Dean McCullough broke down in tears as he quit The Sinister Sarcophagus Bushtucker Trial during Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity.
It all got too much for Dean during the terrifying trial which saw him trapped in a small confined space.
As he made his way to the trial area, Dean said: ‘I’m freaking out!’ as Ant and Dec introduced him to a mummy figurine which he was locked into until he shouted I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Dean, 32, was tasked to answer a series of Egypt-related questions in order to win 10 stars for camp.
For every question he answered correctly, a star was then lowered down which he had to release using only his mouth within 30 seconds.
Dean said: ‘You’re so extra this series, so extra! I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention.’
