I’m A Celebrity legend in talks for huge comeback on 2022 All Star series
GILLIAN McKeith could soon be joined by one of I’m A Celebrity’s most glamorous exports in the upcoming All Stars series.
Insiders revealed a former jungle legend is in talks with ITV bosses about a potential return to the show – ten years after they were last in camp.
The Sun revealed earlier this year how I’m A Celeb would be filming a special one-off series celebrating some of the biggest and best talent to have starred on the show.
And sources said former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan had been in discussions with ITV about making a comeback.
An insider said: “Helen is in two minds about I’m A Celebrity and has been in talks about the possibility of coming back.
“She has three young children who are very much her priority.

“Helen had a rollercoaster ride in the jungle when she was in there back in 2013 and while some parts were incredibly difficult, she really enjoyed the experience on the whole.
“If Helen can make it work around her kids then she will consider taking the leap and signing up.
“But for Helen all the stars have to align. Her family will always come first.
“Naturally ITV would love to have her appear on the All Stars series and she is very much a priority for their casting team.

“Those working on the show are hopeful that Helen will be able to make it to South Africa.”
Helen, 31, first starred on I’m A Celebrity in 2012, when EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks won the show.
The ex-soap actress, who has three children, daughters Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and one-year-old son Charlie, with footballer Scott Sinclair, was evicted fifth.
She made jungle history with her steamy bikini waterfall showers and she was named one of I’m A Celebrity’s sexiest stars.
Helen said after leaving she had no idea it would be so difficult.
She explained: “When I signed up for I'm A Celebrity I didn't take the trials into consideration because I didn't think I would do so many.
“I thought I'd maybe do one or two and thought I'd be fine. I thought I would just be in a bikini and make friends, I didn't think it would be so intense.”

Helen, who played Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, added: “I found it tough but I enjoyed it at the same time.
“I absolutely loved being in camp and I loved all my friends.”
