Following last night’s dramatic episode of I’m A Celeb, one body language expert has unpacked the intense interaction between presenter Ant McPartlin and eliminated contestant Dean McCullough.
Judi James has revealed how subtle gestures and microexpressions during Dean’s exit interview last night (December 1) pointed to a possible grudge.

Dean McCullough in ‘grudge’ with I’m A Celeb host Ant
BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough became the second celebrity to leave the jungle on Sunday night. His elimination came after a stint marked by controversial moments and underwhelming performances in challenges.
Dean’s tenure on I’m A Celebrity was far from smooth sailing. He faced backlash for repeatedly quitting trials and leaving camp without meals.
Adding fuel to the fire, Dean was criticised in camp for avoiding chores and being “selfish”.
Meanwhile, co-host Ant McPartlin was accused of having a ‘feud’ with Dean, after he appeared visibly irritated with Dean’s poor performance in the Bushtucker trials.
Dean’s jungle experience ended in an ‘awkward’ conversation with Ant and Dec.
Judi James analysed the heated moment in detail for Paddy Power Games.
“Dean McCullough’s exit interview showed a complete and dramatic switch of mood last night as Ant decided to address what he spun as his ‘tough love’ response to Dean’s poor performances,” she explained.
“There were at least six body language cues from Ant, Dean and Dec that suggested this could have the makings of a real grudge match.”
