I’m A Celebrity fans have poked fun at Dean McCullough’s dramatic decline in popularity on the show after he fell out with Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall on Saturday night.
After the episode ended with the argument, viewers updated Dean McCullough’s Wikipedia page to reflect his trajectory on the show.
Now deleted, the 32-year-old’s introduction read: ‘Dean currently presents on BBC Radio 1 and has previously presented on Gaydio.
‘His last job was on I’m A Celebrity, where he destroyed his career and image by being mean to a guy from Corrie.’
Another fan took it a step further, adding to the bio: “He’s not a team player. He tried to get Danny to sleep next to the rats and then went to bed anyway when the request was denied.

‘Maura and Richard were there eating testicles and pig snouts, while Dean wouldn’t even stick his hand in fish guts.
‘This was made worse by the fact that Ant and Dec were no longer able to hint that the last star was in the fish’s guts.’
The joke has since been scrapped, but the Northern Irish presenter is unlikely to see the funny side of it, as he shared with MailOnline before entering the Jungle: ‘I’d like to come out’. [of the Jungle] with a job. With a job at the BBC.
He said: ‘I’d like to be able to walk down the street in Belfast and not be hassled because, you know, say I’m a celebrity, get me out of here.’
But the Wikipedia saga comes after even the show’s host Ant McPartlin shared his ‘frustration’ at Dean’s lack of ability in the trials, as he was twice named ‘I’m A Celebrity’ in the four challenges he is up for nominated.
He further fueled his current dislike of him online after starting a feud with 42-year-old Alan Halsall.
The Coronation Street star woke Dean to help Loose Women’s Jane Moore collect firewood and when the BBC presenter didn’t get up immediately, Alan said: ‘Don’t feel like it? No?’
The soap star then went downstairs to help Jane, 62, and Dean later joined them, telling Alan: “You can go back now,” before the actor explained: “I tried 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 takes a few minutes for my contact lenses 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 half way, that’s why I went,” Alan replied as the pair got into a heated argument.”
