I’M A CELEB fans were left in hysterics after Dean McCullough embarrassingly got a football question wrong during a bushtucker trial.
The latest episode of the hit ITV show featured McCullough’s facing off the Sinister Sarcophagus trial to win luxury meals for himself and his campmates.
In order to earn the meals, the Radio One DJ had to answer questions about Egypt while locked in a Sarcophagus – all while it slowly filled up with insects.
But he couldn’t hack the challenge and shouting, “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” to end it.
Presenters Ant & Dec proceeded to ask the 32-year-old some of the questions he would have faced had he not quit.
And one of the questions was an absolute doozy.
They asked him: “Name the footballer who is originally from Egypt and plays for Liverpool?”
And McCullough showed he’s not a football fan by answering “Jose Mourinho” instead of Mohamed Salah.
Footie fans watching the show had a field day and took to social media to have a chuckle at his response.
One wrote on X: “Ah yes the famous Egyptian Liverpool player Jose Mourinho.”
