Who is I'm A Celeb Dean McCullough's partner as fans spot mystery man in racy TikTok
As ITV's latest crop of I'm A Celebrity contestants get settled into their new jungle home, fans of the show can't help but wonder who will be greeting the stars when they leave the series.
The reunion of campmates and their significant others on the bridge when they leave the show is always a major moment and can often set tongues wagging. This was the case when 2022 campmate Matt Hancock was greeted by Gina Coladangelo after coming third in the final, following the pair's highly-publicised affair.
Among this year's cast is Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough who has already become a fan favourite just two episodes in. The Irish star, from Newtownabbey near Belfast, has won over viewers with his self-deprecating humour and obsession with the Wagatha Christie case, and is set to face a trial in scenes that will air tonight (November 19).

But what do we know about 32-year-old Dean's life off-screen? Particularly regarding his relationship status?
The star has remained fairly tight-lipped about any romantic relationship. However, a cheeky video posted to his TikTok account alludes to a mystery boyfriend who so far remains unidentified.
In a video posted back in April this year, Dean enters a room while talking into the camera. He says: "My boyfriend's just got home. He's really turning me on... you're not gonna believe what he's doing."
Dean then flips the camera round, revealing a man with grey hair wearing a white top and jeans, scrubbing the property's balcony. The radio presenter then turns the camera back on himself and bites his knuckle in a cheeky gesture. The clip was captioned: "Babe, I'm gonna scrub the balcony. Got me in my FEELS. Is cleaning my love language?".
It remains unclear if the pair are still together and the mystery man has been notably absent from Dean's social media since.
Dean is joined in the jungle by Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse, Danny Jones, Tulisa Contostavlos, Adam Halsall, Jane Moore, Melvin Odoom, Barry McGuigan and GK Barry.
Discussing Dean's appearance on the show, one viewer shared on X, formerly Twitter: "Never thought watching someone on the toilet would ever be funny till Dean McCullough needed a number 2 then jumped up and ran out of the dunny with his pants round his ankles because of a spider. Oh I love I'm A Celeb." Another viewer, gushing over the star, added: "Apparently it’s an unpopular opinion but I actually love Dean McCullough."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
