And to show exactly why she's just as deserving of the title as her former co-star, Michelle has stripped off to pose for some seriously sexy new shots.

Mark Wright is one lucky lad.

But after winning over a whole new army of male fans thanks to her bikini antics during her stint in the jungle, our money is on Helen to steal the crown of current champ Tulisa, after coming 47th last year.
