I’m A Celebrity: South Africa star Helen Flanagan has been “smashing” the trials, but after receiving “help”, claims Nicola McLean.
Helen is currently on screens as she competes in the all-stars series, and Nicola says she is a “favourite” of hers.
Though she did admit that she thinks Helen has sought out some professional advice to help with fighting her fears on the show.

When asked who she think has a gameplan on the series, Nicola answered: “I mean gameplan you won’t be able to have, it will just be how good you are at the trials, and that will show you who is that desperate to win it and who will go to any length to win the trials.

“Unless people have had a lot of therapy, although I do think Helen had been given the techniques to cope with things. When she was settling herself and telling herself to breathe, I think she asked for advice on that, which could be seen as a game plan.
“Although, I think she was brilliant when she was doing the trial, as I don’t think she would have even tried last time.”

Nicola, 41, continued: “You can’t fake being really bad at trials and then being really good, she was good on the first one but it was quite an impossible task.
“I honestly think she’s had some sort of therapy to help her regulate her mind and emotions and things like that. And if I ever get asked to do it I will be messaging her on Instagram and saying ‘Please tell me what you’ve done’ as I would do the same.”

Corrie star Helen, 32, first starred on the show in 2012 and was extremely fearful of all the challenges back then.
Talking about her first jungle stint, Nicola added: “I think Helen was so stereotyped before and I think we have moved on, we are way further forward with how we are allowed to speak about people. Helen was just a ‘bimbo’, has a great bikini body, squealed at the trials, and yeah, a bimbo.

“I think online people might say that but the press won’t be able to do that to her this time which I think is good cos any blonde with big boobs is going to get that is she a bimbo?
“No, honestly I love watching her Instagram she seems like such a lovely mum, she’s happy to be seen with no makeup on, and she seems quite real to me.
“Ten years later and three kids later, I think she’s going to try her best. Do I think she will be the best a the trials? I’d be shocked, but neither would I. Do I think she would be more hardcore? Yeah, I think she’s going in there to prove a point.”
