"Why is everything always on women?"
Helen's fans were quick to support her, with writing: "She is allowed a few days off."
Another said: "She's always got her children. Why are mums not allowed to have a life. She's more than just a mum, she's her own person too. I thin people forget just because a woman has children, doesn't mean her life has to stop."
The I'm A Celeb star recently admitted that she was desperate for some "adult time" as she adjusts to being a single mum, following her split from Bristol Rovers footballer Scott, 34.

The star has been letting her hair down during her sun-soaked getaway with pals.
Last week she showcased her incredible figure in a barely there pink bikini, before slipping into a silver halterneck crop top and matching skirt for a night out.
Before jetting off on holiday, Helen opened up about the struggles of being a single mum.
"I fell asleep with the girls last night - Delilah does this thing where she will not go to sleep without me, not a chance, she screams and screams," Helen said.
"I'm going to try and get them in a different routine.
"Usually what I do is try and get them to sleep and when she's asleep I try and sneak out of the room.
"I didn't, I fell asleep in my contact lenses."
She went on: "I need my own adult time - even if it's just watching something I want to watch or I can speak to my friends.
"I just need that switch off."
The I'm A Celeb star recently opened up to The Sun about co-parenting, saying it's "pretty drama-free".
Helen, who shot to fame on Coronation Street, said: "I co-parent with Scott. We were together for a long time. So he lives with his mum in Bristol and I live in Manchester with the kids. I get on really well with Scott's mum.
"I was with Scott aged 19-31, so that's why I get on so well with his mum. So honestly it makes my life so easy because we hang out together. It's really nice. It's pretty drama free as I get on really well with her.
