A former campmate believes Jack Osbourne shouldn't be participating in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! just months after his father's death.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath singer, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22. And since the ITV jungle survival programme began on November 16, Jack has become emotional and had disagreements with his fellow contestant, Heart Radio presenter Kelly Brook, regarding her method of chopping potatoes.
Dean McCullough - who appeared on I'm A Celeb last year - has expressed worries about Jack's wellbeing. The 33-year-old told BANG Showbiz exclusively 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."
However, despite his worries, Dean has confidence that the programme's producers will provide Jack, 40, with proper care. The BBC Radio 1 host continued: "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."
According to a camp source speaking to The Sun, the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! production team is "monitoring Jack's situation intensely".
They continued: "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 okay 24/7 - but never more so than in situations like this."
During Monday night's show, Jack was seen breaking down as he opened up about his father Ozzy's death after fellow campmate, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, asked him about the rock star's passing, which Jack admitted "still feels fresh".
In the same episode, a disagreement over potato cutting techniques led to a heated exchange between Jack and Kelly, resulting in an emotional apology from her and Jack stepping back from his role as camp chef.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! will be back on our screens on Friday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
