ITV I'm A Celebrity fans brand campmate a 'hypocrite' for 'throwing shade' in camp

I'm A Celebrity fans have hit out at one of this year's campmates for 'throwing shade' at their fellow celebrities.

Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough has been involved in his fair share of drama in the Australian jungle. He's taken on several bushtucker trials, snuck in contraband resulting in the camp losing part of their treat, and he's had spats with Corrie star Alan Halsall and McFly's Danny Jones.

But now it seems he's annoyed ITV viewers by slacking on his chores, while accusing other campmates of doing the same. It's led some viewers to brand the star a 'hypocrite'.

At the start of Wednesday night's episode, viewers saw how the camp dealt with an unwelcome visit from a rat during the night. Reverend Richard Coles explained: "We had a visitor last night, a little four legged visitor with a tail, a rat."

The campmates had left some dirty dishes out overnight, which attracted the rat, so the reverend reminded his fellow campmates to make sure they put everything away in a sealed box after dinner.

But Dean placed the blame on singer Tulisa Contostavlos and Loose Women star Jane Moore, who had been tasked with the washing up. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he said: "It’s actually Jane and Tulisa’s job to make sure that the pots are in the trunk, so when the reverend was telling everyone to put the pots away otherwise we’ll get rats, what he really meant was, Jane and Tulisa, put the pots away."

However, viewers then found out that Melvin was also struggling with his task of collecting water for camp, which he has been tasked with doing alongside Dean. Melvin said the constant task of getting water for camp and then boiling it ready to be used was "relentless".

And it seemed he wasn't getting the help from Dean that he needed. "It’s almost like another chore to ask him to help," Melvin admitted. "It’s like telling a kid to tidy up his bedroom."

The realisation that Dean had been calling out his campmates for not doing their jobs, while leaving Melvin to do all the work he had been tasked with left viewers angry.

"Dean giving it the big one saying it’s Tulisa and Jane’s chore to clean up but he isn’t even helping Melvin. Hypocrite," one viewer wrote on social media. Another said: "Dean complaining about other people not doing their job whilst simultaneously not doing his is actually my pet peeve."

A third viewer commented: "Dean was throwing shade at Jane for not doing her chores and he’s not even helping Melvin with his," while a fourth fumed: "Deans moaning about jane not doing her job but he’s not even doing his!! get him off the show!"
