The actress then left camp to have her phone call. She was able to have a 90-second call with her mum and two young daughters Matilda and Delilah.
Helen said: “Baby? Hi mum!” as her mum answered the phone.
Yeah but how many days are you going to come back?
The star continued: “Are the kids there mum, I’ve got 90 seconds.” One of Helen’s daughters was then heard on the phone, saying: “Mummy, what are you doing? I was the gymnastics captain.”
Proud mum Helen replied: “Are you the gymnastics captain?! Darling that’s amazing. Matilda, mummy’s not going to be long you know that I love you so much don’t you?”
Matilda said: “Yeah but how many days are you going to come back?” Helen said: “Mummy won’t be long. Are you okay?” to which Matilda said: “Okay.”
The star gushed: “Girls I love you more than anything in the world. Is Charlie [her son] okay?” Helen’s mum said: “Charlie is a little angel. Such a happy little boy and he can’t wait to see his mummy.”
One of Helen’s daughters then shouted: “We love you mama!” Helen said: “I love you so much girls.”
