Newtownabbey DJ Dean McCullough has finally faced his fish guts fear after managing to pick up nine stars alongside campmate Coleen Rooney in Sunday’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
The pair, who viewers watched be selected to face ‘Absolute Carnage’ on Saturday night, took on the latest Bushtucker Trial in the ITV reality series
As the pair headed down to the trial area, the NI man wasted no time in joking about his previous trial appearances, having been selected to face every challenge except one in the series so far.
He turned to hosts Ant and Dec and remarked: “We need to stop meeting like this.”
Watch: Coleen and Dean face tonight’s Bushtucker trial – Absolute Carnage on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
Absolute Carnage – which Coleen speculated correctly in true Wagatha Christie style would involve the celebrities being locked in a car – marked the first trial for the wife of former England captain Wayne Rooney.
Her husband may have had a part in selecting her for the trial after he took to social media on Saturday night and advocated for his wife to be selected to “entertain their boys.”
Luckily, she shared his enthusiasm as she arrived to take on the challenge.
“I’m excited for my boys back home to see me do something. Hopefully I’m gonna do well, I’m gonna try my best,” she said.
Ant and Dec then explained what ‘Absolute Carnage’ would entail – one of them would be locked inside the back of the ute with all of the stars.
The stars were locked into place with different fastenings and they required different tools to undo each one of them. The other celebrity’s job was to search for the different tools around the garage and pass them over to the back of the ute once found.
Radio 1 star Dean decided to take the role of searching for the tools, which meant Coleen was positioned in the back of the ute.
But as the klaxon sounded, Coleen was joined by cockroaches, crickets, giant mealworms and rats, whilst Dean was left to search high and low in the surrounding garage area, coming face to face again with his arch nemesis – fish guts.
Working as a team with 12 minutes to unlock all the stars, Coleen and Dean successfully won 9 stars for camp.
