Northern Ireland man Dean McCullough had I'm A Celeb viewers up in arms just minutes into Thursday night's episode.
The 32-year-old is one of the 10 original celebrities taking part in the 2024 season of ITV's long-running reality show and as all fans of the show will know, there are strict rules involved when it comes to taking part in the show - and for what is and isn't allowed.
One of the main points of the ITV series is that the pampered celebs are supposed to give up all of their luxuries and home comforts. But it appears Dean either didn't get the memo - or was determined to break the rules on purpose as he blatantly breached the rules, it's reported in the Mirror.

Fans watched in horror as Dean scurried to his rucksack early in the morning and retrieved a tea bag. He slipped the home comfort into the giant kettle in the camp and made a brew that he shared with his fellow campmates. When some of his co-stars wondered why the water was brown, he lied and said there was a bit of mud in the kettle, but promised that the water would taste delicious.
He had also gone around the camp telling almost everyone that he had a secret stash of teabags - which are banned, as per the rules.
Viewers took to X to question why Dean was being so blatant about his rule breach.
One said: "How does dean not realise there's cameras and microphones everywhere #ImACeleb." And another slammed the radio star, writing: "Nah Dean you're forgetting your being filmed. Also he has told everyone #ImACeleb."
Many viewers deemed the radio host for being foolish to forget there are cameras everywhere in the jungle. One wrote: "Looool wait do they think the cameras have gone faulty and won't see they're drinking tea? #ImACeleb."
And another observed: "Do they not realise their mics and cameras pick up all this tea bag drama #imaceleb."
Others were stunned that the celebrity didn't even try to hide the fact he was up to no good. One typed: "I love the way Dean has gone round telling almost everyone he has teabags..... #ImACeleb."
And another wrote: "Wouldn't Dean even think of speaking in code when it came to the teabags? Lights are on but nobodies home #ImaCeleb."
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
