Dean McCullough confronts Melvin Odoom ‘over Houdini comment in explosive row’ during I’m A Celeb’s Coming Out Show

Dean McCullough will confront Melvin Odoom about his Houdini comment on I’m A Celeb’s Coming Out Show on Friday night.

An explosive argument reportedly breaks out in the episode as the two stars continue to clash over camp chores.

Melvin, 44, branded Dean, 32, ‘Houdini’ after he kept wandering around when he had to do camp chores.

During I’m A Celeb, Melvin was bummed about being all alone to complete his task and took Dean out on the town due to his lack of cooperation.

Melvin railed against his campmates at the time, saying, “This is a lonely situation, he’s very good at disappearing.”

But Dean wasn’t willing to let go of Melvin’s Houdini comment and called him out on it in tense upcoming scenes, according The sun.

Dean says: ‘I saw in the Bush Telegraphs that you said, “Oh, it’s another chore to ask Dean to do the chores.”

Melvin replies, “Me calling you Houdini was my way of telling you I need help.

‘When we said, “Let’s put the water on,” I came up the stairs and you were showering, when I came down you were folding your clothes next to the bed, by the time I said, “Houdini,” I said that, “I need help.”‘

But Dean insisted that Melvin should have expressed his issues with him in person instead of making the harsh comment.

In the Coming Out Show, which airs on Friday evenings at 9 p.m., cameras follow the celebrities from the moment they leave the camp. So it’s likely that producers have plenty of footage of her leaving that they could use before she decided to fly home.

The boozy I’m A Celeb wrap party is also filmed for the Coming Out Show.

It follows Alan Halsall’s frustration with Dean for not taking part in his wood job, which caused friction between the pair in the jungle at the time.

Tensions ran high between Dean and Alan after they fell out over camp chores, with viewers admitting the BBC star was being a bit ‘harsh’.

The Radio 1 DJ rubbed the Corrie actor, 42, the wrong way after he neglected his chores and took a nap.

Dean explained the truth behind their awkward argument, insisting that the conversation “really wasn’t that deep” and “looked harsh on TV.”

During an Instagram Q&A session, someone asked Dean, “Do you regret reaching out to Alan?” Was it a bit harsh?’

Dean responded, “I don’t regret the situation with Alan at all because that’s life.

“You know, if you’re mad at someone, tell them, and let them respond, listen to each other, apologize, and move on.

‘For example, it’s really not that deep. Alan and I got along so well. We were very close to that.

‘It was just banter, day in and day out, so it felt very normal for me to say, ‘You’ve upset me,’ because that’s what I would expect him to do with me.

“And there were plenty of situations like that where people were honest about how they felt and we moved on. There was no drama, there was no agg.

“It probably looks more intense on TV, but in real life it was like it was over in a split second, and for me that’s just life.”

After Alan stormed off to help Jane Moore from Loose Women collect wood while Dean continued to nap, Dean quickly jumped down his throat.

‘Don’t you feel like it? No?’ the soap star asked before walking off to help Jane herself after she confessed, “I can’t do it alone.”

Dean later joined them and told Alan: “You can go back now,” before the actor explained: “I was trying to wake you up as gently as I could.”

Dean then hit back, “Listen to me. If you want to wake me up, just give me a minute, okay?

“It’ll take a few minutes for my contacts to work again, okay, so you don’t have to turn to me and say, ‘You don’t like it, okay?’ And then turn around and walk away.’

“I listened to you, Jane was halfway through, that’s why I went,” Alan replied as the pair got into a heated argument.
