ITV I'm A Celebrity's Dean McCullough admits we 'wind each other up' as he blasts campmate
by Katy Hallam, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/katy-hallam/ · Birmingham LiveRadio 1 DJ Dean McCullough was revealed to be the second celebrity elimiated from I'm A Celebrity - and didn't hold back with his opinions on one campmate during his exit interview. The 32-year-old was asked about his row with Melvin Odoom over chores in the camp.
Melvin had compared Dean to a dirty teenager as tensions rose between the pair, who had been tasked with collecting water every day for the camp. Melvin even nicknamed Dean 'Houdini', as he appeared to 'vanish' every time water was needed.
In his exit interview, Dean insisted: "Melvin didn't speak to me, he never came up to me."

He added: "He saw me sleeping and left me sleeping but then don't come back at me like you've not done anything...we wind each other up no end."
Melvin had complained about Dean on the show, saying: “It’s almost like another chore to ask him [Dean] to help. It’s like telling a kid to tidy up his bedroom.”
Things got too much for new camp leader Danny Jones in the end and the McFly singer stepped in to tell Dean about himself. Melvin told his fellow campmates: “This is a lone man situation, he’s [Dean's] very good at disappearing.”
Dean then refused to do the chore anymore and said: “I hate doing the water guys I’ve said it, I’m just gonna have to hold my hands up, it’s an awful job and I hate it, and I don’t wanna do it anymore. Guys I can’t, it’s not for me."
Danny snapped and said: “Just get on with it mate.” Dean said: “Look, no beef, no drama, I just hate my job."
Melvin joked: “Listen, your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear." The camp descended into laughter.
