It wouldn't be I'm A Celeb without a bit of drama after viewers have pointed out an alleged 'feud' between co-host Ant McPartlin, 49, and campmate Dean McCullough.

Fans of the ITV show have already come to the conclusion that the BGT presenter isn't a huge fan of the radio host, 32, after a frosty exchange.

While Dean is proving to be a rather 'unpopular' figure in the camp, having been voted in nearly every Bushtucker Trial, there was a particularly awkward moment between the pair last night. Watch below:

Ant admitted that he wouldn't be following Dean on social media, the campmate looked a little offended, before the host insisted that he was joking.

Body language expert Inbaal Hongiman has since had her say on the incident and believes that Ant may have a 'distaste' for Dean.

"As Dean disembarks from his successful Bushtucker Trial, at first glance it seems that Ant's distaste towards him has become more pronounced," she said on behalf of Slingo.

"Both Ant and Dec applaud the DJ as he approaches, but Ant's claps are slower and carry on longer, giving the insulting effect of a 'slow clap' which expresses displeasure."

She added: "Just in case Dean didn't pick up on that, Ant performs another little 'slow clap', and then folds his arms.

"The arm folding is a protective gesture, effectively 'closing off' the presenter, showing that he doesn't want to deal with Dean at all.

"However, that animosity is momentary, and immediately after, Ant is his jovial self again with Dean, lowering his arms and even lacing them behind his back to create a more approachable body language.

"It would appear that Ant is playful in his ribbing of the Radio 1 star, and he views Dean as entertaining, not annoying."

This comes after former I'm A Celeb runner up Andrew Whyment was critical of Dean's comments towards actor Alan Halsall over the weekend.

The radio presenter was fast asleep when the Coronation Street star tried to wake him up to help Loose Women's Jane Moore with a task.

However, Dean hit out at him, and said: "Listen to me. If you're gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright?

"It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don't need to turn around to me and say 'do you not fancy it? OK?' And then turn around and walk away."

Andrew, who co-stars with Alan in Corrie, told Lorraine: "The bit that got me was when he was in the Bush Telegraph and basically said 'I was asleep and wee Tyrone from Coronation Street is standing over me'.

"I just thought that was a bit disrespectful. Al's a 42-year-old man and the way Dean was speaking to him was a bit like a child."

LADbible Group has contacted Ant McPartlin's representative for comment.
