Dean McCullough has opened up about his experiences with I’m A Celeb co-star Ant McPartlin, offering a candid look into their behind-the-scenes dynamic, as well as his close friendship with Coleen Rooney.

McCullough, who became a fan favorite during his time on the popular reality show, spoke about his relationship with the show’s hosts, including the infamous moments involving Ant’s loud screams

and his connection with Coleen, who also found herself in the jungle alongside him. According to Dean, Ant, who is known for his energetic and sometimes over-the-top personality, often let out loud screams

during challenges, which became a memorable part of their time in the jungle. Dean’s perspective on the interactions, especially with Ant, sheds light on the less-polished, more authentic side of the I’m A  Celebrity experience.

Dean’s time in the jungle wasn’t just about overcoming physical and mental challenges, it also involved forming genuine friendships that continued after the cameras stopped rolling.

One of the most significant bonds he formed was with Coleen Rooney, who became his “BFF” during their stint on the show. Their friendship blossomed despite the difficult circumstances

they faced together in the Australian outback, and Dean has since spoken fondly of Coleen’s support. He described her as a “rock” during their time on the show, someone who always knew how to make him laugh

and lift his spirits during the tougher moments. Their camaraderie, which often shone through on camera, was authentic and rooted in a mutual respect that grew stronger as the weeks went on.

Reflecting on his relationship with Ant McPartlin, Dean admitted that the I’m A Celeb experience was full of unexpected moments, especially when it came to the presenters.

While Ant and Dec are beloved by fans for their professional, polished personas, Dean revealed that Ant’s screams often provided a comic relief during some of the more tense moments in the jungle.

Ant’s reactions to challenges, often punctuated by loud outbursts or shrieks, became a source of humor for the campmates, with Dean recalling how they would all laugh at Ant’s genuine shock and excitement.

Dean described Ant as down-to-earth and easy to get along with, but also acknowledged that the loud, high-energy moments helped break the tension in the camp and reminded everyone that they were still having fun despite the hardships they faced.

In addition to the playful moments with Ant, Dean also opened up about the deeper, more meaningful connections he made during his time on the show.

His friendship with Coleen was one of the standout aspects of his experience. Despite the pressure of being in the jungle, Coleen’s kindness and humor made a lasting impression on Dean.

He recalled moments when they would share personal stories, encourage each other, and support one another through the most challenging tasks.

Dean went on to say that Coleen’s down-to-earth nature helped him stay grounded during the highs and lows of the show, and their bond became one of the most important aspects of his time in the jungle.

Their friendship continues to thrive outside of the show, with both staying in touch regularly after filming wrapped.

Ultimately, Dean McCullough’s reflections on his time in I’m A Celebrity offer a glimpse into the relationships that developed behind the scenes, particularly his interactions with Ant McPartlin and his deep friendship with Coleen Rooney.

While viewers saw the challenges, the trials, and the occasional drama, Dean’s story highlights the less glamorous, but equally significant, moments of connection and camaraderie that made the experience unforgettable.

His recollections of Ant’s loud, endearing screams and his close bond with Coleen underscore the genuine friendships that can form in such a high-pressure environment.

For Dean, these relationships were a reminder that, even in the toughest of circumstances, laughter and support from those around you can make all the difference.
