DEAN McCullough was “faking tears” when he quit his I'm A Celebrity Bushtucker Trial, claim fans.

The Sinister Sarcophagus trial came to an abrupt end when Dean couldn’t cope with sand filling up into the mummy figurine.

He repeatedly apologised for pulling out so early – and burst into tears as he thought about telling his campmates he’d only got two stars.

However, the Radio One DJ went from crying to quickly making a quip about host Ant McPartlin being able to afford 10k on the sarcophagus.

One viewer said: “Dean pretending to cry, looking for the camera. Desperately trying to get nominated for every trial.”

Another added: “How fake is Dean ?!?! Absolutely pathetic!! Needs to improve his acting skills. How quick he went from near hysteria to being completely calm!!!”

Someone else said: “Dean keeps fake crying I can't take him seriously.”

One added: “Dean fake crying without a tear is so funny.”

The Radio 1 star was then visibly shaken as he squeezed his head into an insect-filled box to retrieve stars for the camp with his mouth.

Ant and Dec asked him a series of Egypt-related questions and for every one he answered correctly, a star was lowered down.

He told the presenters: “You're so extra this series, so extra!' before adding: "I went to Egypt years ago, but I wasn't paying attention.”

Dean had to release the stars using only his mouth, however, he quickly began to panic.

Within moments, he was shouting: “oh no, oh no”.

He then screamed the famous words: “I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”

His decision to quit meant the camp won only two stars, leaving them with fewer rations for the night.

Back in camp, the 31-year-old tearfully apologised to his fellow contestants.

He said: "I feel like I've let you all down."

Trying to reassure him, Jane Moore said: “I totally understood why you panicked,” and Tulisa said: “God loves a trier, mate.”
