I’m A Celeb star Melvin Odoom fumes ‘it’s a lone man situation’ as he slams Dean McCullough for not pulling his weight around the camp

REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celebrity’s Melvin Odoom was left furious in Wednesday night’s episode after his fellow campmate Dean McCullough left him to do the chores. 

The presenter, 44, slammed the Irish DJ, 32, for disappearing whenever anyone needed help with odd jobs around the camp. 

Melvin fumed that he was all alone to complete his task and took Dean to town on his lack of co-operation. 

While on water duties, Melvin said: ‘This is a lone man situation, he’s very good at disappearing.’

When tasked with carrying one pot of water back to camp, the DJ complained that his chore was too difficult.

He moaned: ‘That is no joke, the pot is so heavy.’

He continued: ‘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!’

But before he continued, camp leader Danny chastised Dean, telling him: ‘Just get on with it mate.’

As Melvin encouraged Dean to carry on fetching water with him, and the camp told him to adopt a positive atтιтude, Dean said: ‘Look, no beef, no drama, I just hate my job!’

Melvin then joked: ‘Listen, your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear!’

The camp descended into laughter as Oti exclaimed: ‘SH๏τs fired!’ while Dean was left too shocked to speak.

And Dean appears to be getting on everyone’s nerves, including Coleen Rooney.

Fans noticed that the WAG, 38, appeared to ‘expose’ Dean for exaggerating his fears, after it was revealed he would be doing yet another Bushtucker Trial during Sunday’s episode.

The BBC Radio 1 presenter was readying himself to take on The Scream Stalk as his sixth trial.

The task saw him ‘reaching for the stars’ while suspended 50ft above the jungle and surrounded by insects.

However, when hosts Ant and Dec announced that Dean would be the one taking on the challenge, viewers noticed an interesting comment from Coleen.

As the camp rallied around to comfort Dean, Tulisa said: ‘It’s not necessarily critter-related’ and Jane chimed in with: ‘It’ll be heights’.

‘How are you with that?’ asked Tulisa, but before the radio star had the chance to respond, Coleen quipped: ‘Dean, you said yesterday crossing that bridge that heights don’t bother you.’

He didn’t respond to Coleen’s comment and instead paused before asking what the challenge was called.

Following the moment, eagle-eyed fans took to X to share their verdict and accuse Dean of ‘faking’ the fear.

They wrote: ‘Dean would have definitely faked being scared of heights if Coleen didn’t shout “Yesterday on the bridge you said heights don’t bother you Dean” She knows his damsel in distress bit is fake. #ImACeleb’

‘Coleen pointing out Dean said he doesn’t have a problem with heights, let’s hope he doesn’t turn his gcse drama on again x #ImACeleb’

‘Coleen calling out dean ‘Dean you said yesterday you weren’t afraid of heights’ she’s queen of the jungle #ImACeleb.’

‘Coleen bringing receipts to Dean “you said yesterday height’s don’t bother you” yes queen get him told… #ImACeleb’.

Fans are becoming increasingly irritated by Dean who they believe is faking his fears for more airtime. 

On Monday, viewers were surprised after Dean managed to put aside his fears and bag a whopping ten stars during his BushTucker Trial on Monday.

The star has left everyone frustrated by his poor performances including host Ant McPartin, 49, who admitted he was ‘unprofessional’ last week after fans clocked his ‘furious’ reaction to the DJ quitting yet another challenge.

But for his Jack and the Scream Stalk trial, he on the whole, unlike his other attempts managed to work through it quietly and methodically, before restoring to his usual screams at the end.

But despite his impressive result viewers were left fuming and claimed Dean had been ‘faking being scared’ in a bit to gain ‘more airtime’.

Taking to X they wrote: ‘I’m actually getting sick of Dean. He seems very fake and acts up to the cameras’: ‘I’m really over Dean’s fake over reactions during trials’: ‘Dean forgot to scream for the first 9 stars beats his personal best then starts crying he can’t do it, so tomorrow he can get 11 and make out he’s improving each day, the guys too obvious’

‘Shock horror he wanted 10 stars and then couldn’t do anymore. Proves he’s a fake all along!!!!’: ‘I just find Dean so performative and fake. Making sure he gets himself enough screen time to further his career’: ‘Maybe Dean has realised he’s hated for all the fake acting in his trials – that or he’s just tired from the climbing and cba to do the acting’.
