Saturday Night Takeaway fans say same thing as Helen Flanagan helps contestant to win place on plane

Helen Flanagan is returning to screens for an all stars edition of I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! and she whet fans' appetites for the new series with a guest appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced during Saturday night's episode the line-up for the launch of I'm a Celebrity ...South Africa.

The show, on our screens from next month, will see the return of some of the most memorable campmates from I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! over the years in the new setting of South Africa instead of Australia. Helen was joined by her fellow castmates, including Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan and Paul Burrell, for a special I'm A Celebrity theme game of Read My Lips.

Read My Lips sees members of the audience compete to win a place on the plane to the Orlando Universal Resort in Florida for the Saturday Night Takeaway final. As former Coronation Street star Helen, from Bury, appeared on a big screen via video link to take part in the game viewers were saying the same thing as they cast their minds back to the 32-year-old's time in the jungle in 2012.

Helen was in the jungle with celebs including former EastEnders star Charlie Brooks, who went on to win the show, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts and boxer David Haye. The mum-of-three, who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, was teased for fake tanning in the jungle and after five failed attempts at the challenges she was finally triumphant after succeeding in the Deadly Delivery trial.

Despite the critters crawling over her face and hair, she scooped 12 stars to feed camp, prompting presenter Ant to ask "Who are you and what have you done with Helen Flanagan?"

@RyanTheSoapking said: "Love Helen Flanagan glad she's returning to I'm a celeb." And @SteveFlixPlus said: "I'm now gonna watch #ImACelebAllStars for Helen Flanagan alone..."

As the game of Read My Lips Got underway, it was Helen's turn to help a contestant win a place on the plane. Helen was tasked with saying the names of animals that audience member Satty had to work out by lip reading while wearing noise cancelling headphones.
