In the jungle, she has spent several hours daily to inspect her skin for blemishes while battling constant break-outs Down Under.
Fighting with her insecurities on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, Helen Flanagan can’t hold her tears when her fellow camper Eric Bristow took a few shots at her.
The 55-year-old made a few nasty comments about the former Coronation Street actress' spots after revealing she liked to melt ice-lollies and drink them.
Eric said: 'You’ve got a fantastic diet when you’re at home. Is that before the chocolate or after the chocolate?
'That’s what done your skin all that s**t you’re eating.'
The former professional English darts player continued with his insensitive jive, saying: 'I’d just squeeze her head and get the pus out all in one go.'
David Haye, 32, also chimed in prior to the time that an upset Flanagan, 22 headed to Bush Telegraph.
While away from the camp, she said: 'I'm finding it a little bit hard in camp sometimes the boys; they’re lovely; they would never mean to and I know they love me, but boys don’t have as much sensitivity as girls.
Helen continued: 'I love everyone in camp, but I'm really sensitive about my skin.
'I know it sounds really stupid I can’t believe I'm crying, it just gets to me because I feel conscious enough because I haven’t got any make-up.'
The blonde hasn’t made any complaint against Eric’s harsh comments yet according to the Daily Star.
The source added: 'We certainly do not condone bullying and if there was a complaint we would speak to the person concerned.'
Daily Star also stated how Helen’s parents were upset about the remarks on their daughter.
Several followers of the ITV celebrity challenge took to Twitter to express their outrage.
One person tweeted: 'Hope Eric Bristow gets kicked out of the jungle for the skin comments directed at Helen Flanagan. Horrible old bully.'
With another one writing: 'Feel so sorry for Helen Flanagan after what Eric said about her skin, I'd have cried if he said that to me too #outoforder #iknowhowitfeels'.
Helen's former co-star Anthony Cotton, also can’t hold back himself on social site.
He wrote: 'Helen is very sensitive about her skin, and this shows a lot more about them than it does Helen. She is divine. Team Helen x'.
On Friday night's episode, Eric delivered another indirect praise to Helen saying: 'You are still as daft as a brush, but you look better.'
Helen responded: 'Why do you think that? Give me an example.'
To which, Eric responded: 'You are daft, daft as a brush. Just because you are.'
In the Bush Telegraph, Helen confessed how annoying Eric was and said: 'Eric is really annoying, constant banter; it’s driving me up the wall, literally!'
Eric tried to defend his comment Eric by telling former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts: 'I’m a truth teller, just telling the truth.'
Ashley surmised: 'There’s no filter, when he thinks something he just goes and says it, he doesn’t process it before he delivers the thought, he just says whatever is on his mind.
