ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers saw Loose Women star Jane Moore brand radio host Dean McCullough a ‘stalker’ following a tense trial on the reality show
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Jane Moore branded her fellow contestant Dean McCullough a “stalker” in an unexpected outburst.
The 62-year-old Loose Women star and the 32-year-old radio host endured a testy trail called the Fright Bus before returning to the camp with bags full of treats. First, the celebrities had to endure a horrifying challenge where they were sealed inside a bus and tasked with unlocking rewards while spiders, mealworms, cockroaches and more rained down upon them.
The celebrities looked on edge as they screamed through the challenge while being covered in insects and creepy crawlies. Upon leaving the bus, each star was rewarded with some luggage – which included a range of items from an apple and disposable camera to a sequin dress and chocolates.
McFly star Danny Jones arguably won the best reward as he had a guitar in the case that he was handed. The instrument was from his home and had messages and drawings scribbled on it by his young son. The chart-topping star gently strummed his strings and started to sing as the celebrities gathered around the campfire.

He broke into the 2010 Top 5 McFly single Shine A Light – and the rest of the camp joined in. Dean, who is a fan of the band, loudly sang along – leading Jane to surmise that he was losing his mind over being able to sing a McFly song with one of the talented members of the band.
Entering the Bush Telegraph, the talk show star said: “Dean who I think is a McFly superfan, stroke stalker is in his element.” And, indeed, Dean himself didn’t believe his luck. Wearing a glittering dress that he discovered in his own luggage, the radio star gasped: “Oh my god. I’ve lost my mind. Worth the gold dress.”
Later, Dean was relieved to discover he wasn’t nominated to take part in the next trial. He had been put forth by the public for almost every challenge that had been on offer in the week before. Instead, Jane and Love Island star Maura Higgins were tasked with retrieving stars from an obstacle course that was submerged in water.
Viewers began to question if Dean’s repeated trials had exposed a ‘calculated’ side to him. One viewer wrote on X while watching Maura endure a trial: “Difference between dean and Maura is you can actually see she is scared and shaking…dean just wanted airtime #ImACeleb.” And others are now hoping the radio star will be the first to be voted off the show. One wrote: “Can we all agree when the time comes that we’re voting Dean out first. Cannot stand the man, all for attention. #imacelebrity2024 #ImACeleb.”
Just seven couples remain on Strictly Come Dancing, with the couples set to perform their own routines as well as take part in the samba-thon
Anton du Beke broke down in tears as Tasha Ghouri bagged the first 40 of the series.
Tasha and Aljaž Škorjanec danced their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi, which earned high praise from the judges. The pair scored a perfect 40 out of 40, the first of the whole series so far.
Shirley said to Anton: “This is the first time I’ve seen you cry, and you were very emotional.” Anton then admitted: “It was beautiful. It just makes me go – this is why we dance. This is the point. People say why do you dance, and that’s why.
“We don’t dance for people to say we’re wonderful. We dance mostly for how it makes us feel. You’re extraordinary to watch. And Alijaz, I see you enjoying and I have the feeling myself when I dance … You want it go like that. Sometimes, it goes like that. This is what it’s all about. I watch you dance. I tried to find something I don’t like and I like it all.”

This week, the celebrities also participated in a Samba-thon, taking the dancefloor together to perform their best Samba moves and earn extra votes from the judges.
Anton got rather emotional
Comedian Chris spoke of how grateful he is for all the support from his fans and fellow comedians. Explaining what it means to have everyone’s support, he revealed: “I’ve had lots of lovely messages from people saying you’re doing really well and it’s nice that fellow comedians think that I’m coming across as myself, that means a lot.”
Gladiators star Montell added what the show means to her: “It’s brought out a side that’s been hidden for a long time. I’ve never been able to express it because I’ve never danced before. It’s more about discovering that side rather than creating a new one. It’s like I’m nurturing a side that was locked up in a box.”
Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec was left stunned on Tuesday’s It Takes Two as he discovered a show first after 11 years on the competition
Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec was left stunned on Tuesday’s It Takes Two over a surprise revelation.
Over the weekend, Aljaz, 34, and his celebrity dance partner Tasha Ghouri received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi. The duo received a standing ovation as they achieved the series’ first 40.
Appearing on Tuesday’s It Takes Two, host Fleur East had a fun revelation for Aljaz after the incredible milestone. Fleur, 37, pointed out: “This was your third perfect score on the show, Aljaz. Your other two were with Abbey Clancy.”
Aljaz, who was paired with Abbey back in 2013 on series 11 and won the show with her, was left stunned at the detail as he remarked: “This is my first perfect score after Abbey Clancy?” to which Tasha asked: “How many years ago was that?” as Aljaz replied: “11 years ago!”

Asking if it still impacts him in the same way getting that perfect score, Aljaz admitted: “I think even more so!” he added: “I think it affects me even more because with Abbey Clancy it was my first season, everything comes so fast at you. You are choreographing dancers, they come and go so quickly.
“It’s all a bit of a blur but now doing it for ten years, I don’t know how hard it is to achieve that perfect score and I can’t believe it’s my third perfect score in the whole time I’ve been doing it. So thank you, Craig [Revel Horwood] mainly and the rest [of the judges].”
It comes as judge Anton du Beke was visibly moved as Tasha achieved the series’ first 40 over the weekend. Fellow judge Shirley Ballas remarked on Anton’s emotional display, saying: “This is the first time I’ve seen you cry, and you were very emotional.”

On Wednesday’s instalment of Loose Women, the panellist spoke to Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe and Montell Douglas after they survived the latest dance-off.
Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe has opened up on the emotional week he’s had following the latest results on the BBC show. On Sunday night, viewers saw the pro and his celeb partner Montell Douglas face the dance-off.
Despite earning an impressive score of 37 from the judges, the Olympic star found herself in the bottom two once again. Although this time she was head-to-head against Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas.
In the end, all four judges opted to save Montell and Johannes, earning them a spot in Musicals Week. However, while speaking about the results show during Wednesday’s Loose Women, Johannes confessed it’s not been easy.
He said: “I’m going to be honest, I have been a blubbering mess, for the past three dance-offs and this woman here has been like, ‘It’s not over!’”
Coleen Nolan questioned why he’s been so emotional, asking: “What is that Johannes? Is that because as her trainer you somehow feel you’ve let her down?”

The Strictly star agreed, adding: “You’ve let her down, yeah. This is not my first rodeo I’ve never pushed somebody like I’ve pushed Montell. But it’s not that, it’s how she’s pushed me as a trainer.
Johannes revealed that his dance partner is the one telling him to go again during rehearsals, not the other way around, admitting it’s something that he’d never had before.
He added: “That is why, so I believe with every fibre in my being that I’ve got a champion in my hands. That is lovely.”
Christine Lampard addressed Montell finding herself in the dreaded dance-off once again, questioning if it makes it easier to tackle now she’s experienced it before.
Montell replied: “It does I think, It never gets easier. I don’t think it’s easier but I definitely think mindset for sure comes in straight away. He (Johannes) always jokes that I’m coaching him on the dance-off! I’m like, ‘We’ve got this’.
Montell confessed being in the dance-off “never gets easier”
Although Montell and Johannes survived another week in the competition, it marked the end of the road for Jamie and his dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas.
The duo, who earned a total of 32 for their routine, failed to impress the four judges and were sent home after performing their dance once again.
Speaking about his experience on the show, the soap star had nothing but praise as he said: “Strictly is magic. That is all I can say. Strictly is magic. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here – the judges, but everyone who works on this show.
Jamie and Michelle were the latest couple to be voted off(

I could ramble on all day about this one [Michelle]. She’s a new pro and she’s absolutely been the most amazing teacher. We have laughed like you wouldn’t believe. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you.”
Echoing his comments, Michelle added: “I just want to say it goes without saying Jamie is an amazing dancer, and he’s improved so much week by week. He’s worked so hard to get to where he is.
“It’s my first year with a partner and I’ve realised that it’s so much more than just the dancing and the technique, it’s the bonds and the friendships that you make. I waited two years for a partner and I wouldn’t have had it any other way,”
ITV presenter Davina McCall was tearful as she took to Instagram to share a video for the first time since undergoing brain surgery
Davina McCall has spoken out for the first time since her brain surgery as she updated friends and fans on her health.
Sharing a video for the first time since undergoing the six-hour operation, she admitted that it had been “bad” but that she was grateful to be at home with boyfriend Michael and stepmum looking after her. Following the op, she explained how she was struggling with her short term memory but remained positive that she can “work on it”.
The Masked Singer judge underwent the surgery earlier this month to remove a 14mm benign brain tumour, which she discovered during a health scan a few months ago while giving a talk for a menopause company. She later admitted that she was blindsided after the tumour was discovered as she was concinced she would “ace” her health scan.
Lying in her bed at home today, Davina addressed her Instagram followers and said: “Hi, I just thought I’d check in! A heartfelt thank to everyone who has messaged me or been in touch.It’s meant the world. It’s been bad.
“It’s just really nice to be back home. I’m on the other side. My short term memory is a bit remiss. But that is something that I can work on so I’m really happy about that. I’m writing everything I’m doing to keep myself feeling safe.
“I’m being brilliantly looked after by Michael and my mum. I’d quickly like to say big up the stepmums – I don’t really say thank you to Gabby [McCall] enough. She’s been an amazing rock my whole life.

“I have a massive dose of vitamin G. When something like this happens I just feel so grateful. I’ve always been grateful, I’ve always been lucky in my life.”
Tearing up, Davina continued: “I feel unbelievably grateful in my life right now, so thanks for everything. I’m on the mend, I’m resting, I’m sleeping loads and I feel really good. I just feel very lucky.”
Posting the video to Instagram, she added in the description: “Just want to thank @mdlondon , who gets best boyfriend ever award . Voted for by me and everyone that knows us . Also … best mum ever award … goes to @gabbamccall . Thank you mumma . For being best grandma … and mumma ever.
“I am feeling much better . Had a great nights sleep in my own bed .

Fans were stunned to see Maura Higgins using an old sock to exfoliate in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here jungle following her gruesome Bushtucker Trial
Maura Higgins took to the freezing camp shower in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here wearing a skimpy black bikini.
However, it was her use of an old sock that grabbed the attention. The former Love Island star, 34, had faced her worst fear of spiders in the Bushtucker Trial Fright At The End of The Tunnel. Immediately after rejoining camp with Jane Moore, the Irish beauty decided she had to wash away the trauma.
As she head to the wash base, she popped an old red sock over her hand and began to rinse herself. And stunned fans shared a number of reactive posts on Twitter /X following the scenes. Sharing an image of a shocked face, one user wrote: “Maura exfoiliting [sic] her skin with a dirty sock, having had bugs thrown down at her on a bus, traumatised on a trial and an apple for her birthday for her gift #imaceleb #imacelebrity #IMA2024 #imacelebrity2024.”

Another asked: “Maura exfoliated her skin with an old sock – what on earth could’ve made a sock that rough?…,” while a third joked at Maura’s plight: “Spent her birthday being tortured on a bus, got an apple when everyone else got treats, had to do a trial with Jane and now has to exfoliate with a dirty sock. Our maura is suffering on a biblical level.”
Prior to her shower scenes, v iewers saw Maura shouting “a**hole! ” at Jane during a tense Bushtucker Trial. The two ladies were chosen to take part as Maura had to crawl through cages to find hidden four letter words written on signs covered by sand. Jane, meanwhile, had to swim through an underwater obstacle course to find correlating word padlocks that she could unlock with the words Maura was sharing with her. However, Maura’s accent seemed to cause confusion when it came to spelling the word Boat.
Despite spelling it out clearly and loudly, Jane wasn’t able to understand the letter “A”. As Jane repeatedly asked what the letter she couldn’t understand was, Maura was seen losing her patience and snapping: “A! For a**hole!”Before the clip was shown, Jane’s family arrived Down Under. When asked about how their mum would fare, her daughters admitted their the Loose Women star “asked for this”. Speaking to the Mirror and other press, they said: “She’s wanted to a do a trial since the beginning. I think she’s going to absolutely smash it.” However, revealing a trial with water would have been Jane’s least favourite task, they said: “Probably something with water [would be the worst], which happens to be the one we’ve got her into, but she asked for it.”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! viewers were unimpressed with jokes made by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and so complained to Ofcom
I’m A Celebrity has been hit with Ofcom complaints already as viewers were unimpressed with Ant and Dec’s jokes.
The hit ITV show returned to screens just over a week ago and has racked up 70 complaints from viewers. Some fans of the show were left unimpressed by a series of jokes from hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as they referenced the Bible and the Christian faith. Their jokes came after Reverend Richard Coles entered the Australian jungle alongside Love Island’s Maura Higgins.
Ant and Dec have been seen making prayer hands as orchestral music plays in the background while talking about Richard during the live shows. During Maura and Richard’s eating trial, Dec was heard asking him “More tea vicar?” Then in the studio following the trial, Dec described the trial as ‘unholy’ with Ant adding ‘Bum-holey’.

On Tuesday night’s episode, Ant gave a mock sermon during the live episode. Dec kicked off the joke: “It’s the start of a new day now and the first to wake up was Reverend Richard…” Music started playing as Ant butted in with a mock voice: “And though the night before there had been darkness and a plague of insects had been visited upon him. But he had receiveth a small bounty that did taste of cheese. And now, praise be, he did rise again.”
Dec said: “So basically you are saying Richard had a fright, got some crisps, then had a sleep and got out of bed?” Ant replied in the accent: “Yes my child.” Richard was ordained in 2005, eight years after he and Jimmy split up their band – synth pop duo The Communards up. In 1991, he became a Roman Catholic before returning to the Church of England in 2001.
Ahead of his jungle entrance, Ant made a savage five-word comment about Richard while appearing on spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked. The presenter said he thought Maura would bring fun and energy into camp, while Richard would act as a stable and calm figure. Ant added: “”More people might know her,” in reference to Maura and how the public will receive her entrance.
Ant performed a mock sermon on Tuesday’s episode
Richard has been shocking viewers himself since joining the camp as he made a cheeky comment about bedding a royal earlier this week. GK Barry – real name Grace Keeling – asked Richard: “Who’s the most interesting person you’ve ever met?” When he told her he thinks all people are interesting, she narrowed it down and asked whether he ever met a member of the royal family.
He said he has and when she asked what they were like, he quickly quipped: “Great in bed…” before bursting out laughing. Fans were lost for words and rushed to the comment section to question what happened. One user wrote on X: “Who has Richard bedded from the royal family? Have I missed something?!” Another wrote: “Reverend Richard said a Royal was good in bed.” “I love Richard so much and I need to know which royal he was talking about,” another posted.
GK had also questioned Richard about being gay while being religious. She asked: “Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?” The Reverend confessed: “No, not at all. I’ve never given it a moment’s twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not. Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I’m happy to have that argument…”
He added of his sexuality: “Also, I was not the first. Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think – so gay.” GK admitted in the Bush Telegraph: “I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you.”
As Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes navigate their increasingly messy divorce, the pair are preparing to spend their first Christmas apart after 14 years of marriage
As Loose Women star Ruth Langsford prepares for her first Christmas without ex Eamonn Holmes, she’s likely to remember one particularly memorable festive moment between the pair.
After the seemingly solid couple announced their separation after 14 years of marriage, Eamonn has already moved on with Katie Alexander, who is 21 years his junior. But Christmas 2019 will go down as one of the pair’s unhappiest, after Ruth, 64, threw Eamonn’s turkey over him, after his lacklustre attempt at gifting.
With Ruth’s former This Morning co-host Eamonn ignoring the usual exchange of gifts between spouses, he was “too busy” to get her a present, instead offering her cash. Speaking on Loose Women previously, Ruth told the panellists: “He bought me nothing, literally nothing! The dinner went down his chest!”
Although she acknowledged Eamonn could be a thoughtful gift-giver – which Eamonn proved when he showered his now-girlfriend Katie with presents including Beyonce tickets and a trip to a safari park – he fell short that year. The GB News host also recalled the incident in 2019, giving his side of the story.

He recalled at the time: “I said ‘I am so busy I will buy you anything you want but the return receipt is about five days, so shall I give you money?’ She said just come home and as long as I’ve got Christmas with you, that is the important thing.”
He then revealed: “She put it all on a plate and then fired it at my chest. It went all over and down me and that was a pretty bad Christmas.”
In the lead up to the festive season, it’s been reported that Ruth is not looking forward to it – especially with their son Jack caught between both of his parents. A source told OK! in October: “Ruth is dreading Christmas coming up, because it will be her first one apart from Eamonn – who could be spending it with his new partner.”
The insider explained that Ruth will be focused on “creating different memories”, adding that she is also ‘worried’ that their 22-year-old son might want to spend the season away from her, because of his age.
“He’s no doubt hurting too, seeing his mum and dad go through this,” the source added. “However, Ruth knows people will be looking up to her and feel inspired about how strong she appears on the outside.”
Although they went public with their separation in May, reports suggest that they had been in the process of breaking up for up to a year before officially announcing it. Since the split, Eamonn has been photographed at events with his girlfriend, while Ruth has put all her effort into work and healing, having shared pamper sessions and nights out on social media.
She’s also revealed this week how she’s keeping busy. Ruth shared that she’s headed out to Australia to support Loose Women pal Jane Moore on I’m A Celeb and is expected to appear on spin-off show Unpacked.

Strictly Come Dancing fans are calling for a change in the presenting line-up for It Takes Two after an emotional interview
Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts are calling for a change in the presenting line-up, suggesting Fleur East should permanently replace one of the main hosts.
The emotional moment came as Fleur was interviewing recently eliminated contestant Jamie Borthwick and his professional dance partner Michelle Tsiakkis about their departure from the show.
The pair found themselves in the bottom two on Sunday night’s dance-off, competing against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe. Unfortunately for Jamie, the judges decided to save Montell and Johannes, ending Jamie’s Strictly journey just before the quarter-finals.
During their appearance on Strictly It Takes Two with host Fleur East, the pair discussed their exit, leading to an emotional moment. As they watched a recap of their Strictly journey, Michelle was seen crying on Jamie’s shoulder. An emotional Fleur East commented: “As an actor, you really know how to put on a show.”

Jamie, also teary-eyed, interrupted Fleur to ask ‘are you crying as well?, reports the Express, to which Fleur admitted: “Yeah because you got me emotional! It really did! ” Reflecting on their time on the show, the pair highlighted their Paso doble performance, with Jamie saying: “As much as I love the rhumba, I have to say that paso, that was good. I loved that.”
“I’ve got a great friend in this one, but everyone who works on the show, and all the people don’t see behind the stage. They’re all absolutely brilliant and I’ve made some really good ones and I’m really pleased about that.”

BBC Radio One presenter Dean McCullough has kicked off an I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! camp feud after angering co-star Tulisa following her strict warning
Dean McCullough has angered one of his I’m A Celebrity campmates and not due to his trial failures.
The BBC Radio 1 presenter is competing in this year’s series of the hit ITV show and has been put up for the majority of the trials so far. He has met them with varying degrees of success, having even quit by calling out the famous ‘ I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ line.
Dean’s campmates have been struggling on a diet of rice and beans for days due to his lack of stars. On Monday night, the camp lightened up as they celebrated Love Island star Maura Higgins’ birthday. However, one camp member wasn’t best pleased with Dean’s antics after giving him a stern warning
N-Dubz singer Tulisa decided to sleep in, yet Dean had other plans. Dean said: “Now that she’s out of the Leaders’ Lodge, Tulisa has warned me that there must be no musical theatre early in the morning, so I made it my mission to make sure the camp woke up this morning with the sound of lovely singing!”

Viewers have expressed their frustration at Dean constantly being picked to do the trials in the public vote. Some have even proposed a major change to the show. One said: “They need to change how the voting works so say if you do trial 1 you can’t be voted for trial 2 and then they can be voted again on trial 3 so we are not just seeing the same person everyday.”
Another added: “I don’t get it because it’s not even really entertaining? Like seeing someone scream because they have to stick their arm in a barrel of fish guts is boring after 2 trials.” Someone else commented: “I would try a ‘no two trials in a row’ rule for at least one year. You can always revert it if people aren’t keen.”
Host Ant has also begged viewers to stop voting for Dean to give other celebrities a chance to take part in the show. During Sunday night’s spin-off show, Ant said: “Well, right. Let’s all have a serious talk. I’m going to look directly into the camera here. I think it’s good to see other faces down there. This is not a personal thing. It’s not about Dean. It’s about us, just seeing different people down there.
“I think we want to see different people on the show doing [trials]. Some people are, unfortunately, aren’t getting… I’d like to see Barry do a trial. I’d like to see Melvin down there. Or Oti.” Last year’s King of the Jungle, Sam Thompson suggested fans should vote for their own favourites to take part. I’m A Celebrity presenter Declan Donnelly added: “We need to mobilise armies of McFly fans, Corrie fans (to vote).”
