Former Corrie star Helen Flanagan freaked out before even arriving in the I'm A Celebrity… jungle – throwing a tantrum at the airport on touchdown.

The 22-year-old told how she was prone to panic attacks and was struggling to deal with reporters greeting her in Oz.
'I've just got off a two-day flight and I've got people coming towards me,' she moaned.
'I hate flying. They put me on a two-day flight and I can't handle it.'
The actress then tried to keep the worst kept secret out there – that she is one of ITV's latest I'm a Celeb victims.
'I don't know what you mean,' she answered when asked about being a happy camper. 'I'm not answering anything.'

Flanagan may struggle as she enters the wild after recently opening up about her battle with panic attacks and depression.
Her mental health issue was one of the main reasons she quit her role as Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, she told Reveal magazine recently.
'I was down and it was very intense – I don't think I was very well,' she said. 'I wasn't happy there any more. I wanted to find my own identity and I didn't feel free – I couldn't be myself or do what I wanted to do.
'I really struggled. My head was in such a state that I wanted to run away, without thinking where I'd go or how I'd get there. I felt trapped.
'It wasn't just work. I felt overwhelmed in general. I struggled with very down days, especially back then. That's when I started having the panic attacks. I found it so embarrassing and saw it as a weakness. They totally crippled my confidence. I'm an emotional, intense person.'
Spotted flying out of Heathrow Airport ahead of the annual I'm A Celeb bug-munching fest were Made In Chelsea's Hugo Taylor, ex-Doctor Who Colin Baker and the comedian Brian Conley.
