I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! viewers have slammed a star for confronting his fellow campmate about a nickname he was given during the three-week series.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! fans have been left raging after campmate Dean McCullough confronted fellow star Melvin Odoom in the series reunion.

One week after the final, which saw McFly singer Danny Jones crowned King of the Jungle, this year’s cohort gathered together one last time.

As the reunion episode was heating up, viewers watched Radio DJ Dean spark a conversation with Melvin, in which he revealed he was upset about their moments in the jungle. The duo came to blows when Melvin dubbed Dean ‘Houdini’ because he would disappear when it was time to complete his chores.

Melvin brushed off the comment in the tense conversation, telling the 32-year-old, “Me calling you Houdini was me telling you I needed help.”

However, Dean did not take it lightly and responded: “Tell that to the papers.”

Viewers were quick to rally behind Melvin on X, formerly Twitter. One person wrote, “Dean needs to get a grip! It was a joke; get over it!”

Another slammed: “Dean’s true colours well and truly on show now,” with a third chiming in: “#ImACelebrity #ComingOutShow Dean isn’t coming across well…didn’t on the actual show & isn’t on this.”

Other fans defended the DJ. One person said, “#imaceleb, why can’t people just leave Dean alone? He wasn’t the worst one to be on that show.”
