The conversation quickly turned to Dean McCullough after he dramatically quit a Bushtucker Trial before breaking down in tears.

Joel asked the presenting duo what it’s like when a celebrity quits a challenge early.

Dec explained: “You prepare for the whole trial and want to see the whole thing, so when it’s called that early, we’re not going to get the full impact of this trial.”

But the pair admitted that finishing a trial early is not all bad news – especially when you’re basking in the Australian sunshine.

However, they told viewers that this year was a little different, with storms battering camp where they are filming in New South Wales.

Dec continued: “But on the other side of that coin, we all go ‘a bit of an early finish’,” while Ant joked: “Get a sun tan…not in this weather, it’s awful isn’t it.”

“It’s going to be like this until the end of the weekend as well,” Ant said.

Dec was quick to add : “But we cannot go on about it, I said this on the show, I said it was ‘cold this morning‘ and my Twitter blew up with people saying ‘it’s snowing here’.”

He concluded: “Apologies UK. It’s a little bit nippy here.”

Last night, viewers watched Dean exit the Sinister Sarcophagus trial early.

But Ant explained that viewers may still get a chance to see the trial in full later on in the series, saying: “Everyone that comes up with the trial and does the trial wants to see a trial done properly.

“Even when we’ve had it in the past where people haven’t gone through with it, sometimes we’ve brought it back, like last year we brought yours back,” as he pointed to Sam Thompson.

While Dec sympathised with the DJ and said: “With Dean yesterday, he was genuinely panicking and he has got that genuine fear of enclosed spaces, so we brought him out to catch his breath and to bring him back down to earth a bit and by the end of it…let’s have a bit of fun with it.”

The trial started with Dean climbing into a mummy figurine, as he attempted to steady his nerves.

The Radio 1 star was then visibly shaken as he squeezed his head into an insect-filled box to retrieve stars for the camp with his mouth.

Ant and Dec asked him a series of Egypt-related questions and for every one he answered correctly, a star was lowered down.

He told the presenters: “You’re so extra this series, so extra!’ before adding: “I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn’t paying attention.”

Dean had to release the stars using only his mouth, however, he quickly began to panic.

Within moments, he was shouting: “oh no, oh no”.

He then screamed the famous words: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”

His decision to quit meant the camp won only two stars, leaving them with fewer rations for the night.

Back in camp, the 31-year-old tearfully apologised to his fellow contestants.

He said: “I feel like I’ve let you all down.”

Trying to reassure him, Jane Moore said: “I totally understood why you panicked,” and Tulisa said: “God loves a trier, mate.”
