Northern Irish radio presenter Dean McCullough has been impressing I'm A Celebrity audiences and making himself feel at home in the jungle. Yet, this isn't the first time that Dean, 32, has entertained ITV viewers.

Dean was part of an all-male dance troupe called The Glambassadors, and their routine featured the trio dressed in high heels and see-through outfits, kicking, pirouetting, and dancing all around the stage.
Their routine was certainly something to behold, and judge David Walliams quipped that the performance was "camper than Christmas". The rest of the panel was clearly blown away by The Glambassadors and unanimously put them through to the next round.
The Glambassadors made it all the way to the live semi-finals, and for this very special performance, they took to the stage and danced to a number of big show tunes, including Candyman by Christina Aguilera.

It was a minor miracle that the dance troupe managed to get as far as they did back in 2013, given the fact that just two weeks before their audition, two of The Glambassadors' dancers left the group. They had accepted jobs in LA, leaving the rest of the group on the verge of splitting up.

Dean said: "We formed because we all knew each other through working in dance, but a week before the auditions, we lost two guys who got jobs in LA. So we found two other friends, and we had one rehearsal before we got to the stage."
Dean ended up becoming The Glambassadors' leader, and he had to choreograph the entire routine from scratch with the new members, which was no easy feat.

We were winging it, but I think because of the pressure we were under, it all came together. Now I have made friends for life; we have all been on this journey together. None of us have ever done anything like this before."
Dean has been incredibly sincere and open since appearing on I'm A Celebrity. For instance, earlier this year, Dean revealed that he faced homelessness both as a child with his family and as a young adult.
He shared: "We weren't living on the street, we were living on my aunt's house on a sofa. I was moving between houses on a regular basis."
© Dave BenettDean went on to speak about the tough times he faced with after his parents' separation, revealing that he and his family had no fixed address for a year. Dean added that he spent years couch surfing when he first came to London in order to pursue his dream of starring on the West End.
Dean revealed: "I have problems with my possessions and feeling like I need to take care of absolutely everything around me. That comes down to moving from house to house and not ever feeling like anything was ever truly mine."
