The Absolutely Fabulous star admitted the constant claims about her signing up had “got to” her husband Chris Browne and had left him “anxious”.
Speaking exclusively to Exress.co.uk before her stint in the Channel 5 series, the 63-year-old opened up about the speculation and what kind of housemate she would be.
When asked about the persistent reports, Helen commented: “There were last year [too]! I thought, ‘What?’ It was hilarious.
“On the [launch] night, my husband got so convinced I was going in, even though I was there living with him, he got anxious. A whole load of cyclists stopped outside our door by chance and he thought it was the paparazzi.”

Helen, who wed her spouse back in 1999, continued: “I thought, ‘Oh my god, it has really got to him’. He’s not in the business at all - I don’t think he understands.”

“I don’t know how I am in a group situation,” Helen stated. “I kind of say what is in my head so I don’t know if that would work too well.
