COLEEN Rooney ‘exposed’ I’m A Celeb star Dean McCullough was ‘faking his fear’ in an awkward TV moment.

Fans noticed the moment as Ant and Dec went into camp on Sunday night only to reveal that the Radio 1 DJ was up to do the trial yet again.

He will now take on 'Jack and the Screamstalk' – a challenge that will see him climb 50ft in the air to retrieve stars while dealing with creepy crawlies.

This comes after him doing Absolute Carnage with Coleen Rooney , and four other trials since the show started last Sunday.

And when he found out about his most recent trial, Tulisa was quick to comfort the star.

She said: “It’s not necessarily critter related,” to which Jane added: “It’ll be height.”

Both of them consoled Dean and gave him a hug after the trial verdict was revealed.

Jane continued to add that she thinks the Jack and the Screamstalk challenge would be a tower.

Tulisa asked Dean how he deals with height, if that were the case, saying: “How are you with that?”

Coleen was quick to chime in before he replied: “Dean, you said yesterday crossing that bridge that heights don’t bother you.”

Dean didn’t respond, but instead questioned that the challenge was called.

Now, fans have taken to social media to say Coleen has Dean ‘figured out.’

One person wrote: “Dean would have definitely faked being scared of heights if Coleen didn’t shout “Yesterday on the bridge you said heights don’t bother you Dean” She knows his damsel in distress bit is fake.”

A second added: “Coleen just served Dean with a reality check and I am HERE for it!”

And a third person said: “Anyone notice Deans face when given the trial then when Coleen revealed he said he wasn’t scared of heights he had to stop pretending to be scared.”

With so much time dedicated to the trials and Dean increasingly stressed out by the challenges, viewers are saying the others aren't getting a chance to do anything.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), fans are now asking for a new twist to the show to be put in place, preventing such a repetition.

"Dear #ImACeleb producers - please change the rules about who gets voted for trials. I'm SO bored of watching Dean scream his way though these things," wrote one.

Another added: "I wish ITV would change it so that if a celeb has done the previous trial they’re not able to be nominated, we need to see them all do a trial and not the same dramatic Dean mmmkay"

"They need to change the rules and have a limit on how many trials a celeb can do," said a third. "Seems like Dean is being maliciously targeted because of a delight in his obvious trauma. This is getting ridiculous and boring now."

"This has been one of the most enjoyable seasons so far, so ITV don’t spoil it," noted a fourth. "If dean keeps having to do trials, they’re all going to get cranky & that will ruin it, change the rules"

"They need to change the rules where the person who does the trial is exempt the next day," said a fifth.

While a sixth said: "Wishes #ImACeleb would change rules so that who ever did a trial cannot be voted to do the next one - it gets boring with the same person doing them."

Dean is now in the running to become the star who's done the most Bushtucker trials in the show's history.

Katie Price and Gillian McKeith currently share the title, each taking on seven during their time in the jungle.

Jack and the Screamstalk puts him at six – and there's only been eight so far.

GK Barry, Danny Jones and Coleen have all done one with him, while Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles did one together as part of their initiation onto the show.
