I'm A Celebrity delivered another nail-biting episode on Monday evening, with the camp dwindling in numbers as a result of daily eliminations.
BBC Radio 1's Dean McCullough bid farewell to the jungle in Sunday's show after garnering the fewest public votes, marking an end to his jungle journey.
During Monday's episode, viewers rapidly took to X, the platform previously named Twitter, suggesting that the remaining contestants were less than surprised at Dean's departure, reports the Express.
A viewer remarked: "The campmates only describing Dean as a 'big character' and 'a lot of energy' is such subtle shade they don't miss him at all, I love it! #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity." (sic)
"Coleen: sadly Dean went Coleens face," another tweet read, alongside a meme portraying someone managing a forced grin. (sic)
"The camp being 'shocked' that Dean was the next to leave," yet another social media user observed, accompanied by a snapshot of someone feigning surprise.
One additional comment noted: "Alan Halsall says it was a shock to the remaining camp that Dean McCullough was eliminated yesterday. It was certainly not a shock to us watching."
Dean left as the second contestant to be voted off this series, with hosts Ant and Dec announcing his name beside Barry McGuigan's as the possible deportees.
In the jungle, Dean became a divisive character, having been the nightly pick for challenges by the public vote.
Audiences began showing signs of fatigue over Dean's constant appearances in the trials.
In addition to this, Dean resorted to the infamous 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' phrase and withdrew from his initial two Bushtucker trials, resulting in his campmates missing out on a decent meal.
While Dean gradually improved in the trials, managing to secure nine stars out of a potential twelve, viewers grew tired of him being the go-to for the trials and started voting for other celebrities to take part.
I'm A Celebrity continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
