Sound like one of the many forms of centipede. If so then they had nothing to do with your plants dying.

deffo wasnt a centipede as no legs, it was a worm, smallish about 1" long with yellow blotches as if that was its food and a pale browny skin i think

Interesting, then it was not a flat worm then. In any case they eat other worms not plants.
Cannot find any references to things which eat the roots of Campanulas other than vine weevils and that is rare in the garden as opposed to in pots.
