Newtownabbey DJ Dean McCullough showed off his singing skills in Monday’s episode of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here while TV personality Maura Higgins celebrated her 34th birthday.
In the newest episode of the reality series, Dean decided to wake fellow campmate Tulisa up with some musical theatre tunes.
Tulisa tried to sleep in but the camp, coached by Dean, decided to wake her up by singing some popular musical theatre songs.
Speaking about the wake up call, Dean said: “Now that she’s out of the Leaders’ Lodge, Tulisa has warned me that there must be no musical theatre early in the morning, so I made it my mission to make sure the camp woke up this morning with the sound of lovely singing!”
Meanwhile, viewers saw Maura celebrate her birthday with the campmates.
Waking up in the jungle, Maura said, “Birthday in the jungle! This is definitely going to be one I will never, ever forget.”
Following the updated allocations from their new leaders – former boxer Barry McGuigan and McFly singer Danny Jones – the campmates set about completing their chores for the day.
Unfortunately for the birthday girl, this meant she was left to with the chore of cleaning the dunny alongside Coleen Rooney.
Despite chores causing tension in the jungle in recent episodes, everyone completed the tasks without incident.

Later in the episode we watched social media star GK Barry and Rev Richard Cole’s friendship blossoming.
As the minister spoke to GK about juggling his sexuality and religion, she asked Richard: “Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?”
Richard confessed his sexuality hasn’t impacted his work.
“No, not at all. I’ve never given it a moment’s twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was all right or not. Whether other people thought it was all right or not, well I’m happy to have that argument…”
“Also, I was not the first. Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think – so gay,” he added.
GK admitted in the Bush Telegraph that she was surprised by how close her and Richard had grown.
“I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you. But, he is honestly… I think he might be my favourite person in here,” she said.
GK told Richard she used to be religious, and spoke about going to a religious camp when she was younger, where she was told not to have sex before she was married.
She said that, even at 13, she thought: “Well, that’s not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring now.”
Then the topic of conversation moved along to GK asking Richard who the most interesting person that he thinks he’s met. Richard replied: “I think I’m looking at her.”
