He kept it comfortable during his downtime in a pair of trainers, while the Northern Irish presenter looked busy while using his phone.
The two new signings will join the likes of Loose Women’s Coleen Rooney and Jane Moore, who are also rumored to be heading to camp.
A source told the publication: ‘As always, the jungle bosses have cleverly put together some sensational programming that guarantees compulsive viewing.
‘Rev Coles will have a variety of stories to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, to his performance on Strictly and his later life as a clergyman.
“Meanwhile, Dean isn’t known for being a shy violet and is sure to be outspoken – plus he’s one of the youngest men lined up for the show so far.”
Meanwhile, Ally McCoist, 62, is high on Ant and Dec’s radar to appear this year despite having turned down the chance to do the show twice before.
I’m A Celeb presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are desperate to get the Scottish pundit to star in this year’s lineup, according to The Mirror.
A source told the publication: “Ally has a huge fan base thanks to her years as a commentator and pundit, as well as her long stint on A Question of Sport.”
“It would be great for the jungle, as his wife and kids have been telling him forever, so everyone is very hopeful that this will be the year.”
But the show’s biggest success so far is hiring WAG Coleen.
A source recently revealed that Dean will join former Strictly sensation Reverend Coles, 63, as they head to Australia.
The full line-up for this year’s series is yet to be confirmed, but Coleen Rooney will reportedly take part after landing the biggest contract in the show’s history.
Jane Moore is set to head to Australia for the show, following in the footsteps of her Loose Women co-stars, former Jungle Queen, Stacey Solomon, Charlene White and Olivia Attwood.
The wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney is believed to have pocketed a fee that surpasses the staggering £1.5million Nigel Farage collected last year.
There are hopes Coleen will recount her epic fight with Rebekah Vardy.
It is also believed that she will get the ‘ultimate revenge’ as Rebekah was ousted earlier in the 2017 series.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to fly out in November to take part in the show of which her four children are said to be big fans.
A source said: “I’m A Celeb bosses have taken a big step in landing Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are delighted to have her on board.”
‘She has always been a big fan of the show and loves watching it with her children. ITV is delighted that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit in. The series will be one of the best yet.
“Coleen has a huge fan base and has earned huge plaudits for her elegant handling of the Wagatha Christie case.”
The couple became the center of a major storm in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Rebekah then sued Coleen for defamation over the claim, but it was Coleen who prevailed when a judge declared in 2022 that her claim was “substantially true.”
Rebekah was subsequently instructed to pay 90 per cent of Coleen, 38,’s fees, with an initial payment of £800,000, but has been contesting the claimed costs of £1.8million.
Ally McCoist, 62, is high on Ant and Dec’s radar to appear on the show this year despite turning down the opportunity to take part in the show twice before.

At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, Costs Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has told Rebekah to pay an additional £100,000 within 21 days.
