I’m A Celeb followers in hysterics as Ant McPartlin TELLS OFF Dean McCullough in stern chat earlier than his third trial

I’m A Celebrity fans were left in hysterics after Ant McPartlin told off Dean McCullough before he started his third Bushtucker trial in Thursday’s episode.

Viewers noticed Ant was ‘lowkey mad’ at Dean for ‘not trying properly’ in his first two trials and so urged the radio host to ‘try harder’.

As Dean arrived at his third trial in three days, Ant and Dec ran through the rules of ‘Lethal Lab’, adding he will be joined by cockroaches, crickets and mealworms, giant lizards, snakes and spiders. 

During the very stern chat, Dean said to Ant: ‘Are you telling me off?’

Viewers wrote on X: ‘Ant is like the head master telling Dean off #ImACeleb’,

‘Ant being lowkey mad at Dean is too funny #ImACeleb’,

‘Not Ant telling Dean off’, Ant can’t be arsed with Dean’, ‘Ant deffo hates Dean’, ‘ant is not holding back with dean’.

Dean called ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ half way through the trial after getting spooked from fish guts.

After spiders on his head, snakes around his neck, green ants in his arms and cockroaches around his head, but it all got too much for Dean when fish guts smothered the back of his neck. 

Dean had two minutes to complete an experiment, which will be worth 2 stars, in the experimentation area.

He then had to make his way through seven different containment areas, where a further eight stars were up for grabs.

Dean told Ant and Dec: ‘I like to overpromise and underdeliver.’

During the first experiment, he had to combine both a green liquid and a clear liquid into the test tube together to create a chemical reaction. 

Half way through the trial, he said: ‘This is not looking good boys.’

As he successfully created a chemical reaction by combining the two liquids, he won two stars for camp and moved on to the containment areas.

After winning two more stars in containment areas one and three, he then moved onto area five.

As fish guts poured into the compartment, Dean immediately shouted: ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

Talking to viewers after the trial aired, Ant said: ‘What the b***** h***, he only gets four stars and they pamper him. It’s not good is it, he literally got four out of ten!’ 

Ant slammed Dean after the radio DJ failed to win any stars during his trial with GK Barry on Wednesday evening. 

The duo took part in the Down In The Drumps trial as they were forced to face their fears while working together to secure meals for camp. 

However the pair failed to win any stars, and Ant didn’t hold back as he vented his frustrations during the show’s spin off I’m A Celebrity Unpacked. 

As host Joel Dommett began: ‘Let’s talk briefly about today’s trial,’ Ant interjected with: ‘Oh god.’

Letting his feelings be known he explained: ‘I got quite annoyed at one point because I am a bit like if you can’t do it you can’t do it, but just get on with it. Just try it, try it. 

‘If it is physically impossible or you find it physically hard that’s fine but at least try. There was a lot of not trying for quite a few minutes until they started to try and then they ran out of time.’

Sam Thompson then agreed as he added: ‘What you are saying as well is you are standing screaming at nothing at this point in time, like you are just getting rained on.’

Ant agreed: ‘Yeah you are screaming at water.’

During Dean’s trial on Tuesday he exclaimed: ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’ after being submerged in a box of sand. 

Referring to the previous trial, Sam joked: ‘It really makes me think like Dean, sand and water, what is it like when he goes to the beach? I have never seen scream so much without touching anything.’ 

Meanwhile the host also admitted to MailOnline: ‘A lot of people appear frustrated at Dean, well as frustrated as I was but I felt I held it together pretty well. We miss Tony Bellew, he would have smashed that trial.’

And fans caught on to Ant’s frustrations as they took to Twitter writing: ‘That last bit on ITV 2 is honest. They don’t like Dean. Ant was fuming’;

‘Ant and dec are getting so annoyed with Dean now’; ‘I get the feeling ant & dec are as bored of Dean as we are’;

‘Ant and Dec are properly getting pissed off with Dean. At least GK is making an effort…’; ‘Ant and Dec genuinely seem so done with Dean at this point’;

‘we’re all just collectively choosing dean to see how far we can push ant aren’t we?’

Meanwhile Dean’s best friend Rachel Todd defended the star as she appeared on Lorraine on Thursday morning. 

She said: ‘He wants to keep the camp happy, he has got something in him so I think he’ll be ok in tonight’s trial.

‘He’s the most caring person down to earth, I’ve known him seven years and he just feels at home. He makes you feel so comfortable.’

It was announced at the end of Wednesday’s episode that Dean has been voted once again to take part in the next trial. 

Ant added: ‘Someone’s suggested that he’s going to get seven stars in the next trial, what are you thinking. We don’t have a lot of faith in him at all.’

Dean and GK were left shaking and in tears after Wednesday’s trial and as Ant and Dec counted down the seconds to go, Grace got spooked by an eel and screamed: ‘I’m done, I’m done!’

Defeated with zero stars won, GK and Dean were forced to go back to camp empty handed. With GK admitting: ‘I’m mortified to go back and tell them.’

Fans of the show also rushed to X to brand the duo as ‘useless,’ while others defended them and insisted the trial was ‘impossible’.

Viewers wrote: ‘Please, nobody defend these two. I don’t care if you wear GK pyjamas or pray to Dean every night in your Dean shrine….they were awful in that trial. Pathetic. #ImACeleb PLEASE KEEP VOTING THEM IN.’

‘That was probably the most pathetic attempt at a trial I’ve ever seen #ImACeleb’

‘Dean had it so easy!!!!! What a joke. I hope someone else gets to do a trial. I want entertainment !!!! #ImACeleb’

‘Don’t think I can handle watching Grace or Dean do anymore trials #ImACeleb’

‘What did these two actually expect trials to be like when signing up for the show #ImACeleb’

‘Zero starts lmao these two are beyond useless. #ImACeleb.’

Others added: ‘How was GK Barry actually meant to do that trial? #ImACeleb’

‘I do think the trials have been really tough so far though #ImACeleb’

‘There was no space for grace to swim down & the box was too full – it was literally impossible? #ImACeleb’
