Dean McCullough told Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly "you were so harsh!" after he was evicted from I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
The Radio 1 DJ became the second star to leave the jungle, following Jane Moore's exit on Friday. Dean's departure shocked many of his campmates, including Tulisa and Danny Jones.
In his exit interview, Ant and Dec reminded the radio presenter he had shouted: " I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" twice during Bushtucker Trials. Ant admitted he was harsh with the radio star, with Dean yelling out: "You were so harsh!" However, the hosts claimed it was simply 'tough love' to get Dean to finish the tasks as they thought they were "do-able".
But Dean also said he was happy enough to be going home and he had lived the experience to the full. On Monday morning in an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain he said: "I did it for my mum to make her proud." He also said he wore a necklace of Saint Christopher, who is the patron saint of travellers, while on the show which reminded him of his mother.

But he was well known for singing in the jungle and cheering people up with his infectious energy. After he left, campmates expressed their sadness at the departure.
Oti Mabuse said: "He just brought us all together, he was the life of the camp." Danny was left stunned by the departure believing he'd make the final. He said: "I thought he was final four, final three!"
Tulisa also reflected on the loss of Dean in camp, saying: "You can definitely feel that Dean has left the camp. It's almost a little bit too chilled out, dare I say. Didn’t think I’d ever see the day that I’d be waiting for some musical theatre in the morning!"
