Dean McCullough has shared how intense the conditions in the ‘I’m A Celeb‘ camp were, revealing that heavy rain left campmates struggling with trenchfoot.
In an exclusive interview with ‘The Mirror‘, Dean described the ordeal: “Imagine the worst camping trip you’ve ever been on. You think it’s going to be gorgeous, then everything gets wet, and you’re stuck there for weeks. Nothing ever dries out,” he said.
He added, “It’s kind of a thing now in camp where if you don’t have trench foot, you’re kind of not cool. It was a real thing, and it does bring the mood down. Me and Coleen were both like: ‘When are we going to get a chance to do some sunbathing?’”
Dean also recalled a particularly stormy night when conditions forced all the campmates to shelter in the Bush Telegraph for 45 minutes. “All our crocodile tail for dinner was ruined, so they gave us tofu instead,” he said.
“If that’s not a short change, I don’t know what is…from crocodile tail to tofu. I’m from Belfast, and I live in Manchester, the two wettest places in the UK. I will never whinge about that rain ever again. It was biblical.”
Having been the second celebrity to leave the jungle after Jane Moore, Dean is now enjoying a luxury hotel, focusing on regaining the 10 pounds he lost during his time in camp.
He’s also excited to spend time with his biggest fan, his mum Ann, and to Facetime his beloved shih-tzu, Freddie, back home in the UK.
