throughout the trial, the girls were way ahead of Amir and ended up being the ones waiting for him at the top of the cranes.

As they finished the trial and came back down to solid ground, Ant and Dec praised Helen for her performance with the former Coronation Street star relishing in her glory.

It wasn’t just Ant and Dec and Helen’s campmates who were impressed with Helen’s performance, as viewers of the ITV show took to their Twitter accounts to praise the actress.

@hannahfun1 exclaimed: “Helen absolutely smashed that trail, I’m so proud of her #ImACeleb.”

@BeddoesJill commented: “Wow! Well done Helen. She has got a completely different mindset. She will feel so proud of herself and rightly so. #ImACeleb.”

Ryan Glendenning added: “Helen really has had the ‘Full Circle’ #ImACeleb experience. The growth she has shown since her first outing in the jungle is amazing. Well done @helenflanagan1 you really are such a warrior. Your family would be proud of what you’ve just done.”

@Sazzyness penned: “Love how far Helen has come since she was last in the jungle! Going from being too scared to do anything to smashing the highest trial ever! She’s really proving herself this time around! #ImACeleb.”

@Shannon_xoxo noted: “Fair impressed with Helen. She definitely wins ‘most improved campmate’ If she carries on like this I wouldn’t object to her winning the whole thing! #ImACeleb.”

Traylor Holmes said: “Gotta say Helen Flanagan absolutely killed that #imacelebrity #ImACeleb.” (sic)

Not only were the celebrities treated to a full meal after the success of the trial, but they also got the treat of seven brownies after working together in the mini challenge of the day.
