McCullough was the second campmate to be eliminated from the 2024 series on ITV.
Earlier in this series, McCullough was tasked with collecting water each day alongside his fellow Radio 1 star Melvin Odoom – but routinely vanished every time the task needed completing.
Odoom complained to his campmates about the situation, saying that the water duties had been a “lone man situation” for him as McCullough was “very good at disappearing” whenever there’s work to be done.
Rev Richard has fast become one of this year’s favourite campmates since becoming a late entrant with Maura Higgins.
When McCullough was eventually located and tasked with carrying one pot of water back to camp, he let his fellow stars know just how much he despised the chore.
“I hate doing the water guys. I’ve said it. I’m just gonna have to hold my hands up,” he complained. “It’s an awful job and I hate it and I don’t want to do it anymore... Guys I can’t. It’s not for me.”

This appeared to frustrate McFly singer Danny Jones, who was camp leader at the time. He sternly replied: “Just get on with it, mate.”
After Odoom encouraged McCullough to continue fetching water and the camp advised him to adopt a positive attitude, he replied: “Look, no beef, no drama, I just hate my job.”
Keeping the conversation friendly, Odoom joked: “Listen, your new name is Houdini because you like to disappear.”
Another person who grew annoyed with McCullough during his time on the show was host Ant McPartlin, who admitted that he acted “unprofessionally” when he called the contestant out for his poor effort in one of the Bushtucker Trials.
McCullough himself addressed this interaction upon leaving the jungle, saying that he felt like McPartlin was genuinely cross with him.
