I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here fans think that have found the 'next Dean McCullough' as they shared their belief that they'll now get voted to do all the upcoming Bushtucker trials.

The BBC Radio 1 presenter has been a regular visitor to the trial clearing area with hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. During the latest instalment of jungle action on Monday night (Novemebr 25), viewers saw the BBC Radio 1 star preparing to take on his sixth trial of the ITV reality show's 2024 series so far, titled Jack and the Scream Stalk.

It saw Dean shine more then has has done in any other trial as he earned ten out of 12 stars for camp, pluse a round of applause from Ant and Dec.

His latest success comes after his previous struggles in the trials, which saw him say those famous eight words - I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! - twice, until he was partnered with Coleen Rooney and the pair bagged nine out of a possible 12 stars before running out of time.

But Dean is set to actually get a break from the Bushtucker trials as it was revealed on Unpacked that Maura Higgins and Jane Moore will team up to face Fright at the End of the Tunnel during Tuesday night's (November 26) episode.

The news was confirmed after the main show on spin-off programme, I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked, on ITV2. It was then shared on the show's Instagram page with the caption: "As revealed on I’m A Celebrity Unpacked, your votes mean Jane and Maura will need to brave their way through ‘Fright at the End of the Tunnel’ tomorrow night! #ImACeleb."

However, it was at the end of the first I'm A Celeb episode of the week that Maura's actions caused her to be dubbed 'the next Dean'. I'm A Celeb fans saw, in the dark of night after the campmates had enjoyed their dinner of ostrich egg, there was an unexpected twist in store as a laminate was delivered into camp, as well as a bag of bus tickets.

The challenge will see each celebrity given the chance to win a piece of luggage each from the luggage rack, described as containting holiday essentials, and even a tasty treat.

The challenge was simple: the campmates had to endure the bus and work within their rows of three to escape it, passing four stops on its journey. To do this, each row would wait until their stop to manoeuvre three tokens across the bar to the stop button as fast as they could. Every token won, would equate to one piece of luggage.

As each celebrity took their seats, birthday girl Maura Higgins got a shock when she realised she was at the back of the bus and would therefore have to endure the longest trip.

One said: "I think Maura could the next victim for trials, now that Dean has done so well. #ImACeleb." Another commented: "Maura will scream which will probably get her to become the new Dean #ImaCeleb." A third wrote: "Watch Maura become the new dean after this one she will be doing every one after this one." A fourth added: "Maura is going to be the next Dean and getting voted for all the trials after that."
