I'm A Celeb Dean McCullough's little-known appearance on ITV reality show leaves fans in shock
While Dean McCullough may have been invited to star in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! due to his work as a presenter on BBC Radio 1, many fans may be surprised to learn that he made a previous appearance on another ITV reality show more than a decade ago. A clip has resurfaced online of Dean's audition for Britain's Got Talent as part of a dance group called the Glambassadors in 2013.
The group performed to BGT judge Alesha Dixon's iconic The Boy Does Nothing in their audition, impressing the judges. At the time, Dean said: "We formed because we all knew each other through working in dance, but a week before the auditions, we lost two guys who got jobs in LA. So we found two other friends, and we had one rehearsal before we got to the stage."
Dean didn't just perform the number however, but also helped to create it as the choreographer. He added: "I choreographed the dance, so I was under pressure to get it sorted. We were winging it, but I think because of the pressure we were under, it all came together."

After Dean became the first celebrity to say I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! during a bushtucker trial on this year's series, a viewer posted a clip of Dean's audition to X with the playful caption: "Dean McCullough; the boy doing nothing since 2013". Another fan responded "Oh my god I’m obsessed."
After only managing to win two stars in last night's trial, Dean is set to face another trial in tonight's episode alongside GK Barry. I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! continues weeknights on ITV from 9pm.
