She became one of the I'm a Celebrity jungle’s sexiest celebs after showering in her bikini in 2012.

But cruel viewers cottoned on to how squeamish she was and regularly voted her to take part in the Bushtucker Trials.

The mum of three finished seventh in that series, which was eventually won by EastEnders star Charlie Brooks.

A TV insider said: “Helen is an absolute catch for ITV and they are thrilled she is finally on board.

“It has taken months of negotiations because it is a big decision to spend so long away from her young children but she has finally come around to the idea.

“She was brilliant telly back in 2012 and is bound to be just as entertaining this time around — especially if she gets voted into doing the trials again.”

Helen previously told how she had under-estimated how hard the programme would be.

She said: “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.”

The one-off series featuring well known stars from the show’s past will be filmed in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and is expected to air in early 2023.

Former Countdown numbers whiz Carol Vorderman, ex- EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney, Diversity’s Jordan Banjo and 2017 winner Georgia Toffolo are among the other celebs who have already signed up for the All Stars version.
