Helen Flanagan apologises to Ant and Dec after latest I'm A Celebrity trial

Helen Flanagan was the star of Thursday's instalment of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa after sensationally winning another grim Bushtucker Trial.

The mother-of-three told fans ahead of the series she was determined to do things differently and make her kids proud, and is doing just that on the ITV reality show.

Team leaders Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney chose Paul Burrell and Helen to go head to head in the latest challenge aptly named bug-tanical gardens.

The pair were in a race against the clock to figure out a padlock combination while having bugs dumped on them and going bobbing for vegetables in vats of animal guts in a bid to win their team a picnic.

The losing team was forced to dine on rice and beans while the winners enjoyed a lavish waterfall picnic.

Helen completely stole the show from Paul during that challenge, and while he tried his best he couldn't beat Helen. This meant that the yellow team, led by EastEnders star Dean, won the trial for the second day in the row while Joe's green team felt extremely sorry for themselves.

After completing the grim trial, the pair caught up with the Geordie double act Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly where they talked through the challenge in detail. Paul was quick to pick up on the mum-of-three's "potty mouth" much to her embarrassment as she buried her head in her hands.

She dropped a few explicit remarks during the trial and could be heard screaming 'f*** off', which left hosts Ant and Dec taken aback. She later apologised as she said: "I'm sorry guys. I'm usually not a swearer." She added: "I'm sorry and I'm sorry mum."

I'm A Celebrity fans took to Twitter after the scenes aired and commended the former soap star for her performance in the gruesome task. One said: "Died at Helen telling @antanddec to fk off."

"Helen telling my Deccy-Doolittle to F off!! I’ll smash her face in! #imaceleb," another ranted. A third buzzed: "Helen putting herself forward to do another trial. She has grown in confidence so much. Good for you Helen. #ImACeleb."

A fourth added: "Helen Flanagan to win, she’s thrown herself into it this time and has overcome her fears, absolute queen."

I'm A Celebrity... South Africa continues 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
