REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celeb’s Coleen Rooney proved her resillience by keeping calm as she pulled a live cockroach out of her mouth during the latest Bushtucker trial, Absolute Carnage, which is set to air on Sunday night.

A sneak preview sees the WAG, 38, and Dean McCullough, 32, having to work together to get stars and meals for camp as they are locked inside a vehicle of horrors. 

For her first trial of the series, Coleen got trapped inside a vault covered in cockroaches and rats and her part of the task was to release the yellow stars from the side of the wall.

Despite the critters crawling all over her body, she seemed to remain cool and collected as she got stuck into the challenge.

Looking completely unfazed, Coleen paused for a moment to pull a moving cockroach out of her mouth, without even letting out a scream.

While she appeared to keep it together in an effort to take home meals for camp, Radio 1 DJ Dean was seen in the front of the car screaming yet again.

He was being pelted with a thick black liquid, fish guts and creepy crawlies but failed to remain calm – a similar reaction to the rest of the times he has attempted trials.

But can they work together and get much needed stars for camp?

It comes as viewers have poked fun at Dean’s dramatic decline in popularity on the show after he started a spat with Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall on Saturday night.

After the episode ended with the argument, viewers updated Dean’s Wikipedia page to reflect his trajectory on the show.

Now deleted, underneath the star’s introduction, was written: ‘Dean currently presents at BBC Radio 1 and has previously presented at Gaydio.

‘His final job was on I’m A Celebrity where he destroyed his career and image by being nasty to a bloke from Corrie.’

Another fan took it a step further and added to the biography: ‘He isn’t a team player. He tried to get Danny to sleep next to the rats and then proceeded to take his bed anyway when the request was refused.

‘Maura and Richard were out there eating testicles and pig snouts whilst Dean won’t even put his hand in fish guts.

‘This was made worse in that Ant and Dec couldn’t have hinted anymore that the final star was in the fish guts.’

The joke has now been deleted, but the Northern Irish presenter is not likely to see the funny side as he shared with MailOnline before entering the Jungle, ‘I’d like to come out [of the Jungle] with a job. With a job at the BBC.

He said: ‘I’d like to be able to walk down the street in Belfast and not get heckled for, you know, saying I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.’

But the Wikipedia saga comes after even the show’s host, Ant McPartlin, shared his ‘frustration’ with Dean’s lack of ability in the trials as he’s called ‘I’m A Celebrity’ twice in the four challenges he’s been nominated for.

He further fuelled his current dislike of him online after he started an argument with Alan Halsall, 42.

The Coronation Street star woke Dean up to help Loose Women’s Jane Moore collect firewood and when the BBC presenter failed to get up immediately, Alan said: ‘Don’t fancy it? No?’

The soap star then went down to help Jane, 62, and Dean later joined them and told Alan ‘You can go back now’, before the actor explained: ‘I was trying to wake you up as soft as I could.’

Dean then hit back: ‘Listen to me. If you’re gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright?’

‘It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don’t need to turn around to me and say ‘Do you not fancy it, Ok?’ And then turn around and walk away.’

‘I’ve listened to you, Jane was halfway down here, that’s why I went’ Alan replied as the pair got into a heated back and forth.’
