The Sun's content powered by
Carol Vorderman has labelled Helen Flanagan “satanic” after the pair became enemies on the new series of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
The stars met while filming the pre-recorded talent show last year and were forced to do battle in the camp with seven other rivals.
As there is no viewer vote, the celebrities went head to head with each other to stay in the show.
And in an exclusive interview with TV Mag, Carol, 62, revealed that former Corrie actress Helen - who was famously unsuccessful at winning stars when she first took part in the show in 2012 - got feisty with her campmates.
Carol said: “Helen showed her satanic side!
“Helen was a baby last time – she’s a mum now. Fatima Whitbread and I would always get up early and then this little face would appear, like a meerkat.

“She’s in my phone as: ‘Helen Meerkat Satanic Angel’.”
The I’m A Celebrity alumni compete in the sweltering heat of South Africa to be crowned the show’s first ‘Legend’.
And Carol also revealed there wasn’t a lot of love lost between her and campmate Janice Dickinson.
She said: “Well, let’s be honest, if I had got on brilliantly with Janice Dickinson, I’d probably be the first person who ever had!”

Former Countdown star Carol assures anyone worried about the new show not being live that there’s no shortage of drama.
She said: “They try to stop you even talking on the way to the trials. To get to the trials you have to get into this blacked out 4x4, individually, with a blindfold on.
“They’re trying to keep you in this bubble and, boy, do they succeed.
“You won’t be disappointed at all. It’s very, very competitive.”
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa starts on Monday at 9pm on ITV1. TV Mag is free inside The Sun every Saturday.
