Helen Flanagan vows to quit I'm A Celebrity

She has already been locked in a coffin (briefly) with bugs and forced to eat gruesome culinary 'treats', but Helen Flanagan has finally had enough after she faced up to her third Bushtucker Trial.
The 22-year-old former Coronation Street star will be seen attempting yet another trial on Thursday night's episode of the ITV series, and has even threatened to quit the show if the public vote for her to undertake another gruesome task.
Dubbed Cruelty Towers, the task will see Helen have to work her way through the hotel's rooms collecting up to ten stars - with each star representing a meal for the camp.

But unsurprisingly, she was not alone in the hotel.
Joining her in the room was a host of jungle critters including an ostrich, spiders, snakes and a crocodile.

Some parts of the task will see her plunged into darkness, with Helen forced to use a torch to navigate through the treacherous rooms.
Desperate to make a good impression after coming up empty handed from the first two tasks, she appeared to be in a fighting spirit before the task.

She told hosts Ant and Dec: 'I want to make a good impression with everybody else.  I’m actually looking forward to it.  I really want to do this.'
However, her defiance seemed to waver, with her threatening to walk out on the show.
She said: 'I need a few minutes. I’m scared. It just makes me want to go home.  If they’re going to keep do this to me every single day I want to go home.  I just really want people to stop voting for me.  I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to do it.'
Befriending an Ostrich in the first room, which she soon named Olly, the actress tried to put on a brave face as she plucked up courage for the task.

Viewers will have to tune in at 8.30pm on ITV1 to see how she fares.
But it would seem the soap beauty's diva behaviour is already have worn thin with both bosses and the show's presenters, Ant and Dec.
Laura Whitmore, who hosts the Get Me Out Of Here Now! reaction show, has branded Helen's decision to quit the first trial within seconds as 'annoying'.
According to The Sun, she is quoted as saying: 'Ant and Dec have lost patience with her and I think most of the crew hate her since she bailed out of the Bug Burial Trial.

'Months of preparation, health and safety checks goes into those trials. So to do all that and have Helen walk away after just ten seconds is annoying.'
And she claimed Helen's threats to leave the show is pure 'attention-seeking'.
Laura added: 'Helen was never going to walk off. She was just saying it for someone else to say, "No, stay.". It was attention-seeking.'
In other jungle goings, the merging of the two camps has unsurprisingly seen some moaning about other contestants.

Hugo Taylor opened up to David Haye about Nadine Dorres taking over cooking duties earlier this week, moaning: 'She was cooking what we had.  She was f*****g it up in the most major way just destroying these birds.  She won the trial so it’s fine she can cook the way she wants.
'She just went "no" and snapped at me. I hate being shouted at by anybody, especially when I’m tired and hungry.  I literally had to bite my lips so hard.  Now any words that come out of her mouth are infuriating.'
However, Haye later told the Bush Telegraph: 'I’ll take it on board what Hugo said abut Nadine but I won’t judge her on that, that’s his personal beef with her .
'He may have said or done something that rubbed her up the wrong way.  Only thing I can do is give her the benefit of the doubt.  I’ll form my own opinions on the experiences I have with each individual.

Balotelli drops into Rovers Return in a visit to Corrie

With rumours abounding that Luis Suarez could be heading down the M62 from Liverpool in January, it looks increasingly likely that troubled Mario Balotelli could be on his way out at Man City.
But while the Premier League will miss his terrific goals and temper tantrums, it seems the blue half of Manchester will miss the man himself even more, having taken Super Mario to their hearts.
It's a shame, because this Man About Town seems to be right at home and knows all the Mancunian landmarks, from the cobbles of Coronation Street to the Castlefield canals.
To mark the launch of the Ballotelli bobblehead figurine, out just in time to be the perfect Christmas stocking filler for any young (or old) City fan, mini Mario's been on a little tour.
He's been spotted outside the Rovers Return, the famous pub in ITV soap Coronation Street, on the Lowry bridge in the city centre and grabbing a bite to eat at San Carlo, the award-winning restaurant.
And his 'Why Always Me?' t-shirt was appropriate when forced into battle with some Daleks at the Museum of Science and Industry.

The wacky figurines are part of a set of six, priced at £15 apiece, with Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany, Joe Hart and boss Roberto Mancini also available.

The real Balotelli found it hilarious when he came face-to-face with his plastic alter ego at the club's Carrington training ground this week.

No doubt he's added it to his Christmas wish list.

Bobbleheads seem to be enjoying a surge in popularity this year, with the City figurines hot on the heels of a West Ham collection featuring owners David Gold and David Sullivan, and Hammers star Mark Noble.

She told teammates how she once stayed at a hotel and thought that she’d found a man under her bed – only to discover that she’d seen her own reflection in a mirror.
Then Helen told a tall tale about a hotel stay where she spotted a robe that £100 pounds to wear  - not realising that she would only be charged if she bought it.
Before entering the show, she admitted having no problems doing taking showers in the jungle.
Helen said: 'I’m quite confident so probably! It wouldn’t bother me.'
She also revealed: 'I have been doing Bikram yoga with a trainer because I know millions of people are going to see me in a bikini.'

Helen Flanagan shows off her figure in THAT swimsuit

n the 2006 series of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here, Myleene Klass famously took a jungle shower in a tiny white bikini, which catapulted her into a star with bikini campaigns and her own lingerie brand following suit.
And it seems Helen Flanagan can't wait to get a piece of the action too.
The former Coronation Street star has not yet entered the Australian outback to compete in the new series of I'm A Celebrity, but she's already posed in the infamous tiny white bikini.

Apart from the tiny white suit, the former Corrie-star also posed in a blue printed bikini.
With her hair in a bun and appearing fresh-faces with minimal make-up, Helen looks seductively in the camera as she frolics in the ocean and the sand.

While being on the show, the star will have to miss her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair, which is what she's worried about the most.

Caribbean's Most Wanted: Single lady Michelle Keegan

She's one of the sexiest female soap stars of the moment and is often handed awards for looking good.
So it's hardly surprising Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan seems confident when it comes to choosing what to wear on the beach.
The actress, 25, sizzled in a white bikini as she played in the sea while on holiday on the Caribbean island of St Vincent last week.

Michelle, who plays Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street, stayed at the exclusive Buccament Bay Resort and relaxed on the beach during her time off.
She wore a white Vix bikini while she played in the surf as the waves gently broke on the sand.
The star appeared to be enjoying the benefits of a break in the sun and looked tanned and healthy as she enjoyed the warm sunshine.
While Michelle seemed happy to show of her enviable figure while on holiday, she recently admitted she doesn't consider herself sexy.

She told Hello! magazine: 'It makes me laugh that people think I'm sexy, because I'm not at all.'
And the actress also seemed in better spirits breaking up with her former The Wanted singer fiance Max George this summer.

On the split, she said: 'Obviously it was a very sad time for us, as we were together for 19 months. But I got to think of it as, "I'm not the only girl who has ever had a break-up".
'The worst part for me was having the whole thing played out so publicly. In the end, I had to simply ignore the gossip and throw myself in my work.'
And Michelle admits she is feeling much better now and that she was lucky to have a good support network of friends to rely on.

She added: 'I was really busy with some great [Coronation Street] storylines and my friends were amazing.
'But eventually you just have to let things go and get on with life. I'm in a much better place now.'
Michelle and Max first started dating in 2010 and the boyband star proposed to the actress with a £10,000 ring in April 2011.
The pair's busy work schedules are said to have put a strain on their relationship and they cancelled their engagement in April this year.
The romance finally ended in July when Max was seen kissing another girl during a night out.

Mrs Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster in the soap, was diagnosed with cancer after a Coronation Street plot line – in which her character developed the disease – inspired her to check her own breasts.
After researching cancer the actress had a lump checked and was diagnosed with a 1.8cm grade one tumour.
Sally underwent months of chemotherapy, that led to her losing her hair and she took six months off work.

Sally's character on the Manchester-based soap could be heading for a reconciliation with her husband Kevin.
