Helen Flanagan slammed by furious I'm A Celebrity fans just seconds into first brutal trail

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! viewers have hit out at former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan minutes into her very first trail.

Helen, 32, first appeared on the 2012 series of the ITV competition and the former soap star is back for more in the All-Star series in South Africa.

The proud mum-of-three is best known for chickening out of the brutal and gruelling trails, but Helen has promised herself that this time around, she will be brave and face her fears no matter what.

However, as the first episode aired tonight, viewers were certain that Helen would go back to her old ways and 'chicken out' of the terrifying trials.

Taking to Twitter, they shared their thoughts on Helen's nervous demeanor as she watched her fellow campmates take on the nail-biting challenge.

"Episode 1 and Helen is already getting on my nerves. #ImACeleb," one viewer complained.

"Helen hasn't changed at all then," another mocked, while a third echoed: "Helen is 100% going to chicken out of the trails and it's only day one hahahaha."

Someone else complained: "Ugh this series is just going to be Helen sh***ing herself and not doing the tasks."

"Wow!! Fatima is so much more brave and up for it than Helen. Says a lot," someone else moaned.

However, much to many viewers' surprise, the former Corrie actress did actually complete the trail after talking herself up and taking her time.

Sadly, Helen didn't manage to bag a star for her fellow campmates, but proclaimed that she was so proud of herself regardless for facing her immense fear of heights.

Helen first took part in I’m A Celebrity… more than a decade ago.

The 32-year-old actress, best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, was voted to take part in her fair share of Bushtucker Trials due to her often squeamish reaction.

Flanagan, who finished in seventh place the first time around, said: “I am not saying I am going to go in and be a jungle warrior and be absolutely amazing because I will not.

“Yes, I will be scared but I will have a go and I will be a lot better than last time.”

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa continues on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm tomorrow.
