Tensions were rising in the I’m a Celebrity camp on Wednesday night, when a row broke out over Dean McCullough refusing to do his chores and Oti Mabuse declared: “Shots fired!”
Melvin Odoom first aired his complaints to some of his other campmates about his partner not helping him with water duties.
At first, he was diplomatic when he said Dean is a “great person” but he admitted he was not a good person to have help him with the chores. As the campmates begun to turn on the radio star, McCullough complained: “I hate doing it. It’s an awful job. I don’t want to do it anymore. Guys I can’t. It’s not for me.”
Camp leader Danny Jones ordered him to: “Get on with it mate.” Yet McCullough made more protestations and a fuss over doing his fair share of the work. Jane Moore called him out — in her words — on his “b***s***” when the radio DJ tries to justify it.
Odoom tried to diffuse the situation and got McCullough onboard with him in a positive way. McCullough hit back: “Look, no beef, no drama, I just hate my job.”
So Odoom tried a different tact. With a cheeky sense of humour, he said: “Listen, your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear!”
The camp erupted into laughter, cooling some of that jungle tension. McCullough said his partner in chores is rather “cheeky”.
