Former I’m A Celeb star Dean McCullough says Jack Osbourne ‘shouldn’t be in the jungle’ amid his ongoing feud with Kelly Brook

by

Dean McCullough, who previously appeared on ‘I’m A Celebrity…’, believes Jack Osbourne deserves to still be on the show, despite his current conflict with Kelly Brook.

The Radio 1 DJ, age 33, and a former contestant on the ITV show, believes the challenges of being in camp would be overwhelming for the TV personality, especially so soon after the recent loss of his father, Ozzy Osbourne, just four months ago.

Black Sabbath’s iconic singer passed away from heart failure at his home in Buckinghamshire on July 22nd, at the age of 76. Since then, viewers have seen his son, Jack, 40, become visibly upset and argue with his sister, Kelly, 45.

Their first disagreement happened when she criticized his method for preparing potatoes, and the tension between them lingered after that.

Dean expressed concern for Jack, saying he seemed really down and wasn’t ready for what he was facing. He honestly didn’t think Jack should be involved right now, as it was still too early.

It’s only been a few months since his father passed away, and being in the jungle is incredibly stressful and emotionally challenging. It’s a tough environment, and I think he really needs some help and encouragement right now.

But the DJ was quick to praise show producers who he said would be on hand to support Jack. 

I was so interested to hear what he said at the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards! He mentioned knowing the team really well, and that they did a thorough check-up before everything started. He seems confident that whoever’s involved is being well cared for, but he added that if he were in that situation, he’d definitely be watching over things himself. It’s reassuring to know he’s so considerate!

A source told The Sun that the team behind I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is closely watching what’s happening with Jack.

They added: ‘Jack has looked dejected at times and clearly has a lot on his mind.

ITV takes the well-being of its contestants very seriously, with producers constantly monitoring them and providing support around the clock – especially when they’re facing difficult challenges.

This follows a strong statement from Jack’s sister, Kelly, who accused his opponent of being a ‘bully’ and acting in a way that seemed insincere, after a disagreement with her brother.

The 41-year-old criticized Kelly on Instagram, calling her ‘overly dramatic’ after Kelly reacted strongly to gutting a fish on Wednesday night’s TV show.

Kelly’s brother, Jack, noticed her having trouble making dinner and kindly offered to help, asking, ‘Can I cut up the fish for you?’

Kelly, 45, initially accepted Jack’s offer, but later told the cameras that he aggressively pushed her aside. She explained that Jack got very excited when he saw the fish – she compared his reaction to Christmas – and rushed forward, knocking her out of the way in a primal manner. Kelly then asserted that she was determined to catch the fish herself.

Kelly was determined to prepare the fish herself, but she kept getting nauseous from the smell. Sharon Osbourne thought this was just for show.

Osbourne has come to her brother’s defense, explaining that the conversation sparked her protective feelings and made her want to confront the Heart Radio presenter due to her critical tone.

In a post on Instagram, she expressed her dislike for Kelly Brook, accusing her of being overly dramatic and attention-seeking during a recent incident involving getting to the food. She described feeling protective and even wanting to confront Brook, feeling like she was behaving like a bully.

Following comedian Eddie Kadi’s success in Wednesday’s challenge – earning six stars – the camp received a meal of eel.

Jack quickly asked who was cooking dinner, and Kelly explained that she and Martin Kemp were taking care of it for the night.

She told her fellow contestants that while she couldn’t promise the dish would be amazing, it would at least be edible and properly cooked. In a separate interview, she explained that she enjoys cooking, but when she saw the eel – complete with skin, fins, teeth, and eyes – she realized how much work was involved in preparing it.

Jack, now the go-to person for cooking at camp, kindly offered to assist Kelly after she didn’t react well to the fish.

They argued about who would clean and cook the eel, but Kelly ended up doing it, despite being visibly bothered by the smell. When she stepped away for a moment, Jack told her to try breathing through her nose.
