After two weeks in the I'm A Celeb jungle, Dean McCullough is finally back to civilisation and is enjoying the luxury life in a nearby hotel after becoming the second person to be voted out of the show. And taking to Instagram to share his first post since the show, the Radio 1 presenter shared his first post-camp meal with his 94.5K followers.

While some are keen to load up on junk food after weeks of the camp's rice and beans diet, Dean opted for a fresh salad with avocado, chicken and tomatoes for his first meal back. And while he savoured every bite, some fans were disapproving of the choice as they took to the comment section to share their thoughts. "Dean, a god damn salad? Are you serious," questioned one follower, as another said: "First meal and you chose a salad?????"

"More leaves just been living in leaves," quipped a third, as former I'm A Celeb star Scott Henshall commented that he went for a more carb-heavy choice back when he left the jungle: "Nooo I had a McDonald’s!!!!!!"

Despite the many comments disagreeing with Dean's choice, some were in support of it, as one user wrote: "Enjoy! Nice and steady, no need to stuff yourself, chips burgers can come later. You were great!"

Acknowledging his decision, Dean said in the clip: "When I was in the jungle, I was like, 'I'm going to have a burger, I'm going to have chips, bacon,' and then I order a salad!" He accompanied the meal with an ice cold can of 7UP, admitting he has missed fizzy drinks in the jungle.

Upon being eliminated from the jungle, Dean was greeted by his mum at the end of the bridge as they had an emotional reunion. Dean and his mum then travelled to the Marriott Hotel where friends and family of his campmates are staying until the show ends.

He had an emotional reunion with Loose Women’s Jane Moore, who was the first celebrity voted off the show, and in sweet pictures, Dean was seen meeting Coleen Rooney’s two young sons Kit, seven, and Cass, six. The youngsters few to Australia with Coleen's parents Colette and Tony McLoughlin and are waiting to greet her when she leaves the show.

Shaking their hands, Dean told them: "Your mum sends loads and loads of love to you both", according to Mail Online. Coleen, 38, and Wayne are also parents to sons Kai, 15 and Klay, 12.
