The I'm A Celebrity Mystery: One Campmate's 'Game Plan'
2024-11-21
It has been an exciting five days since ten celebrities embarked on this year's journey into the jungle for the beloved ITV show. Among them are social media influencer GK Barry, Loose Women's Jane Moore, Busted's Danny Jones, and N-Dubz star Contostavlos. Tonight, November 21, two new celebrities - Love Island's Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles - will join the camp.

Dean McCullough's Trials and Controversy

Radio presenter Dean McCullough has been voted by the public to take on the last three trials, including tonight's upcoming Lethal Lab. In his first trial earlier this week, he called out 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' to end the trial, only walking away with two stars. However, in a joint trial last night with GK Barry named 'Drown in the Dumps', the pair won no stars at all, resulting in no meals for the camp.They were placed in water tanks that quickly filled with snakes and eels. As water poured down on him at the start of the trial, even before any critters entered, Dean could be heard screaming repeatedly. Ant visibly lost his cool at Dean's poor attempt. The hosts urged them to hurry up, shouting 'get on with it' as they wasted time screaming at the water instead of focusing on getting stars in the first few minutes.Later in the episode, Dean told some of his fellow campmates that he had smuggled some tea bags into camp and asked if they wanted some. Participants of the ITV show are banned from bringing 'luxuries' like makeup, pillows, and condiments into camp each year and are forced to survive on basic rations.Dean has been accused of having a 'game plan' by viewers. The rule break dubbed 'tea-gate' by fans has caused a stir. Many believe Dean is doing it for attention and is aware he will eventually get caught. They claim his 'dramatic' performances in the trials are part of his plan to keep getting voted to do them and gain more airtime.Taking to X to express their views, one fan @moniramonira said, "Dean knows how this show goes man, scream and shout at the trials and you get more screen time. Boo #ImACeleb." @DessyArkle wrote, "Dean knows how this s**t works #ImACeleb," and @craggsy82 echoed, "Dean knows exactly what he’s doing. #ImACeleb." @pollopesto said, "Dean keeps yapping about his smuggled in tea bags as a publicity stunt. He’s a Big Brother stan, he knows all about what’s banned and what can be heard in these shows he just wants some drama! #ImACeleb." @occfox wrote, "I like Dean… but he’s not been subtle about these tea bags at all which makes it look like he’s saying it on purpose to get a bit of airtime for breaking the rules #imaceleb." @EggrollsByam also said, "Dean absolutely loving the air time for these challenges. Also knows exactly what he is doing with the tea bags. More attention for him. Yawn. #ImACeleb."It remains to be seen how Dean's 'game plan' will unfold and if he will continue to be a topic of discussion among viewers. The I'm A Celebrity camp is full of surprises and drama, and Dean's actions are adding an extra layer of intrigue.
