I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Melvin Odoom was left being comforted and defended by viewers at home as they felt sorry for the TV star due to Dean McCullough’s disappearing act once again.
Last night, Odoom outed McCullough for not pulling his weight in camp with helping to refill the water for the rest of his campmates.
The TV presenter was struggling to fulfil the water duties by himself, and told his campmates of McCullough: “This is a lone man situation, he’s very good at disappearing.”
After catching him and having a word, McCullough finally began to help and carried a pot of water back down the hill, but moaned: “That is no joke, the pot is so heavy.
“I hate doing the water guys I’ve said it, I’m just gonna have to hold my hands up, it’s an awful job and I hate it, and I don’t wanna do it anymore. Guys I can’t, it’s not for me!”
With his campmates growing more and more frustrated with his moaning, camp leader Danny Jones bluntly responded: “Just get on with it mate.”

Once again airing his grievances about the chore, McCullough snapped back: “Look, no beef, no drama, I just hate my job!”
Odoom joked: “Listen, your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear!” leaving the camp to descend into laughter and Oti Mabuse to shout: “Shots fired!” leaving McCullough too shocked to speak.
Tonight, viewers were left feeling sorry for Odoom, as he once again struggled to get McCullough to pull his weight around camp.
In the morning, Odoom had already been up and collecting water for the rest of the camp to have a morning drink and begin cooking their breakfast – however, McCullough decided to take a shower first.

He told Odoom: “I’m gonna have a scrub and then I’ll do a couple, mate.”
However, it didn’t take long for the camp to notice McCullough was nowhere to be seen again, and when they saw Odoom carrying his fourth water bucket, Jones asked: “Is Houdini with him?”
As Jane Moore revealed McCullough was having a shower, Odoom joked: “Houdini does another trick again!”
Odoom continued lugging around the heavy water, leaving Moore to encourage him, adding: “Come on Melvin, you’ve got to leave some for Dean to do!”
As Barry McGuigan cheekily quipped: “Don’t hold your breath!”
Viewers aired their frustrations for Odoom on their X account, leaving one to note: “Melvin is getting annoyed, I don’t blame him! Really starting to feel for him!”

Someone else said: “Oh Melvin… you can really see this is starrting to get to him now! I hope they change the chores soon!”
“You can do it Melvin! Someone needs to confront Dean for real at this point,” a third penned, before a fourth quipped: “Melvin needs to revolt. Dean needs to pull his finger out his a**e. Melvni looks so deflated!”
Another added: “Melvin… you’re breaking my heart!” (sic)
