After all 12 campmates returned from a successful yet "horrific" first eating trial on I'm a Celebrity 2024 tonight (November 23), it didn't take long for the atmosphere to change.

Once the celebrities had tucked into a feast, thanks to Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles winning 12 portions of food in ‘Terrifying Teddy Bears’ Picnic’, the first argument of the series took place between Dean McCullough and Corrie's Alan Halsall.

Dean had to be woken up by Alan from his sleep as the campmates needed wood for the fire, which Jane Moore needed help carrying - due to current roles in the camp, Dean was the only person who was allowed to do it.

But a hesitant Dean accused Alan of saying he "didn't fancy it" when instead, he just "needed a minute" to sort his contact lenses.

In response to this, I'm a Celebrity fans have slammed Dean for being "aggressive" towards Alan.

One said on X: "nah but there was no need for Dean to go off at Alan like that #ImACeleb"

Another wrote: "Dean and this aggression??? Don’t speak to Alan like that #imaceleb"

Someone posted: "Omg is dean serious?! Alan couldn’t of been nicer when trying to wake him up! #imaceleb"

This person agreed: "what was actually wrong with what alan said to dean?? he was being so gentle with him like huh ?? #imaceleb"
