ITV I'm A Celebrity's Helen Flanagan apologises to Ant and Dec as fans issue demand

I'm A Celebrity fans issued a demand as Helen Flanagan showed off a new side.

The 32-year-old has entered the South African camp to once again take on the challenge of TV's toughest entertainment challenge. The former Coronation Street star has vowed to do it differently this time as she was remembered for backing out of the trials 10 years ago.

Helen said she has been changed by motherhood and put herself forward to take on the trial tonight. She was up against Paul Burrell in Thursday's challenge.

Helen threw herself into the challenge and comprehensively defeated the former Royal Butler. She dropped a few explicit remarks during the trial, 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."

Viewers following the show on Twitter loved seeing the change and declared Helen the first ever I'm A Celeb Legend.

Tash commented: "Helen Flanagan to win, she’s thrown herself into it this time and has overcome her fears, absolute queen"

Laura tweeted: "Helen will win this and become the first ‘legend’ I’m calling it now"

James said: "I am so here for Helen’s redemption arc"

Jonathan posted: "This is a completely different Helen to last time"

Greggles commented: "Have to say I’m loving the Helen Flanagan redemption arc #ImACeleb"
