An I’m A Celebrity‘s feud has been revealed after Alan Halsall accused Dean McCullough of ‘performing on camera’.
Coronation Street actor Alan, 42, was the latest celebrity to exit the jungle alongside GK Barry in a shocking double eviction on Friday’s instalment, as the series’ finale looms in.
The eliminated duo both joined hosts Ant and Dec on the ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked, where they were quick to spill the beans about their time on the reality show.
I’m A Celeb winner and host Sam Thompson asked Alan if there were any ‘performers’ in the camp to which Alan promptly replied hinting to a feud: ‘Dean! He’s got a story written all over his face.
‘It’s ridiculous!’
The bold statement doesn’t come as a surprise since him and radio DJ Dean, 32, have previously clashed during their time inside the jungle – just before Dean’s departure.

Earlier this week, the BBC radio host has admitted he has ‘no regrets’ over the tense spat he had with Alan, he told fans on Thursday.
Tensioned boiled between Dean and Alan last week after they clashed over camp chores, with viewers admitting the BBC star was a little ‘harsh’.
Dean rubbed the Corrie actor, 42, up the wrong way after neglecting his chores and taking a nap.
Explaining the truth behind their awkward row, Dean insisted the conversation ‘was really not that deep’ and ‘looked harsh on TV’.
During an Instagram Q&A, one person asked Dean: ‘Do you regret having a go at Alan? It was a bit harsh?’
Dean responded: ‘I don’t regret the situation with Alan at all, because that is life.
‘You know, if you’re upset with someone, tell them, and let them respond, hear each other out, apologise, and move on.
‘Like, it’s really, really not that deep. Alan and I got on so well. We were very very close in there.

Earlier this week, the BBC radio host has admitted he has ‘no regrets’ over the tense spat he had with Alan, he told fans on Thursday
‘It was just banter, day in, day out, so it felt quite normal for me to be like “you’ve upset me” because that’s what I would expect him to do to me.
‘And there was plenty of situations like that in there where people were honest about how they felt and we moved on. There was no drama, there was no agg.
‘It probably looks harsher on TV, but in real life it was like, it was over in a split second, and to me, that’s just life.’
After Alan stormed off to help Loose Women’s Jane Moore collect wood while Dean continued napping, Dean was quick to jump down his throat.
‘You don’t fancy it? No?’ the soap star asked, before traipsing off to help Jane himself after she confessed: ‘I can’t do it on my own’.
Dean then later joined them and told Alan ‘You can go back now’, before the actor explained: ‘I was trying to wake you up as soft as I could.’

Dean then hit back: ‘Listen to me. If you’re gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright?
‘It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don’t need to turn around to me and say “Do you not fancy it, Ok?” And then turn around and walk away.’
‘I’ve listened to you, Jane was halfway down here, that’s why I went’ Alan replied as the pair got into a heated back and forth.
Dean became the second star to be kicked out of the 2024 jungle, was voted for a staggering seven trials and used the break free words, ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ more than once.
