I’m A Celeb fans are all saying the same thing after Dean McCullough has been selected for a third trial in a row.
After the show’s second episode saw GK Barry enter the ‘Vile Volcano’, there were worries she would be selected for near every trial as fellow influencer Nella Rose was last year.
Those with that worry should not be concerned however, as tonight marks the third night in a row that Dean has been voted for, as he is set to take part in tomorrow night’s trial.
The Radio 1 DJ is set to take on tomorrow night’s I’m A Celeb challenge which is called ‘Lethal Lab’.

McCullough got only two stars last night in a sarcophagus themed trivia trial, and got none this evening in a joint trial with influencer and podcaster GK Barry.
As he returns to the Bushtucker Trials tomorrow though, fans are all saying the same thing.
One tweeted: “WHY HAVE WE VOTED FOR DEAN FOR F*CKS SAKE”.
Another didn’t have much faith in McCullough, tweeting: “You guys are actually p*ssing me off because theyre gonna die in that camp living on rice and beans”.
A third tweeted: “CRYING leave dean alone LFMKAHDIW”.

A fourth went as far as to say: “p*ss off voting for dean and gk. i’m bored now and wanna see the others do something”.
McCullough was joined in the top two voted for the trial by McFly singer Danny Jones.
Jones opened up about his anxiety tonight in an emotional episode, in which Strictly star Oti Mabuse also spoke about her brother’s suicide at the age of 16, and N Dubz star Tulisa spoke about being taken to court after being involved in a sting operation.
Jones spoke about how he had struggled with anxiety for much of his life, saying he had a ‘don’t worry, be happy’ tattoo because: “I’m always constantly worrying, but that’s what I’m working on.”
He confirmed he had been in therapy since 19 for anxiety, going on to reveal he had previously had a panic attack on live TV.
He said: “I was freaking out and I couldn’t answer the question that got asked to me.”
It was an emotional episode (ITV)
This led Mabuse to open up about her brother’s suicide aged 16, with the Strictly pro and early fan favourite saying: “In our culture, we don’t really open up.
“Every year we celebrate his birthday, but it’s the people that are still left with the aftermath that feel it every single day and you have to go out in the world and be strong and happy and bubbly and positive, but it’s tough.
“So, if you don’t talk about it, no matter how frustrating it is and if you don’t get those feelings out, if you don’t seek the help, it’s hurtful for you, as well as the people around you that love you.”
If you’re struggling with anxiety, please try talking about your feelings to a friend, family member, see a health professional such as a GP, or counsellor. You can contact Samaritans, call: 116 123 or email: [email protected] if you need someone to talk to.

I’m A Celeb viewers spot brutal thing GK Barry said before Dean was picked to take on tonight’s Bushtucker Trial
In the end, she won’t have to face the trial
Joe Harker
Fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! are pretty sure they heard GK Barry say something right before she narrowly escaped having to do a Bushtucker Trial.
It’s pretty much impossible to go on I’m A Celeb and not be showered in creepy crawlies at some point, but if you can avoid being voted onto doing the Bushtucker Trials, then you can dodge the worst of it.
Those cocktails of blended camel penis aren’t going to drink themselves and the boxes filled with beetles await a human occupant, but depending on how the public votes there are some celebrities who will be able to let someone else do it.
Last night’s (18 November) episode of I’m A Celeb had the public vote on who would tackle an upcoming trial coming down to GK Barry and Dean McCullough, and in typically dramatic fashion, Ant and Dec dragged out the reveal before they announced that it’d be Dean who had to face the peril.
Those watching the show were pretty sure they heard GK Barry say something just before it was confirmed that Dean had been voted onto doing the trial.
Check it out:
Did you hear that?
Right as Ant and Dec were saying ‘Dean, it might be you’, a faint voice could he heard saying, ‘please let it be Dean’ and viewers reckon it was GK Barry who said it.
In fairness to her, the Bushtucker Trial in question is called ‘sinister sarcophagus’ and it doesn’t sound very much like a good time for anyone.
Chuck pretty much anyone in that situation and they’d also be thinking ‘please let it be Dean’.
She also jumped up and shouted ‘YES’ when she knew it wouldn’t be her getting put in the ‘sinister sarcophagus’, but once again, wouldn’t you be glad it wasn’t you?
The reaction to GK Barry from viewers has been a bit mixed, as she ended up in the final two who might have to do a trial, but won plaudits from viewers for picking up nine stars in another trial she had to do.
She’d just had to do a Bushtucker Trial and almost got picked for another one right afterwards. (ITV)
If nothing else, she ‘bossed the trial’ and brought home the bacon for the camp even if she did rather scream her way through ‘vile volcano’.
Some I’m A Celeb fans worried that ‘GK Barry is going to do every trial, isn’t she’, and had viewers wondering if they ought to implement a rule that a celebrity couldn’t do back to back Bushtucker Trials, if only to spare those at home from hearing the same person shriek in shock after another deluge of insects.
Even then some viewers said that GK Barry was ‘giving us top tier tv every night’ so it’d be worth it.
Elsewhere in the jungle, Coleen Rooney opened up on her ‘worst nightmare’ from the Wagatha Christie trial and Tulisa has been showing off her tattoo to her fellow campmates.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight (19 November) at 9pm on ITV One.

I’m A Celeb had a special ‘smoko’ rule that has only ever applied to one legendary contestant
One legendary I’m A Celeb star received special treatment
Brenna Cooper
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! once had a particularly special smoking rule which only ever applied to one contestant.
The latest crop of famous and sort-of famous faces to take on the jungle challenge are currently Down Under, leaving may people wondering what life is actually like in the camp.
Do the celebrities act up for the camera when they’re in the infamous jungle shower? And why do they always have to wear the famous red socks?
Turns out there’s all sorts of behind-the-secrets going on, for example did you know the camp in Springbrook National Park apparently has a ‘special’ roof which protects campmates from a torrential downpour? No, we didn’t either.
Celebrities who smoke are another minefield for producers; the network doesn’t want to be accused of promoting an unhealthy habit, which means our campmates will have a lot of restrictions placed on when and where they can light up.
However, there was one star who was apparently able to leverage his legendary status to gain some special treatment regarding smoking breaks.
This particular honour was given to Shane Warne, who competed on the second season of the Australian version of I’m a Celeb back in 2016.
The piece of trivia was revealed by co-host Dr Chris Brown during an interview on Jase and Lauren’s on KIIS FM show back in 2023.
He claimed: “There’s rules for Warnie and there’s rules for everyone else. No one else has ever got the privileges that Warnie got.”

Warne, who was known to be a heavy smoker and spoke openly about his nicotine addiction, was given special ‘smoko’ breaks during his time in the jungle, according to Brown.
“He is the only one that has ever been able to have special Warnie time,” the I’m A Celeb host said.
The late cricketer would eventually make it until day 41 and finished in fifth place after being eliminated from the camp – which is in South Africa for the Aussie version.
Warne had been open about his relationship with smoking over the years, previously revealing that he signed a $200,000 deal with nicotine substitute manufacturer Nicorette to quit smoking for four months – only to be caught lighting up months before the deal was due to end.

“I had one cigarette in the West Indies and the Nicorette people know about that,” he admitted at the time, as per The Age.
“It was late at night when I had had a night out with the lads. I was very disappointed at having it and hopefully I can still try to kick the habit. It’s been a bloody lot harder than I thought.”
Warne would pass away suddenly in 2022 from a heart attack while on holiday in Thailand. He was just 52 years old.

I’m A Celeb viewers left stunned as Tulisa shares what N-Dubz stands for
“I was today years old when I learnt the meaning of N-Dubz.”

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers were shocked to discover one of Tulisa’s band’s best kept secrets.
N-Dubz star Tulisa is currently starring on the 24th season of the ITV reality TV show, with line-up also including the likes of Coleen Rooney, social media star GK Barry and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse.
The new season has been making headlines courtesy of hosting duo Ant and Dec’s cheeky nod to the ‘Wagatha Christie’ case involving Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, though it was something else that caught fans’ attention on social media.
In last night’s episode (18 November), Tulisa revealed what N-Dubz actually stands for, and it seems that not many people were in the know about what the hip-hop group’s moniker refers to.

Founded in 2000 when Tulisa was only 12, the group also includes her cousin Dappy and their friend Fazer. The trio released their debut album Uncle B in 2008, with three more to follow, including the recent Timeless, dropped in 2023.
In the I’m A Celeb jungle, Tulisa discussed starting the group and explained what the name stands for.
The former X-Factor judge said N-Dubz simply stands for ‘NW’, the postcode for North West London – the area of the capital where the Camden Town band hails from.
The revelation prompted Mabuse, who lives in North West London with her husband Marius Lepure, to say: “I’m N-Dubz!”

Viewers were also left stunned to discover the meaning behind the name, taking to X to share their surprise.
“I was today years old when I learnt the meaning of N-Dubz,” one person wrote, while another noted: “It’s been decades and I only now realise that N-Dubz stood for NW, the postcode for north west London.”
A third asked: “Anyone else who had no idea NDubz stood for North west London?”
Another commented: “Can’t believe I’ve only just found out what n-dubz meant…”
And someone else put: “N-DUBZ just means a postcode area?!”
The group took a hiatus in 2011 to pursue their solo careers, with Tulisa joining The X-Factor as a judge the same year and releasing her debut solo album The Female Boss in 2012, which included UK number one single ‘Young’ as well as ‘Live It Up’ and ‘Sight of You’. In 2022, N-Dubz re-formed and announced a UK tour that quickly sold out.

All the items I’m A Celeb campmates are banned from taking in following strict rules
Could you survive without these items?
Brenna Cooper
Here are all the items which contestants on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here could get in trouble for bringing into camp.
Every year it seems like at least one of the celebrities heading into the jungle finds themselves on the receiving end of the producers’ wrath for bringing ‘contraband’ in.
So what items aren’t the campmates allowed?

Make-up and beauty products
Long-term fans of the series will be well aware that contestants aren’t allowed to bring cosmetics into the jungle with them.
The one exemption to this rule was 2017 Queen of the Jungle Georgia Toffolo, who was allowed to bring foundation with her in order to cover up severe acne.
“When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, ‘I can’t do this,” she told The Sun in an interview.
“I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of [the spots]. So show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning.”
Contestants being banned from bringing make-up into camp is a topic which seems to come up every year when eagle-eyed viewers notice that certain celebrities don’t appear to be as bare-faced as their other co-stars.
Campmates such as Tulisa will often get semi-permanent make-up tattooed on (ITV)
N-Dubz star Tulisa, Loose Women’s Jane Moore, and Coleen Rooney are the latest crop of celebs to find themselves embroiled in the ongoing make-up saga, with several viewers sharing their confusion over the super defined eyebrows and elongated eyelashes.
“Why isn’t Tulisa and Jane’s make-up coming off?” one person questioned on X, while a second added: “Wait why is Jane also wearing makeup… have they changed the rules this year?”
The answer to this age-old question is relatively simple, several cast members will get semi-permanent make-up treatments before entering the jungle.
Food items
One of the main parts of jungle life is forcing the celebrities to head back to basics, which means no spicing up their rice and beans rations.
The repercussions of breaking this rule was seen during I’m A Celebrity… South Africa when contestants Gillian McKeith, Myleene Klass and Paul Burrell were rumbled by producers after brining in spices, mints, tea bags and coffee.
Recreational items
This one is more obvious than the others, but celebs are not allowed to bring in things to entertain themselves with while in the jungle, as it defeats the purpose of the show.
“So you wouldn’t have anything that could be distracting, part of this game is making sure that you are creating reality and having a chat with other people and doing stuff and dealing with the boredom,” executive producer Olly Nash previously explained.
Anything else?
Sentimental objects and anything considered ‘luxury items’ by producers are also prohibited, with celebrities instead getting the chance to win home comforts during tasks.
There are also strict penalties for breaking the rules, with previous contestant Joel Dommett confirming the campmates face punishment for helping out with jobs which aren’t their chores.
