I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has revealed the second celebrity to leave the camp.
Following Jane Moore’s exit on Friday, tonight’s (December 1) episode saw the celebrities bid farewell to another campmate.
Once again, hosts Ant and Dec entered the jungle to announce the results of the public vote. The duo revealed that Barry McGuigan and Dean McCullough were both at risk of leaving the show, before radio presenter Dean became the second celebrity to head home.
Reflecting on his time in the Australian jungle, Dean told Ant and Dec: “I still can’t believe I’m here [on the show].”

“I have really, really soaked up this whole experience. All the trials, you know, the things that I’ve feared, got stuck in at camp, done a bit of everything and I’ve really, really, really enjoyed it.”
Dean admitted the experience was “nothing like what I expected it to be”, adding that “I didn’t expect it to touch me as much as it has. I’ve really learnt so much about myself.”
He concluded: “Life is better when it’s simpler. You really don’t need to be on your phone all the time… You can literally just sit in the moment and watch what’s going on around you.”
Elsewhere, tonight’s episode also saw a touching moment between the campmates, as Barry and Oti Mabuse consoled an emotional Melvin Odoom.

After a heavy overnight storm, Melvin’s hammock was completely soaked and he tried to salvage some sleep inside the Bush Telegraph. The presenter woke up feeling rough and quickly became teary.
Barry comforted him with a hug and a pep talk, telling him: “You’ll be alright, you’re gonna be absolutely fine. We’re all here for you, any time you want us to help you or talk to you whatever.”
Oti also offered some encouragement to her friend and reminded him why they were taking part in the show. “This is bigger than just you and I and we constantly have to remember why we’re here, what we stand for and who is watching us.
“And what it means when we do well. You know what it means? That’s why we wake up every day,” she added.
The pair shared another a heart-warming moment, as Melvin asked her to stay with him a little longer. “I’ll stay here as long as you need, I won’t go anywhere. I’ve got you until the end,” Oti replied.
I’m a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
