REVEREND RICHARD COLES

Dean McCullough quit yet another Bushtucker Trial during Thursday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity.

The radio host threw in the towel for a second time, following Wednesday night’s trial with GK Barry which saw them win zero stars.

He’s now been given a savage nickname by former jungle campmate Rebekah Vardy, who calls him ‘teabag Dean’.

Rebekah has been sharing her thoughts on the campmates for The Sun, initially taking aim at her Wagatha Christie nemesis Coleen, who she was locked in a notorious defamation trial with in 2022.

But her attention has certainly turned to Dean, admitting ‘he just [needs to] get a grip and get on with it’ in her latest column.

She wrote: ‘The public have found their weak link in Dean – or teabag Dean as I’ll now call him – and they are really testing him to see whether he will crack.

Dean McCullough, 32, quit yet another Bushtucker Trial during Thursday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity

The radio host threw in the towel for a second time, following Wednesday night’s trial with GK Barry which saw them win zero stars

‘I know the trial with Grace was really tough, but his screaming made me wanna scream too. And not with him, but at him.

‘Come on, just get a grip and get on with it! The hunger is really gonna start kicking in soon.’

As Dean arrived at his third trial in three days, Ant and Dec ran through the rules of ‘Lethal Lab’, adding he will be joined by cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes and spiders.

Dean had two minutes to complete an experiment, which will be worth 2 stars, in the experimentation area.

He then had to make his way through seven different containment areas, where a further eight stars were up for grabs.

Dean told Ant and Dec: ‘I like to overpromise and underdeliver.’

During the first experiment, he had to combine both a green liquid and a clear liquid into the test tube together to create a chemical reaction. 

Half way through the trial, he said: ‘This is not looking good boys.’

As he successfully created a chemical reaction by combining the two liquids, he won two stars for camp and moved on to the containment areas.

After winning two more stars in containment areas one and three, he then moved onto area five.

As fish guts poured into the compartment, Dean immediately shouted: ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

Despite calling I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, Dean was able to go back to camp with four stars.

GK and Dean were left ‘mortified’ as they took zero stars back to camp after failing the Bushtucker Trial on Wednesday.

The duo were voted by the public to take on the Down In The Drumps trial on Tuesday, in order to earn meals for the group.

It comes just after Dean broke down in tears as he quit The Sinister Sarcophagus Bushtucker Trial during Tuesday night’s episode.

It all got too much for Dean during the terrifying trial which saw him trapped in a small confined space.

As he made his way to the trial area, Dean said: ‘I’m freaking out!’ as Ant and Dec introduced him to a mummy figurine which he was locked into until he shouted: ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

Dean was tasked to answer a series of Egypt-related questions in order to win 10 stars for camp.

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!’

Viewers shared their shock after Dean quit the trial, with some admitting ‘it was only sand!!’
