Coronation Street star Andrew Whyment said Dean McCullough spoke to Alan Halsall ‘like a child’ during Saturday night’s episode
Former I’m A Celeb runner up Andrew Whyment has slammed Dean McCullough for what he said to campmate Alan Halsall over the weekend.
The actor, 43, known for playing Kirk Sutherland in Coronation Street, said he didn’t like the way Dean, 32, spoke to his co-star Alan, 42, during Saturday’s (23 November) episode of the ITV show.
Dean had an heated exchange with Alan after not waking up to do a task in camp. Watch below:
The radio presenter was fast asleep when the actor tried to wake him up to help Loose Women star Jane Moore with a task.
However, Dean hit out at him, and said: “Listen to me. If you’re gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright?
“It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don’t need to turn around to me and say ‘do you not fancy it? Ok?’ And then turn around and walk away.”

Taking to social media, one viewer thought: “Dean is just something else! Give up the bed for the rev. Showing his true colours here.”
Another added: “Me voting to save everyone except Dean when we can start voting people out of this show.”
Also having his say is I’m A Celeb runner up Andrew, who co-stars with Alan in Corrie.
He told Lorraine: “The bit that got me was when he was in the Bush Telegraph and basically said ‘I was asleep and wee Tyrone from Coronation Street is standing over me’.

“I just thought that was a bit disrespectful. Al’s a 42-year-old man and the way Dean was speaking to him was a bit like a child.”
Andrew took part in Series 19 of the show after entering the camp as one of the late arrivals on Day 5, along with EastEnders‘ Cliff Parisi in 2019.
He lasted an impressive 22 days in the jungle and finished in second place behind eventual winner Jacqueline Joss.
“I feel amazing. Jac is an amazing woman, I hope she gets everything she deserves in life because she’s amazing,” he said at the time.
“I’m so chuffed for her. It’s been a mad experience in there but something that I will never, ever forget. Look at her – it means the world to her.”
