One campmate who has seen his popularity plummet is Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, who was branded “annoying” by furious viewers during the first episode. He was last in the first challenge of the series, and was seen gagging and almost vomiting as he tried to drink a blend of fish eye and bull's penis with vomit fruit garnish. Now, the 32-year-old has seen his odds to be crowned King of the Jungle slashed to 10/1, with Maura Higgins, who hasn’t even arrived in the I’m A Celeb camp yet, close behind at 12/1.

But yes they are,” Dean told MailOnline, as he insisted he wouldn’t be impressed with campmates “putting their feet up”.
