The radio presenter has become one of this year's most discussed contestants due to his habit of prematurely quitting trials. In last night's episode, the star was spotted breaking show rules by sneaking a teabag into a pot of boiling water, much to the disapproval of Ant and Dec. During Friday's (November 22) instalment of the popular ITV reality show, Danny and Dean made their way to the Bushtucker Trial area to confront 'The High Street of Horrors'.
Maura and Richard, shocked to discover they would be joining them, also headed down to the Trial area for the day's Bushtucker Trial, unaware of what awaited them. Maura and Richard were the first to arrive and were welcomed by Ant and Dec, who asked how they were finding the Jungle Junkyard, reports the Express . Ant and Dec informed the pair that since they had successfully received a bed delivery from the main camp the previous day, they had won three portions of food for the junk food buffet.
They were also informed that the Trial was their next chance to maintain the pretence, as they needed to persuade Danny and Dean that they had already participated in 'The Deadly Department Store' in an attempt to secure 2 stars for their dinner, but had been unsuccessful. Maura and Richard embraced the deception wholeheartedly, slathering each other with feathers and molasses in a comical display of acting chops. Upon Dean and Danny's arrival, Ant quipped: "Dean welcome once again.
Two out of the last three you shouted 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I'm not angry anymore just disappointed." Ant proceeded to inform Dean and Danny of their challenge in the Trial.
They faced three mock shops, each promising a bounty of stars for the camp if they could uncover them within the allocated shopping time. The duo's first stop was at 'Grim Grocers', boasting three stars and giving them a three-minute window to snatch them up. At the sound of the klaxon, Danny, keen to make headway, stumbled into the shop.
Dean, on the other hand, had to confront his most dreaded adversary - fish guts. With two stars secured, they hurdled to the 'Electrifying Electrical store', earning another two stars from a possible three within their time limit. Missing one star in the kettle prompted some playful ribbing from Ant and Dec towards Dean: "We thought you'd have gone straight for the kettle, we know you love a cup of tea! ".
Social media buzzed immediately as viewers caught the subtle jibe at Dean's previous rule-breaking, sharing their thoughts online post-haste. One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter and said: "THE TEA SHADEEE I CANT #ImACeleb." Another commented: "Ant and dec are absolutely trolling dean now with stars in the kettle #ImACelebA third joked: ".
A third joked: ""How do you they know about the tea?" DEAN YOU ARE LITERALLY ON A REALITY SHOW WITH CAMERAS FILMING 24/7 #ImACeleb." One said: "We know how much you like a cup of tea dean? #ImACeleb." Meanwhile another added: "THEY PUT THE STAR IN THE KETTLE AHAHAHAHA DANNY IS LOVING THE TEA JOKES #ImACeleb.
