For every question he answered correctly, a star was then lowered down which he had to release using only his mouth within 30 seconds

Dean said: ‘You’re so extra this series, so extra! I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention’

Entering the sarcophagus, he admitted: ‘This is my worst nightmare because I can’t get out’

As the Trial kicked off, sand surrounded Dean’s legs and was joined by giant mealworms and crickets tipped into his head compartment

Despite answering two correct questions and successfully releasing the stars, Dean said: ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
