Well, grab your popcorn, folks; the drama is just heating up! LEARN MORE.

Fans watching this year’s I’m A Celeb are not best pleased after seeing Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough taking on a third trial in a row.

McCullough has been a controversial figure on the show so far, having picked up a grand total of two stars from the first two trials that he appeared in.

Whilst this has angered some fans, others have loved his positive and fun attitude he has brought to the camp.

I personally think he’s great, but it’s not up to me.

In today’s episode (21 November), McCullough was voted for yet another trial making three days in a row, where he undertook the ‘Lethal Lab’.

This has led to a very common complaint from fans who feel that they went light on Dean after struggling the previous two days.

The first of the trial, worth two stars, saw McCullough completing an ‘experiment’.

Many felt that this aspect of the trial was easy as anything, and thus believe the producers went light on McCullough.

One tweet said: “What? That was part 1 of the trial? That? OMFG! I mean i am glad he got 2 stars but WTF was that???? Pour green stuff in to a tube and then white stuff? Who came up with that? A 3 year old?”

Another said: “So they gave him the easiest challenges we’ve ever seen on i’m a celeb so he can win some stars lol”.

A third said: “They definitely made those first two stars easier to get for the camp’s MH (mental health) and I’m ok with that”. And a fourth tweeted: “Lol the stars nearly off already, could they not make it any easier for him”.

While the opening part to the trial is maybe on the easier side, the bits that followed were awful.

McCullough was put into a small box and made to grab stars with his mouth, while all manner of creepy crawlies were poured in.

Despite this grim task, he still managed another two stars, for a total of four.

Tonight’s episode also marks the debut of Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles on the show.

Coles and Higgins are this year’s late arrivals, with much of the focus being on Love Islander Maura’s late entry.

In an interview with The Mirror ahead of going into the jungle, Maura issued a warning to fellow camp mates saying: “It’s been five years and I think I’ve matured, but I still have a potty mouth. I’m still the same kind of girl but I’m not going to go in and annihilate anyone.

“However, if someone gets on my nerves, I’m not really one to hold it in. I do speak my mind. If someone patronized me, I get really irritated. Like, that’s one thing that really drives me mad.”
