What did you miss?
I’m A Celebrity fans are calling for viewers to stop voting Dean McCullough for trials because he keeps bailing out of them.
The radio star has had three Bushtuckers in three days, but on the first day he quit the Sinister Sarcophagus challenge by yelling “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” and during the second, the Drown in the Dumps trial, he failed to get a single star.
He was up for another Bushtucker during the show on Thursday, 21 November, but once again started to panic and had to quit.
What, how and why?
McCullough was tasked with tackling the Lethal Lab, in which he had to stand in special containment areas with his head inside a box. Each box was filled with different jungle critters and the star had to try and wind the star off its post using only his tongue.
As he started the task, he insisted he wanted to “change the narrative”, and powered through the first few boxes containing snakes and spiders.
When he moved onto containment area five, McCullough told hosts Ant and Dec he didn’t want to know what was in there. Then as soon as fish guts were tipped over his neck and shoulders he shouted “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” again, meaning he finished the trial early, with four stars.
Many viewers were fed up, saying they didn’t want to see McCullough voted to do more Bushtuckers.
“I swear to God, he better not get chosen for another trial,” one person posted on X. “Let see the other camp mates have a go.”
“I’M BEGGING GUYS NO MORE DEAN I CAN’T COPE,” said another, suggesting Loose Women’s Jane Moore be given a turn instead.

“Come on guys, please don’t vote Dean, it’s getting annoying and we only on day 5,” said someone else. Another posted: “Can we all agree to stop voting Dean? I genuinely find it better TV when they actually do the trials and face their fears.”
“PSA when we vote today, we go for someone who will actually do the trial as that is what makes good TV!!” someone else said.
Ant and Dec ‘disappointed’ over trials ending early
And it seems it’s also disappointing for hosts Ant and Dec when the trial ends abruptly.
“We are genuinely disappointed because you are prepared to do the whole trial and you want to see the whole thing,” Dec said on spin-off I’m A Celebrity Unpacked. “There is a lot of time gone into the trials so when it’s called early you are like, ‘Oh’.”
“On the other side we’re like, ‘Oh a bit of an early finish, let’s get out and get a suntan’,” he went on.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
