ITV I’m A Celebrity viewers all say the same thing as Dean leaves camp

I’m A Celebrity 2024 aired a surprise departure from main camp on Friday, as Dean McCullough was told to pack up his things and head elsewhere on the ITV series

Viewers of I’m A Celebrity all made the same comment on Friday night, as Dean McCullough left main camp.

The star was forced to leave after the trial and head to the ‘basic camp, the Jungle Junkyard. He would have to live there with new jungle campmates Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles until further notice.

He was chosen by Maura and Richard amid the stars in the main camp remaining unaware that the junkyard is in fact way more luxurious than they think. While Maura and Richard are claiming to be on rations with no comforts, roughing it up, they are actually living their best lives.

Dean was let in on this secret on Friday night as he left camp and moved into the junkyard. Initially, Maura and Richard warned him it wasn’t pretty before telling him to push the big red button.

As he did, the camp transformed and Dean finally found out what things were really like there, after the other campmates had felt bad for him and the newcomers. Dean couldn’t believe it, before he too was told he would need to keep up the pretence.

But viewers were all saying the same thing, believing Danny Jones should have gotten the trip to the luxury camp and not Dean. One fan said: “Can’t believe dean is gone in and not Danny. Another tweeted: “Why didn’t they pick Danny,” as a third added: “Danny deserved the luxury he did everything.”

It comes after host Dec Donnelly made a funny jibe at Dean, after days of awkward scenes down at the Bushtucker Trial clearing. Viewers tuning on Thursday night had said Ant was clearly “seething” as Dean quit another challenge.

Ant addressed his outrage admitting he “wasn’t happy” with how he came across, calling himself “unprofessional”. But with the star agreeing to take a backseat on the Dean hate with a “kinder” approach, it was Dec who instead decided to call him out.

It was all in jest though, and a reference to Dean’s rule-breaking in camp. Dean was caught out for having contraband this week, smuggling teabags into the camp. This was not allowed and he gave himself away on camera, leading producers to investigate.

The camp ended up being punished for it and all contraband had to be handed in. On Friday Dean took on the latest mission with McFly star Danny, and they certainly did better than in recent days.

But when the pair missed a star that was hidden inside a kettle, Dec couldn’t help make a jibe after spotting the irony. Of all the things not to look in, Dec joked he believed after the teabag situation that Dean would surely have checked there first.
