Viewers on I’m A Celeb have been stunned after Ant’s brutal response to Dean McCullough suggesting the presenter follow him on Instagram.
The exchange happened at the end of Dean’s latest bushtucker trial, as the Radio 1 DJ won ten stars for camp.
This marked a massive change from Dean’s previous solo attempts to win stars, in which the most he had achieved was four.
While McCullough has done better in attempts done alongside Coleen and Danny, he has received a lot of criticism for his poor performances in trials.

This has led to the DJ being voted for the last six trials in a row.
Competing in today’s challenge Jack and the Scream Stalk, Dean got ten of twelve stars, leading to praise from the presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Previously, Ant McPartlin has addressed an accusation he was ‘unprofessional’, after telling Dean to ‘try harder’ after ending a trial early, and angrily stating he felt it was ‘not good’ when he was congratulated for getting four stars.
There was a tense exchange between the pair
He later said: “My annoyance came across on screen and I was quite unprofessional. You get to the point where you’re like: ‘What are you doing?’”
In the latest exchange between the pair, Ant and Dec joked with Dean that he’d ‘even got a round of applause’ from them, before the DJ responded by saying: “Next thing you’ll be following me on Instagram”.
McPartlin curtly responded, saying: “No, no, that’s not going to happen”.
This got a big reaction online, with many feeling it was a brutal response.
One tweet read: "Dean asking for an Instagram follow off Ant and getting burnt ‘that ain’t gonna happen’" with a large amount of laughing emojis.
Several tweets said 'Ant can’t stand Dean' in response to the exchange.
Another posted a laughing gif, saying: "Ant made it crystal clear—he won’t be hitting that follow button for Dean on Instagram".
One fan said: "'You’ll be following me on Instagram next', 'no don’t think so' PLEASEEEEEE THEY ARE SO DONE WITH DEAN".
More to come.
