I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans – and star contestants – are growing tired of seeing Dean take on all the trials, but seem to be realising why it keeps happening

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans think the contestants are starting to turn on Dean McCullough.

The 33-year-old radio host may be rubbing some of his fellow campmates the wrong way – for a variety of reasons. While the radio host has admitted he is an early riser and knows to be chipper first thing – as his early morning radio show job demands it of him – he may be antagonising fellow campmates.

In recent episodes of the ITV reality show, N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos has made it clear she does not appreciate him singing loudly first thing in the morning when she is still trying to sleep. Despite her politely sharing this news, he continued to loudly sing at her in scenes that aired on Monday.

While others are getting frustrated by the fact he keeps getting nominated by the public to take on all of the challenges. Loose Women star Jane Moore particularly objected to Dean being nominated for a sixth trial when she is desperate to undertake one herself. She turned to Dean – who is also sick of being nominated – and suggest he stay silent in order to avoid being nominated.

Her remark suggests she’s noticed his behaviour could be considered attention seeking and leading to him getting the most airtime. Viewers watching along have suggested the campmates are beginning to get wise to Dean’s behaviour and how it might be portrayed in the show.

One fan wrote on X: “Everyone clocking Dean and him always being chosen for the trials #ImACeleb.” Another wrote: “Love how they are all seeing through Dean’s act #ImACeleb.” And another wrote: “Not once has dean asked ‘but why do they keep picking me, what am I doing wrong’ for these trials like most usually do at this point. Because he knows why. He knows what he’s doing and he wants the air time. Stop voting for this loser! #ImACeleb.”

Another typed: “Sounds like all the camp mates are onto Dean and have had enough #ImACeleb.” And other berated the radio host for the way he sang at Tulisa after she asked him not to. One wrote: “Can’t Dean just respect anyone’s wishes please like just don’t sing while Tulisa is asleep? #ImACeleb.” And another typed: “Dean is really annoying. As the president of the Tulisa fan club I would like him to apologise to her #ImACeleb.”

On Monday, Dean undertook a trial called Jack and the Scream Stalk. He had to scale a huge construction while safely attached to a safety line and dip his hand into various boxes – filled with critters such as spiders and scorpions – to retrieve stars. It was his most successful trial to date – as he retrieved 10 stars out of a possible 12 before falling from the structure. Dean’s valiant efforts won him a round of applause from hosts Ant and Dec – and an ostrich egg dinner for the camp.
