Ostrich trial ‘was life risk’

FLAPPY Helen Flanagan could have been KILLED by an ostrich during a Bushtucker Trial, animal charities claimed yesterday.

RSPCA official Michael Beatty slammed programme chiefs for shutting the 7ft bird in a hotel room during Cruelty Towers.

“It would have used its feet like claws to tear into Helen, ripping her stomach open. She could have been seriously injured or killed.”

RSPCA inspectors are investigating the trial.
