Dean McCullough has been having a bit of a tough time in the I’m A Celeb camp as he’s the only celebrity to be voted three times for a Bushtucker Trial – but it appears one of the show’s hosts think he could be ‘calculated’. On last night’s episode (November 21) of I‘m A Celebrity… Unpacked – the show’s spin-off show which provides gossip and unseen bits – one of the hosts told viewers what they really think of Dean’s actions in camp.
During a conversation with Clara Amfo, Joel Dommett said: “I think he’s great, he’s a great guy. I would say it is quite calculated what he’s doing, and I know that sounds negative but I don’t mean it in a negative way. He’s there every day being great on telly, providing so much entertainment every day, like those tea bags, I think he’s an absolutely amazing campmate.”
However, although he thinks his actions could be “calculated”, he makes for great TV viewing. Joel continued: “He’s a great campmate that’s going ‘I’m going to make great telly every day’ and I’d much rather have that.”
This isn’t the first time Dean has caused quite the stir amongst presenters as viewers noticed that Ant McPartlin appeared “seething” with him. Ant even admitted himself that he was indeed frustrated with the campmate – and couldn’t hide it.
However, Ant quickly confessed that he “wasn’t happy” with his own reaction, which was evident in the episode, even though Dean did retaliate. Labelling his behaviour as “unprofessional”, Ant pledged to be “kinder” to Dean in the future while justifying his anger over the recent trial drama.
In the most recent task, Dean managed to secure four stars, but he quit the trial early, just like he had done two days prior. Ant was visibly annoyed and didn’t hesitate to grill Dean about his decision to abandon the trial over some fish guts.
However, during I’m A Celeb unpacked, Ant explained why he reacted the way he did. He said: “You just get to the point where you think what are you doing?”. Ant confessed that his annoyance had been visible on screen and labelled it unprofessional, vowing to be kinder in the next trial.
Fans took to social media during the show to discuss Ant’s reaction, with one viewer posting: “Ant has had enough of Dean,” while another commented: “Ant is so fed up.” A third fan observed: “Ant looks SEETHING and I feel it. Dean is not in the least bit entertaining,” and a fourth added: “You can tell Ant is so sick of Dean doing these trials already.”
