I'm A Celebrity accused Dean McCullough of being 'faker than a Premier League footballer' following his unexpected composure during the latest episode of the hit reality show.
In Tuesday's episode (November 26), the campmates endured a harrowing journey on the Fright Bus, with each contestant bracing themselves for a particularly nasty ride.
Yet, it was Dean's reaction, or lack thereof, that caught the attention of fans. Accusations flew from viewers suggesting the Radio 1 presenter might be 'faking it' on the show.
This speculation has been fuelled by Dean being chosen for a Bushtucker trial five consecutive times, even saying the iconic line 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' twice, and at one point failing to win any stars. However, in his most recent trial, he finally hit double figures and he remained calm and composed on the Fright Bus.
Despite the general hysteria among the celebrities, Dean remained much calmer than he has been in previous episodes, prompting surprise and suspicion from viewers, reports OK!.
One fan questioned on social media: "Dean screaming the least? Is he ok?", as another comment read: "Na the difference in Dean doing the fright bus compared to the trials is actually embarrassing! Just shows how much he's been overdramatic and playing on it for the camera time/attention!"
A third viewer expressed their scepticism more bluntly, writing: "Suddenly Dean has no fear.... cementing the suspicion of his dramatics being faker than that of a premier league footballer."
After witnessing the campmates' antics on the Fright Bus, fans speculated that Deans actions were a calculated move for screen time as one viewer remarked: "Oh Dean has just proved all our points he was doing it all to get the votes to do the trails to get the screen time."
The recent episode has many betting that Tulisa is set to be voted for the next Bushtucker trial, especially after Barry had to repeatedly assist her by removing critters during their latest challenge.
Revelations on I'm A Celebrity Unpacked showed that Maura and Jane are up for the next trial, with the new nerve-wracking challenge appropriately titled the Fright at the end of the Tunnel.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
