In a preview clip released by ITV, Radio 1 DJ McCullough is seen shrieking as he’s locked inside a van that’s filled with bugs and slime, while his teammate, Rooney, is simultaneously trying to collect stars for camp as she’s surrounded by beetles and mice.
In last night’s episode, new contestants Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles successfully completed a Bushtucker Trial that saw them eat pig’s eyeballs and cockroaches, and were awarded with a banquet of junk food to bring back to camp.
While things seemed relatively jubilant, tensions at camp started to boil as McCullough and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall had a terse exchange about the timing of the radio host’s nap.
Follow along with our live coverage of tonight’s episode, below.
I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Dean McCullough and Alan Halsall have tense exchange
In last night’s episode, McCullough decided to take a nap just as Loose Women star Jane Moore said she needed help with the chores.
Coronation Street star Halsall then decided he would wake McCullough to get him to help Moore collect firewood.
Unfortunately, McCullough was unimpressed at being disturbed, even as Halsell asked: “You don’t fancy it? No?”
Halsall then went to help Moore before McCullough got up and told the soap star he could return to the main camp.
“I was trying to wake you up as soft as I could,” Halsall explained.
McCullough responded: “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.”
Halsell explained: “I’ve listened to you, Jane was halfway down here, that’s why I went…”
“Ok I get that but you need to give me a minute mate,” McCullough interjected.
