It is reported that Helen had a round of €450 skin injections, called Polynucleotides, which caused the damage. The treatment is aimed at rejuvenating the skin and face with no added volume. She then praised her go-to practitioner: "I only go to @drnataliehowarth for my face as I trust her a million percent."

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."
