REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celebrity’s Melvin Odoom was left fuming once again after Dean McCullough abandoned him to complete the chores alone once again. 

The presenter 44, and the Irish DJ, 32, are on water collection duties for the camp this week but Melvin was left furious once again after his campmate disappeared. 

And Dean not pulling his weight has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the camp.

In Thursday’s episode, Melvin was already up and about collecting water for his fellow camp mates and instead of Dean joining him to help, he opted to have a shower.

He told Melvin: ‘I’m gonna have a scrub and then I’ll do a couple, mate.’

This didn’t go unnoticed by camp, as when they saw Melvin carrying his fourth water bucket of the morning, Danny asked: ‘Is Houdini with him?’, referencing a joke Melvin had made on Wednesday about Dean’s regular disappearing acts.

As Melvin continued lugging around the heavy water, Jane encouraged him, saying: ‘Come on Melvin, you’ve got to leave some for Dean to do!’

As Jane said Dean was having a shower, Melvin joked: ‘Houdini does another trick again!’

As Melvin continued lugging around the heavy water, Jane encouraged him, saying: ‘Come on Melvin, you’ve got to leave some for Dean to do!’

As Barry quipped: ‘Don’t hold your breath!’

And this is not the first time Dean has failed to lend a helping hand. 

On Wednesday’s episode Melvin slammed the BBC Radio 1 presenter 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 over 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.

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!’ 

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.

And Dean appears to be getting on everyone’s nerves, including Coleen Rooney who fans believe exposed Dean for exaggerating his fears 

As the BBC Radio 1 presenter geared up to take on The Scream Stalk on Monday, Coleen quipped: ‘Dean, you said yesterday crossing that bridge that heights don’t bother you.’

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’.
