Queen of Clean Kim Woodburn didn’t hold back as she spoke about I’m a Celebrity star Dean McCullough, 32.
TV icon Kim came in 2nd place during her own time in the jungle back in 2009, conquering five trials to show off her major backbone. Considering her time on the show, Kim had little patience for Dean’s less impressive antics so far.
“Look, a bigger coward I don’t think I’ll ever meet in my entire life. I can put up with that, but I can’t put up with his selfishness,” Kim said, slamming Dean’s choice to ask fellow contestant Danny Jones, 38, to sleep in the junkyard while keeping the luxury camp to himself.
The Celebrity Big Brother star explained to the Mirror and WhichBingo that she wanted some evidence of Dean taking care of the others more, saying: “He’s so self-centred… he’s a frightened man, but he couldn’t care less about anybody as long as he’s alright,” she said.
“Well they’re now calling him Houdini because he keeps disappearing! He’s got trials to do, he’s got water to get- they can’t find him. He really is a man that has no respect for anybody. He’s a horror. An absolute horror. When he doesn’t care how his campmates are, ‘you can sleep in that rotten bed,’ that’s not a nice person. That’s not nice.”

“You know what tickles me? When he came back from the fourth trial, once again an utter failure, they gave him a flaming bubble bath! ‘Let’s run a bath for you for your fourth failure, oh we’ll get you some bubbles,’” she mocked.
“He caused all this, are they nuts? I’d have drowned the beggar! Drowned him right in the bubble bath!”
Despite all of Dean’s struggles in his trials, however, Kim didn’t believe in fan’s theories that he’d quit the show.
“When you’re as crafty as Dean - and God is he crafty - he’s got to get that big, fat cheque. So he’s not going to quit. Where money’s concerned he’s on the ball. Anything else, he’s flaming hopeless, cowardly custard, and I think he’s nasty with his lack of consideration for anybody in there and he doesn’t care as long as he’s comfortable,” Kim judged.
While Kim made her low opinion of Dean clear, she did add that one contestant had surprised her. Kim shared that Coleen Rooney, 38, had “impressed” her on the show, and even said she thought that Wayne’s wife could make it all the way.
“I’m impressed with Coleen Rooney,” she said. “I knew nothing about her personality, I’m very impressed with that lady. She’s worth a s**t load of money, and yet she’s gone in there… the trial that she did, underground with rats! I think she’s got a jolly good chance of being up there with one of the winners. Wouldn’t surprise me.”
Kim divulged: “She’s pleasantly surprised me. No big head, no putting an act on. A super nice woman. Coleen, you’re absolutely lovely, darling. Keep it up!”
