The pair, who viewers watched be selected to face ‘Absolute Carnage’ on Saturday night, took on the latest Bushtucker Trial in the ITV reality series As the pair headed down to the trial area, the NI man wasted no time in joking about his previous trial appearances, having been selected to face every challenge except one in the series so far. He turned to hosts Ant and Dec and remarked: “We need to stop meeting like this.” Dean McCullough has faced his fish gut fear in the latest Bushtucker Trial Watch: Coleen and Dean face tonight's Bushtucker trial - Absolute Carnage on I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! Absolute Carnage – which Coleen speculated correctly in true Wagatha Christie style would involve the celebrities being locked in a car – marked the first trial for the wife of former England captain Wayne Rooney. Her husband may have had a part in selecting her for the trial after he took to social media on Saturday night and advocated for his wife to be selected to “entertain their boys.” Luckily, she shared his enthusiasm as she arrived to take on the challenge. “I’m excited for my boys back home to see me do something. Hopefully I’m gonna do well, I’m gonna try my best,” she said. Ant and Dec then explained what ‘Absolute Carnage’ would entail – one of them would be locked inside the back of the ute with all of the stars. The stars were locked into place with different fastenings and they required different tools to undo each one of them. The other celebrity’s job was to search for the different tools around the garage and pass them over to the back of the ute once found. Radio 1 star Dean decided to take the role of searching for the tools, which meant Coleen was positioned in the back of the ute. But as the klaxon sounded, Coleen was joined by cockroaches, crickets, giant mealworms and rats, whilst Dean was left to search high and low in the surrounding garage area, coming face to face again with his arch nemesis - fish guts. Working as a team with 12 minutes to unlock all the stars, Coleen and Dean successfully won 9 stars for camp.

Dara O’Shea’s performance on Sunday for Ipswich Town against Manchester United will give his international boss plenty of food for thought. There is a long way to go between now and the next international window, when Ireland face Bulgaria in late March in their Nations League promotion/relegation play-off double-header. So that’s plenty of time for Heimir Hallgrímsson to mull over his six games in charge so far, and what went right and what went wrong. READ MORE: Baffled Roy Keane blasts Manchester United reaction to going ahead against Ipswich READ MORE: Aaron Connolly on the sensible reason behind muted celebration of his first Sunderland goal One thing that emerged from the games against England, Finland and Greece was that Hallgrímsson felt that O’Shea was the best option to replace the crocked Seamus Coleman. Coleman started on the right of a three-man defence in the opener against England, with O’Shea on the left of that trio, in a team selection that was heavily influenced by John O’Shea. Over the next five games, with Coleman out and Matt Doherty largely sidelined, O’Shea started at right-back in four of them. And when Doherty returned to the starting-11 for the home win against Finland, he was replaced at right-back with 15 minutes to go by O’Shea. Hallgrímsson is a modern coach, driven by statistical breakdowns and analysis, with video platforms such as Wyscout offering a wide window to the players at his disposal. So it won’t have escaped his attention on Sunday that O’Shea’s numbers were off the charts against United. The stats showed that he made more recoveries than anyone else on the pitch (nine), more clearances (six) and more tackles (three), while he won nine out of the nine duels in which he competed. And all that without committing a single foul. Ipswich forked out around €14m to sign O’Shea and on Sunday he looked a bargain buy as he helped keep United at bay. He is very comfortable with the ball at his feet and has a strong aerial presence, considering he wouldn’t be the biggest centre-half around. When it comes to pace, he is one of the fastest centre-halves in the Premier League. Fans were raving about his performance against United on social media, not that posts on X are going to sway Hallgrímsson. O’Shea looks set to give him a major headache heading into the new year - and in the longer term. Seamus Coleman might reclaim the right-back spot in time for the Bulgaria games next March, fitness permitting, but time is running out for the 36-year-old Everton man. And Doherty wasn’t even selected in the original 23-man squad for the last international window. Is Festy Ebosele disciplined enough to operate as an orthodox right-back? Hallgrímsson is clearly taken by the on-loan Watford man’s attacking attributes. Or is there a midfielder that can be shoehorned into right-back, such as Alan Browne? Maybe former St Patrick's Athletic full-back Sam Curtis (18), who is getting plenty of game-time this season on-loan at Peterborough from Sheffield United, is the long-term answer. In an ideal world, we wouldn’t be heading to Plovdiv next year with our most in-form centre-half playing as a right-back. But as Hallgrímsson is quickly discovering, when it comes to the Ireland gig there is no such thing as an ideal world.
