Helen Flanagan says she would eat kangaroo anus on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' if she was made to as she wouldn't want to come across as a coward.

The former 'Coronation Street' actress is taking part in this year's series of the ITV1 jungle show and she says she wants to get stuck in to all the Bushtucker Trials she's made to do as she doesn't want to come across as a coward.

She said: "I am a determined girl so I'll give any bushtucker trial a go but I am ­terrified of heights. If I knew the whole nation was watching, I wouldn't want to look like a coward.

"Would I eat a kangaroos anus? I'll give it a go. That would be a bad trial but not the worst. Jumping out of a plane would be the worst."

Helen - who quit playing Rosie Webster in 'Coronation Street' after suffering from depression - says she can't wait for viewers to see the real her as they always assume she's like her former alter-ego.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It will be good for people to see the real me.

"After being in a show like Coronation Street for 12 years, people think they know me, but they don't."
