Some fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! want the show to bring the hammer down on one of the celebrity campmates after they admitted to smuggling in some forbidden goods.

Radio 1 Presenter Dean McCullough was caught on camera admitting to Loose Women’s Jane Moore that he could make her a cup of tea, so it seems like he’s smuggled in some tea bags.

“By the way, I have tea bags. So if I pour you a cup of tea just… would you prefer it tonight or tomorrow?” Dean had said, with Jane saying she’d like a cuppa in the morning.

However, the exchange was caught on the cameras and microphones that are set up all around the jungle, so it seems as though the Radio 1 star’s tea-based transgression has been rumbled.

In the past, when a smuggling operation has been going on within the jungle, the show has responded with a punishment.

When Caitlyn Jenner shared some roast dinner with Ian Wright in 2019, her team was punished with the deduction of one star.

Meanwhile, in another series of the show, when Fatima Whitbread caught her campmates with contraband, she told them they ought to be punished.

In response, I’m A Celeb bosses set up an ‘amnesty bowl’ for the tea bags, mints, salt, and coffee they’d snuck into the jungle with them, and told the celebrities to hand them over to avoid punishment.

Dec did actually reference the smuggling from Dean, saying they were checking out his claims after he’d been caught on camera confessing to concealing contraband.

The presenter said: “We’d normally take a star away but they haven’t won any!”

As for the reaction from the I’m A Celeb viewers, they wondered ‘how has he still got tea bags’ and questioned ‘why haven’t they taken Dean’s teabags away yet’.

Others wondered whether the show’s producers were waiting and ‘seeing how many people he tells’ before taking the tea bags away, and admitted that Dean was starting to get on their wick as he ‘doesn’t play by the rules by smuggling in tea’.

It seems as though the audience is looking forward to a bit of drama, even if Dean ends up in trouble, though since he keeps getting picked to do trials he might already have suffered enough.

Over the years, the various famous faces that have appeared on I’m A Celeb have got creative with their contraband smuggling.

EastEnders star Cliff Parisi admitted in his exit interview on I’m A Celeb that he’d successfully smuggled in some salt and pepper ‘in my pants’, with Ant admitting that the show hadn’t actually caught that.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues nightly on ITV 1 at 9pm.
