REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celeb’s Danny Jones and Dean McCullough bagged eight stars for camp as they braved the High Street Of Horrors in the latest Bushtucker Trial during Friday’s episode – before one of them was faced with a huge twist.

The radio presenter, 32, and McFly star, 38, finally ended the streak of poor performances that saw Dean shout ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ not once but twice.

As voted for by the British public, the duo headed down to the Bushtucker Trial area to face the challenge, as Danny jokingly asked Dean: ‘Fancy going shopping?’

Horrified to learn they’d be joining them there, Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles also headed down to the Trial area for the day’s Bushtucker Trial, not knowing what lay in store.

First to arrive were Maura and Richard. They were greeted by Ant and Dec and asked how they were enjoying the Jungle Junkyard, Maura revealed: ‘We’ve had a lovely time… I’m loving it!’

While Richard joked: ‘I’m really consumed with guilt!’

Ant and Dec explained to the duo that as they successfully got a bed delivered to them from main camp yesterday, they won three portions of food for the junk food buffet. 

They were also told the trial was their next opportunity to continue the charade, as they had to convince Danny and Dean that they had already taken part in The ᴅᴇᴀᴅly Department Store to try and win 2 stars for their dinner, but failed.

Maura and Richard both got stuck into the pretence, as they covered one another in feathers and molᴀsses and put on their best acting performance. 

As Dean and Danny entered, Maura and Richard looked as downcast as the jungle weather, as they shared the news that they had won zero stars.

But that wasn’t all, when asked what they faced in there, Richard panicked and described there were ‘weird Australian birds’, while Ant and Dec tried to keep a straight face.

Ant and Dec then told Dean and Danny what they were due to face in their part of the Trial. 

There were three shops, each containing a number of stars to win for camp – all they had to do was find them within the time allocated for their shopping spree.

Dean and Danny stopped at the Grim Grocers first, where there were three stars on offer and they had three minutes to find them.

When the klaxon sounded, an eager Danny was in such a hurry to get into the shop, he tripped over. 

Plus, Dean had to come face-to-face with his arch nemesis once again – fish guts. 

Winning two stars for camp, they proceeded to the Electrifying Electrical store where they picked up a further two stars out of three, within the three minute time slot.

The star they missed was revealed by Ant and Dec to be hiding in the kettle, as they teased Dean: ‘We thought you’d have gone straight for the kettle, we know you love a cup of tea!’

The last stop on their shopping trip was the ‘Sinister Self-Storage’ where they had four minutes to find four stars.

Greeted by the sight of pigeons, Dean said: ‘What in the Trafalgar Square is going on in here?’

Working together, he and Danny picked up a further four stars, meaning they won eight in total.

But there was one more twist to be revealed, as Ant and Dec told Dean and Danny that one of them must go and join Maura and Richard in the Jungle Junkyard, ditching their cosy camp life for one of zero luxury.

It comes after Dean threw in the towel for a second time on Thursday, following Wednesday night’s trial with GK Barry which saw them win zero stars

He’s now been given a savage nickname by former jungle campmate Rebekah Vardy, who calls him ‘teabag Dean’

Maura and Richard are given the choice and decide on Dean to accompany them, staying in the jungle junkyard until further notice.

It comes after Dean threw in the towel for a second time on Thursday, following Wednesday night’s trial with GK Barry which saw them win zero stars.

He’s now been given a savage nickname by former jungle campmate Rebekah Vardy, who calls him ‘teabag Dean’.

Rebekah has been sharing her thoughts on the campmates for The Sun, initially taking aim at her Wagatha Christie nemesis Coleen, who she was locked in a notorious defamation trial with in 2022.

But her attention has certainly turned to Dean, admitting ‘he just [needs to] get a grip and get on with it’ in her latest column.

She wrote: ‘The public have found their weak link in Dean – or teabag Dean as I’ll now call him – and they are really testing him to see whether he will crack.

‘I know the trial with Grace was really tough, but his screaming made me wanna scream too. And not with him, but at him.

‘Come on, just get a grip and get on with it! The hunger is really gonna start kicking in soon.’
