Helen Flanagan has shared she "misses" Carol Vorderman after the pair bonded in the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa camp. Helen and Carol were amongst the first stars to take part in the popular ITV reality show spin-off, which was filmed in the Southern Hemisphere in September 2022, and aired earlier this year.
The soap star and the Countdown whiz bonded during their second go at I'm A Celeb, with Carol helping to guide Helen through her split from Bristol Rovers winger Scott Sinclair. Helen and her ex-fiancé Scott, with whom she shares three children, broke up last summer after 13 years together, calling off their fairytale wedding.
Flying out to South Africa just weeks after her split from Scott, Helen opted to wear her engagement ring during filming as she "didn't want to talk about it" and wanted to avoid any suspicion of a break up. During her time in camp, Helen said that Clifton resident Carol was a "mother figure" to her as she navigated a tricky new chapter of her life.
