It all got too much for Dean during the terrifying trial which saw him trapped in a small confined space.
As he made his way to the trial area, Dean said: ‘I’m freaking out!’ as Ant and Dec introduced him to a mummy figurine which he was locked into until he shouted I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Dean, 32, was tasked to answer a series of Egypt-related questions in order to win 10 stars for camp.
For every question he answered correctly, a star was then lowered down which he had to release using only his mouth within 30 seconds.
Dean said: ‘You’re so extra this series, so extra! I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention.’

As he made his way to the trial area, Dean said: ‘I’m freaking out!’ as Ant and Dec introduced him to a mummy figurine which he was locked into until he shouted I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Entering the sarcophagus, he admitted: ‘This is my worst nightmare because I can’t get out.’
As the Trial kicked off, sand surrounded Dean’s legs and was joined by giant mealworms and crickets tipped into his head compartment.
Despite answering two correct questions and successfully releasing the stars, Dean said: ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

Everyone else…rats, snakes, spiders, baby crocs ,lizards & eating kangaroo arse. Dean…… sand #ImACeleb’,
‘Dean was more scared of Sand than what critters were coming lol’.
After quitting the trial, he said: ‘It was my legs, I couldn’t move my legs. I’m sorry! I’m so sorry. It was the fact that I couldn’t move my legs. This is awful! Guys, this is awful!
‘I’ve got to go back and tell them, this is awful. I just didn’t know that sand was going to fill it up. See, if there was no sand, I would still be in there. Great surprise! That is no joke! Oh, this is so embarrassing.’
