Ex-Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan and Nadine Dorries failed to win food for their teams after quitting a creepy-crawly challenge.

The pair had to lie for ten minutes in underground crates as the lids were bolted – and thousands of bugs were dumped on them.

Flanagan, 22, lasted just seconds before shouting 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'

Sobbing Flanagan admitted she may walk out on the ITV show. 'I've even been thinking of going because I just don't know if I can hack it,' she told the Bush Telegraph.

Flanagan had previously said how excited she was to be taking part in the Bush Tucker Trial, championing herself as a 'jungle warrior princess'.

'I really want to prove myself and be strong on this trial and bring back the food' she said.

'I'd be so proud of myself if I can win this trial because I don't think I've won anything before and it would be a nice feeling. And I'm going to be a champion jungle warrior princess.'

Nadine Dorries, 55, survived four minutes covered in maggots and cockroaches before asking to leave after claiming something had bitten her leg.

She said after the challenge: 'Something was biting me and I thought it was a rat biting me and my fear is rats.'

As she and Flanagan left the trial area with neither having won dinner for their camps, Helen whispered to Nadine: 'I want to go home.'

Brian Conley and Eric Bristow were faced with the far more pleasant task of balancing on lily pads and attempting to catch tennis balls that were flung into their nets.

Conley was successful, scoring the dingo dollars for his camp. Bristow vowed to get his own back on the comedian, saying: 'He's on my list'.

Brian used the dingo dollars to buy the rest of the camp hammocks to sleep in.

Flanagan's bushtucker Trial troubles are far from over though, as hosts Ant and Dec revealed that they had picked the actress to undergo a second trial the following day.

Once again, she will be going head to head with Dorries.
