I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans have called out Dean McCullough for lying to the show’s hosts.
The BBC Radio 1 presenter took on another Bushtucker trial alongside WAG Coleen Rooney on Sunday. The challenge saw Dean sift through barrels of fish guts and animal parts for mechanic tools, while Coleen waited to unlock stars with the implements he found.
However, the mum-of-four was not alone – as she was covered in crickets, cockroaches, rats, mealworms, and other horrifying pests.
Despite her ordeal, Coleen remained steely and focused. Dean on the other hand shrieked hysterically as he was doused with more fish guts and sludge liquids while searching for tools, the Mirror reports.
Ultimately the pair unlocked nine stars for the camp – a major improvement on the previous trials throughout the season.
But any positivity surrounding the achievement was quickly tarnished when Ant and Dec congratulated Dean during the debrief. The radio star responded to the praise with: “I’m a fighter, not a quitter.”
In reality, Dean has shouted “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” to excuse himself from two trials, proving himself to be quite the quitter.
Viewers took to X to criticise the star, with one writing: “’I’m not a quitter’… Dean, you’ve quit twice in the space of a week, don’t lie #ImACeleb.”
Another blasted: “Dean said ‘I’m not a quitter I’m a fighter’ … yes you are a quitter and you were scared of fish guts, I really wish he was in the back of the trailer #ImACeleb.”
A third fan shared a GIF of a shocked face and wrote: “‘i’m not a quitter’ everyone after dean quit most of his trials #ImACeleb.”
Another joked: “What was that noise? Oh it was just half of the country snorting when Dean said that he’s not a quitter #ImACeleb.”
Dean’s hypocrisy was not the only incident to shock fans on Sunday, as Maura revealed how she got revenge on an unfaithful boyfriend by filming herself using his toothbrush for some grisly household cleaning chores.
She said: “I had a plan and no word of a lie, when he went to the gym the next day I got his toothbrush and I filmed myself scrubbing in the verges [of the toilet], he had a dentist appointment that day!”
Unashamed of her confession, Maura even added: “I considered taking a dump on it.” Her campmates were stunned by the revelation, leading Danny to exclaim: “You don’t wanna mess with Maura!”
