Watch the moment sobbing Dean McCullough QUITS I’m A Celeb trial telling Ant and Dec ‘I can’t move my legs’
I’M A Celeb fans were left stunned as Dean McCullough dramatically quit a Bushtucker Trial after breaking down in tears.
The Sinister Sarcophagus trial started with Dean climbing into a mummy figurine, as he attempted to steady his nerves.
The Radio 1 star was then visibly shaken as he squeezed his head into an insect-filled box to retrieve stars for the camp with his mouth.
Ant and Dec asked him a series of Egypt-related questions and for every one he answered correctly, a star was lowered down.
He told the presenters: “You’re so extra this series, so extra!’ before adding: “I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention.”
Dean had to release the stars using only his mouth, however, he quickly began to panic.
Within moments, he was shouting: “oh no, oh no”.
He then screamed the famous words: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”
His decision to quit meant the camp won only two stars, leaving them with fewer rations for the night.
Back in camp, the 31-year-old tearfully apologised to his fellow contestants.
He said: “I feel like I’ve let you all down.”
Trying to reassure him, Jane Moore said: “I totally understood why you panicked,” and Tulisa said: “God loves a trier, mate.”
Fans were divided over Dean quitting, with some claiming his tears were fake.
One said on X: “Get DEAN out – shocking, fake stuff.”
Another penned: “Not having this Dean at all. Fake as out. Knows he’ll now be picked for more trials”
Over on I’m A Celeb’s spin off show Unpacked, Dec revealed the presenters were forced to “calm Dean down” off air.
Dec shared after Tuesday’s show: “He was geniunely panicking.
“He has that fear of enclosed spaces.”
Joel asked the presenters: “Do the crew get frustrated when someone quits a trial?”
Ant replied: “Oh yeah.
“Everyone that builds a trial and comes up with a trial just wants to see a trial done properly.”
Dean and GK Barry have been next to do a Bushtucker Trial.
It’s no surprise; as they’ve both screamed their way through their first trials.
