The BBC Radio 1 DJ, 32, was given the boot last night (Sunday 1 December) by the public after 17 days in the Aussie jungle. Speaking about his time in the camp, Dean told Ant and Dec: "I have really, really soaked up this whole experience, all the trials, you know, the things that I faced. I got stuck in at camp, done a bit of everything, and I really, really, really enjoyed it.
"And when I woke up this morning, I thought, if I go today, I am over the moon because I've not missed out on anything." Dean quickly became a target for the public on the Bushtucker Trial votes due to his relentless screaming and fussing during challenges.

He was no stranger to drama in camp either. Dean clashed with Corrie actor Alan Halsall, 42, who woke him up to make him do his chores. And he had a strop over his latest chore of collecting water for camp, whining about how strenuous it is.
Fans shared their reactions on X, formerly Twitter, of the latest I’m A Celebrity eviction. Many were over the moon at Dean’s departure. One wrote: “Finally we got rid of Dean!!”. Another said on X: “Me sleeping peacefully tonight knowing I won't have to watch Dean anymore”. A third posted: “Never been prouder of this country for getting rid of Dean and Jane first - thanks lads”.
While some rushed to defend Dean over the hate he is garnering on social media. One person wrote on X: “The Dean hate on here is absolutely wild. People acting like he’s murdered someone in that jungle, calm down guys!”.
Another said: “The hate and bullying for Dean on here is shocking. I really can't see why! The camp won't be as good to watch with him gone”.
