I’m A Celeb’s Ant McPartlin sinks claws into Dean McCullough for ‘not trying’ during Bushtucker Trial – mocking star for ‘screaming at water’

Ant McPartlin has slammed Dean McCullough after the radio DJ failed to win any stars during his trial with GK Barry on Wednesday evening. 

The duo took part in the Down In The Drumps trial as they were forced to face their fears while working together to secure meals for camp. 

However the pair failed to win any stars, and Ant didn’t hold back as he vented his frustrations during the show’s spin off I’m A Celebrity Unpacked. 

As host Joel Dommett began: ‘Let’s talk briefly about today’s trial,’ Ant interjected with: ‘Oh god.’

Letting his feelings be known he explained: ‘I got quite annoyed at one point because I am a bit like if you can’t do it you can’t do it, but just get on with it. Just try it, try it. 

‘If it is physically impossible or you find it physically hard that’s fine but at least try. There was a lot of not trying for quite a few minutes until they started to try and then they ran out of time.’

Ant agreed: ‘Yeah you are screaming at water.’

During Dean’s trial on Tuesday he exclaimed: ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’ after being submerged in a box of sand. 

Referring to the previous trial, Sam joked: ‘It really makes me think like Dean, sand and water, what is it like when he goes to the beach? I have never seen scream so much without touching anything.’ 

Meanwhile the host also admitted to MailOnline: ‘A lot of people appear frustrated at Dean, well as frustrated as I was but I felt I held it together pretty well. We miss Tony Bellew, he would have smashed that trial.’

And fans caught on to Ant’s frustrations as they took to Twitter writing: ‘That last bit on ITV 2 is honest. They don’t like Dean. Ant was fuming’;

‘Ant and dec are getting so annoyed with Dean now’; ‘I get the feeling ant & dec are as bored of Dean as we are’;

‘Ant and Dec are properly getting pissed off with Dean. At least GK is making an effort…’; ‘Ant and Dec genuinely seem so done with Dean at this point’;

Letting his feelings be known he explained: 'I got quite annoyed at one point because I am a bit like if you can't do it you can't do it, but just get on with it. Just try it, try it'

She said: ‘He wants to keep the camp happy, he has got something in him so I think he’ll be ok in tonight’s trial.

‘He’s the most caring person down to earth, I’ve known him seven years and he just feels at home. He makes you feel so comfortable.’

It was announced at the end of Wednesday’s episode that Dean has been voted once again to take part in the next trial. 

Ant added: ‘Someone’s suggested that he’s going to get seven stars in the next trial, what are you thinking. We don’t have a lot of faith in him at all.’

Dean and GK were left shaking and in tears after Wednesday’s trial and as Ant and Dec counted down the seconds to go, Grace got spooked by an eel and screamed: ‘I’m done, I’m done!’

Defeated with zero stars won, GK and Dean were forced to go back to camp empty handed. With GK admitting: ‘I’m mortified to go back and tell them.’

‘Dean had it so easy!!!!! What a joke. I hope someone else gets to do a trial. I want entertainment !!!! #ImACeleb’

‘Don’t think I can handle watching Grace or Dean do anymore trials #ImACeleb’

‘What did these two actually expect trials to be like when signing up for the show #ImACeleb’

‘Zero starts lmao these two are beyond useless. #ImACeleb.’

Others added: ‘How was GK Barry actually meant to do that trial? #ImACeleb’

‘I do think the trials have been really tough so far though #ImACeleb’
