Radio 1 star drops huge clue he’s signed up for Celebrity Big Brother with cryptic post days before live launch show

ONE of Radio 1's most popular presenters has dropped a huge hint he's signed up for Celebrity Big Brother.

Dean McCullough, who was recently announced as a presenter on the network's Early Breakfast show, teased fans with a cryptic post on his social media.

Dean, who is a superfan of the show, shared a clip of hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best in a promo for the upcoming series to his own instagram stories - and then tellingly placed a side-eye emoji on it.

This then led a fan to screenshot the story and share it to X/ twitter.

They wrote: "Dean McCullough, radio 1 presenter posted this on his instagram story so is he going in the house?"

Dean regularly appeared on ITV2 spin-off show Late and Live during the civilian series late last year to share his excited insights into the housemates, so it would not be a surprise to see him walk through those famous doors.

Some have speculated, however, that his post was simply him suggesting he will be back as a pundit.

Super TV replied to the original poster: "I think he's just a superfan who we'll definitely see on BBLL again!"

Dean's career has certainly been on the rise at Radio 1 and he has is part of several big shake-ups happening at the station

It was announced early today that he take on Early Breakfast from July, broadcasting daily from 5am-7am in its new Salford home.

He originally hosted a weekend show before hosting afternoons following the exit of Scott Mills.

Dean said of his new gig: “I’m really excited to be taking over the reins from the amazing Arielle Free. The Early Breakfast crew are the best listeners at Radio 1. I’m really excited to get stuck in and wake up the nation every morning.”

Head of Radio 1 Aled Haydn-Jones added: “I’d like to thank Dean for his contribution to making the afternoon show such a success. I couldn’t be happier for him as he progresses to his own show on Early Breakfast and warms up the audiences for Greg from Salford from July.”

If Dean does join the ranks of Celebrity Big Brother housemates before kicking off his new job, however, he might be joined by another former colleague.

Jordan North, who recently quit Radio 1's Drivetime show to front Capital Breakfast, has been at the centre of speculation he might be entering the house.

As news broke on his exit from the show he fronted with Vick Hope, Vick appeared to reveal he was joining Celebrity Big Brother.

The presenter commented: ";Christ I’ll miss you so much Jord, what a radio legend and sweet sweet love.

"Will be voting for you every night on CBB!!"

Eagle-eyed fans were left excited by what appeared to be a humours comment from Vick.

One commented: " I really hope Jordan is in CBB 🤞."
