I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Dean McCullough has opened up about being homeless during an emotional interview.The BBC Radio 1 presenter revealed that he didn't realise how bad things were when he was younger but looking back, sees that he was experiencing homelessness.

Dean, 32, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, 18 December, to speak about hidden homelessness and opened up about his challenging childhood.Talking to Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway via video link, Dean recalled having no fixed address as a child.

He openly shared: "People think that they know what a homeless person looks like.They think it's someone who is on the street with a bottle of liquor in a brown bag asking for money, but from my own personal experience, we were homeless whenever I was younger and my mum was forced out of the home and I went with her. "We shared a bedroom, we were on the sofa, and at the time I was going to school, I was getting dressed up every day, I was fed well and we were surprisingly quite happy.

We made the most of that situation and at the time I wouldn't have called that homelessness." Dean went on to explain that it wasn't until "later on in life" that he realised what he had experienced.
