Meet Dean McCullough

Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough is swapping the radio for your telly box, entering the I’m A Celebrity… Jungle as a 2024 Campmate!

The early morning breakfast host is no stranger to an alarm, but how does Dean feel about being woken up each morning by the sounds of the Jungle?

‘I’m terrified of everything and the more I think about being put in the ground with 50 snakes or getting those green fly things that bite poured over me – well there's just no point thinking about it, as otherwise I won’t get on the plane!

‘I made the mistake of watching episode one from last year and I nearly passed out watching it. I had to turn it off.'

It sounds like Dean could be facing a phobia or two in the Jungle! But the DJ is adamant he’s going to give the Trials a shot.

‘I want to try and get some Stars for everyone. I’ve travelled the world, I’ve backpacked, taught in orphanages and I’ve gone through the mill several times.

‘But I’m 32 now and it’s time to start a new chapter and learn a bit more about who I am.’

As well as the deep and meaningfuls, Dean says he’ll bring plenty of energy to Camp.

‘I do hope to bring lots of good vibes. Every Camp needs someone to bring everyone together when the mood is low.

‘I want to be the person who makes sure everyone is ok, or the person who makes up a dance routine.’

Time for the Celebs to limber up - Dean’s ready for a Jungle rave!

All new I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! starts Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
