Some I'm A Celeb viewers are suggesting that Dean McCullough should be 'medically exempt' from certain trials after brutally being voted for a string of Bushtucker trials this week.

It's safe to say that I'm A Celeb's Dean has been going through it in the jungle after he quit a trial just minutes in earlier this week, with presenters Ant and Dec admitting they were 'disappointed' with his performance.

But we all know how it goes, with the public now having voted for poor Dean for three of the grisly trials in a row.

It seems as though his campmates haven't yet seen red, despite being given one portion of rice and beans to eat all day if no stars are brought back.

Dean admitted that he suffers from claustrophobia - a fear of small or tight spaces - but viewers have continued to nominate him for challenges which involve parts of his body being isolated.

In one of the trials, Dean had his head isolated in a box with all kinds of creatures surrounding him as he tried to bag some stars for his hungry campmates.

The BBC Radio 1 presenter faced spiders, snakes, mealworms, and a whole host of other creatures - but it was fish guts that prompted him to shout the infamous phrase.

Dean also had to enter a tomb-like coffin while sand filled up from the bottom.

The star claimed he 'couldn't feel his legs' after fear got the better of him, as he exited the trial early.

But viewers are now calling for the presenter to be 'medically exempt' from some trials, after admitting to suffering with a fear of confined spaces.

One fan on Reddit said: "Why isn't Dean exempt from trials in closed spaces?"

Another added: "Does anyone else think it's wrong that Dean isn't exempt from trials in closed spaces?

"He has claustrophobia, and therefore putting him in closed spaces could be detrimental to his health.

"He should have been exempt from last night's and tonight's trials on medical grounds."

But others claimed that the point of the show is to face your fears.

One said: "There's no real health risk to being scared.

"The worst that happens is someone has a bit of a panic and they get out of there.

"These people wanted to go on the programme and will have declared any medical conditions."

Another agreed, saying: "Then we should exclude people with arachnophobia from any trial with spiders etc.. basically it’s killing the show."

Dean has been visibly disappointed in himself coming back to camp following his poor performances, but his campmates have kept him in good spirits.

Upon his return, fellow celebrity Tulisa said: "God loves a trier, mate."
