I'm A Celeb's Dean McCullough breaks silence on drama between him and Alan Halsall on show

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here's Dean McCullough has spoken out on the 'spat' between him and campmate Alan Halsall.

If you've been watching the ITV show, you'll know that Dean and Alan had a tense discussion earlier in the series, when Alan woke Dean from his nap and asked him to carry some firewood up to camp.

Following Dean being voted out of the I'm A Celeb camp, he has addressed the situation, which you can watch here:

It all started when BBC Radio 1 DJ, Dean, 32, was having a sleep in camp. As he was the only one able to carry the firewood - and fellow celeb Jane was unable to go alone - Alan had no choice but to wake Dean from his nap.

At the time, Alan - who plays Tyrone Dobbs in Corrie - seemed a little uncomfortable at having to disturb Dean, and when he didn't immediately get up to complete his chore, Alan said he would go instead.

A few moments later, Dean got up and headed straight down to help Jane, but it wasn't before he'd had a tense chat with Alan.

"You can go back now," Dean told him. "Listen to me, if you're going to wake me up, you need to give me a minute... it takes me a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to work again... you don't need to say to me 'you don't fancy it'... give me a minute... I just needed a minute."

Alan explained he didn't want to wake him up, but that Jane had already set off, so he needed to follow her as soon as possible.

The exchange left some viewers with a sour taste in their mouths - and people like Alan's fellow Corrie castmate, Andrew Whyment, and his brother, Stephen, all commented on the interaction.

Earlier this week, following his departure from the jungle, Dean has since been answering fan questions on social media.

One fan asked: "Do you regret having a go at Alan? It was a bit harsh?"

To which Dean responded, explaining it wasn't 'that deep'.

“You know, if you’re upset with someone, tell them, and let them respond, hear each other out, apologise, and move on," he said.

"Like, it’s really, really not that deep. Alan and I got on so well. We were very very close in there.

“It was just banter, day in, day out, so it felt quite normal for me to be like ‘you’ve upset me’ because that’s what I would expect him to do to me.”

Dean also suggested there were other similar moments that perhaps didn't make the cut.

“And there was plenty of situations like that in there where people were honest about how they felt and we moved on. There was no drama, there was no agg," he added.

“It probably looks harsher on TV, but in real life, it was like, it was over in a split second, and to me, that’s just life."
