I’m A Celebrity 2024 did not go Dean McCullough’s way yet again on Thursday night, as he struggled with his Bushtucker Trial for the third time in three days

There was more upset on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity on Thursday night as Dean McCullough found himself struggling in yet another trial.

For the third time in a matter of days, the radio star failed to secure all stars on offer in his Bushtucker Trial, meaning a small meal once more for the camp. Just days ago we saw him scream and cry after being locked into a mummy figurine, with it slowly filling up with sand

Having shared that being buried was one of his big fears, it all got too much for the shaken star and he quit the trial two questions in. The next day, he and GK Barry managed to stick the trial out, but they weren’t able to win a single star.

There were more screams and tears, resulting in host Ant McPartlin “losing his cool”, with him later fuming over the pair for wasting time. Things did not get much better on Thursday night, with little redemption in sight for the campmate.

The latest trial saw him try the task and he did get further in than his first trial. But it once again all got too much for him and he was left screaming the famous words: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”

Dean’s head was placed in a box in one part of the challenge, with snakes and bugs joining him while he had to use his tongue to secure the stars. He also had to put his hands through some boxes in another task while receiving shocks, while a third challenge saw him having to move a star, with his tongue, from one end to the other – with huge spiders on his head.

As the trial came to an end, Dean was visibly shaking and annoyed at having to end it once again. He had his head in his hands before he was shown what was in the boxes, as hosts Ant and Dec didn’t look happy. Dean did manage to secure four stars for camp though, something he said he was happy about.

Once again, Dean faced the cruel task of having to tell his campmates all about the drama, and the fact he’d got no stars. With campmates now super hungry, having had two days of rationed meals, it was clear Dean was dreading telling them.

Amid his unlucky third stint at the trial clearing, viewers have been left wondering if Dean will quit the show. He’s been tipped to walk for the past few days after his terror ordeal at the first and second trial, with the third now also ending badly.

Taking to X, one fan posted: “Mate mark my words Dean will be the first to walk.” Another viewer commented: “Dean is not gonna last,” as a third posted: “Shocked Dean has not quit already.”
