Fuming Strictly viewers accuse 'mean' judge Anton DuBeke of being 'horrible' to celeb - did you spot it? 'You feel so inadequate and you want to do so much more but I can't do anything. And that's why you girls are so extraordinary, you're extraordinary that you do all this stuff." Anton and Hannah were fortunate enough to conceive after their first round of IVF and are now a happy family of four.

He told the ladies: 'For a woman, it affects the quality of your life to a degree because it sort of comes in three parts. "First, there's the excruciating pain, second there's the swelling. It sometimes makes you look like you're pregnant, which is quite a perverse thing because people come up to you and say 'congratulations' and you're like 'actually, no'.' 4 Anton is a judge on Strictly Come Dancing Credit: PA Advertisement

Helen Flanagan at the 2023 Fashion Awards (Image: Getty Images) Talking exclusively to Daily Star at the WhichBingo Awards, Helen said: "For All Stars, I properly trained for that and paid a phobia coach. He would get me involved with all the snakes and all these bugs. I remember being in this bath and this guy chucked cockroaches on me until I stopped screaming. "It was at this farm, there were tarantulas and snakes, it was really good for your mind. I paid the guy to do loads of phobias with me, heights and all sorts. "But when I got there, it was the producers choosing who did the trials, so I only got picked to do a few but I had prepped for everything. I had literally done so much beforehand. "I would go to Go Ape all the time for heights, which I'm glad because I did the highest trial in I'm A Celeb history with Myleene Klass and Amir Khan. It's like being an actress, if you don't learn your lines and don't prepare for it, you won't be ready. "You have to get yourself in a different mindset, but it was such a nice feeling to be ready for it."
