'This is irritating' - Helen Flanagan

She's set to come face-to-face with a series of gruesome jungle critters in merely a matter of days.
But Helen Flanagan already seems to be finding her I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here experience somewhat stressful.
The 22-year-old actress was said to have 'thrown a strop' as she touched down in Australia on Tuesday, and was promptly greeted at a Queensland airport by a group of fans trying to take her picture.

Refusing to confirm whether or not she was taking part in the ITV1 reality show, the former Coronation Street star was reportedly overheard branding the situation 'irritating'.

The Sun newspaper quotes Helen being overheard as saying: 'I’ve just got off a two-day flight and I’ve got people coming towards me.'
The blonde bombshell was then whisked away to her five-star hotel in a waiting car, where she will be based until she enters the jungle later this week.

Helen - who shot to fame as a child when she landed the role of Rosie Webster in Corrie - recently opened up about her battle with depression and panic attacks.
Speaking to Reveal magazine this week, she said: 'I’ve suffered from depression. It was the main reason I had to leave Coronation Street. I was down and it was very intense - I don’t think I was very well.'
When she enters the Australian jungle later this week, Helen will be joined by the likes of boxer David Haye, fellow soap babe Charlie Brooks, former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts and Made In Chelsea's Hugo Taylor.

Michelle Keegan steps out for dinner sporting a schoolgirl look

We're used to seeing Michelle Keegan in daring little outfits and on Saturday it was no different.
The Corrie star stepped out for a night out with her cousin in Manchester dressed in her usual figure flaunting style.
Heading to dinner at Rocco Restaurant, the 25-year-old seemed to embrace the schoolgirl look as she stepped out in little more than a pair of grey knee-high socks.

Despite the fact that temperatures were near freezing on the cold November evening, Michelle opted to bare her legs, wearing nothing but the schoolgirl socks.
She teamed up the old school fashion item with a black mini dress that made good use of showing off her toned and tanned pins.
The soap star finished off her Saturday night outfit with a beige mac coat, red leather bag and laced-up suede black boots, as she happily posed with her cousin outside the restaurant.

The Coronation Street actress also appeared to have made an effort with her make-up, wearing a dark shade of lipstick and leaving her long brown locks down.
All-in-all she looked like she could be auditioning for a part in a high school movie.
Her female companion also wasn't afraid to face the cold, as she also opted to step out without tights on.

Michelle seems to embrace the nightlife again after her dramatic split from ex-fiance, The Wanted-singer Max George, four months ago.
The actress recently admitted she's already tired of the single lifestyle already and is keen to go out and find a new man.
'I’m ready to meet someone new now. I have been upset for a long time but it’s about time I met the right guy,' she told the Daily Star last month.

Bosses of the ITV1 jungle-based reality show are said to be 'delighted' with the line-up for the series, which kicks off next weekend and features a somewhat diverse range of stars.
Helen, who quit her role as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street earlier this year, will face another soap beauty in the form of Charlie Brooks as she takes a six-month break from playing Janine Butcher in EastEnders.
And the other stars include the likes of boxer David Hayes, ex Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts, while ex-Made In Chelsea star Hugo Taylor is also said to be preparing to head Down Under.

Helen Flanagan opens up about her 'intense' battle

She's going to have to cope with her fair share of trials and tribulations when she enters the jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! on Sunday.
But while all the famous faces in the jungle will be struggling with the extreme circumstances, Helen Flanagan will be suffering more than others.
The pretty actress has opened up about her battle with panic attacks and depression in a new interview with Reveal magazine, adding that the mental health issue was one of the main reasons for her quitting her role as Rosie Webster in hit ITV soap Coronation Street.

She said: 'I’ve suffered from depression. It was the main reason I had to leave Coronation Street. I was down and it was very intense - I don’t think I was very well.'
However, Helen is fully aware that opening up about her battle with depression might leave her open to some negative criticism - given that she lives in a huge £6,500-a-month mansion with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair.
She said: 'People will think I’m an ungrateful cow.

'Like, what’s so bad about my life that made me depressed? I have a good job, money, this and that.'
Helen recently moved into a stunning new home with Scott, but said that if his football career took him away from Manchester, she isn't sure if she would go with him.
She said: 'If he moves again, it's not certain I'll come. I love him, but I'm my own person. Like, if I wanted to move to London for my career and he was still in Manchester, we'd make that work too.
'I won't just follow him around wherever he goes. We've done long distance before and actually It was quite romantic.
'We got on so well because the time we had together was limited, which made special.'
And while Helen is certainly making the most of her new WAG lifestyle, regularly seen out shopping in Manchester, she insists that she is spending her own money and not her boyfriend's hard-earned cash.
She said: 'Scott earns his money and I earn mine. When you see me shopping, I'm buying my own things.
'Being called a WAG isn't frustrating, I'm proud of my boyfriend, but I'm never going to be a stay-at-home housewife.'
