Dean McCullough says Jack Osbourne 'shouldn't be' on I'm A Celeb - months after Ozzy Osbourne's death
BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough is worried for TV personality Jack Osbourne on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! amid grieving for dad Ozzy Osbourne.
Dean McCullough thinks Jack Osbourne should not be doing I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! months after dad Ozzy Osbourne's death.
The Black Sabbath frontman died aged 76 on July 22, and since the ITV jungle survival show's launch on November 16, Jack, 40, has broken down in tears and clashed with fellow campmate, Heart Radio host Kelly Brook, 45, over how she cuts potatoes.
And Dean - who did I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2024 - is concerned for Jack's well-being.
Dean, 33, exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the ZYN Rolling Stone UK Awards 2025: "I think Jack's going to struggle. Just looking at him, you can tell in his eyes that he’s [dejected] - I don't think he should be in there, if I'm being really honest. It's too soon.
"His dad only died in July, and it's such a volatile, revealing, nerve-wracking place. There is nothing comfortable about the jungle.
"And I just feel like he needs a bit of support."
Despite his concerns, Dean knows the show's bosses will support Jack.
The BBC Radio 1 presenter added: "I know the team really well. We had a rigorous test before we went in there. I think he's being well looked after, but if I were in there with him, I would be keeping an eye on him."
A camp insider told The Sun that the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! team is "monitoring Jack's situation intensely".
They added: "Jack has looked dejected at times and clearly has a lot on his mind.
"ITV has strong duty of care procedures in place and producers do their utmost to ensure campmates are OK 24/7 - but never more so than in situations like this."
During Monday night's (17.11.25) show, Jack cried when he recounted Ozzy's death in camp after fellow campmate, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, 49, asked him about the rock star's passing, which Jack admitted "still feels fresh".
In the same episode, Jack and Kelly rowed over how she cuts potatoes, causing her to become emotional and apologise to him, after which he stepped back from duties as camp chef.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Friday (21.11.25) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
