Jimmy Bullard quits I’m A Celebrity
Last night saw Jimmy shockingly pull out of doing a trial. Doing so cost the former footballer his place in camp.
The drama unfolded during the Rancid Run trial. Split into pairs, the celebrities were covered in creepy crawlies as they attempted to get stars.
The celebs were informed at the start of the trial that the pair with the fewest stars were at risk of going home.
However, as the task got underway, Jimmy appeared to lose his nerve and refused to continue. He then said, “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.”
A furious Adam stormed over to Jimmy, shouting: “Are you taking the [bleep]? Are you taking the [bleep]?”
Their row continued after, with Jimmy admitting he wants to go home. “Go home in camp then! Don’t do it on my [bleep]ing watch!” Adam fumed.

Adam continued, raging: “Don’t do the show then, bro! Don’t do the show!” The star was then left in tears as he faced going home at the hands of Jimmy.
Ant and Dec praised by I’m A Celebrity fans
However, Ant and Dec made a major decision that saved Adam from going home.
Gathering the campmates, they explained that with Jimmy gone, they now had the power to decide whether Adam stayed in camp or not. The celebrities unanimously opted to keep Adam in camp. Apologising for how he reacted, Adam thanked his co-stars.
Viewers took Ant and Dec’s decision to give Adam a second chance as a sign that they weren’t happy with Jimmy.
The fact that the ex-footballer also didn’t receive an exit interview saw fans claim that even producers “hated” him!
“I love the fact that Ant and Dec clearly hated Jimmy’s behaviour so much that they not only broke the rules of their own trial to allow Adam to stay, but denied Jimmy the same exit interview as everyone else. Brilliant karma,” one fan tweeted.
“Jimmy went on it for the money, which is a more than fair enough reason to. If he quit, he would’ve only got a limited amount, doing it this way he gets what ITV offered,” another wrote.

Another fan speculated why Jimmy didn’t get an exit interview.
“I think if you walk, you dont get an exit interview,” they said.
“Jimmy was so awful. The way he was smirking too when Adam got so upset. A truly dreadful man who showed his true character and deserves no exit interview and no fee for the show Proud of Ant and Dec for standing up to him,” another tweeted.
“Glad the boys didn’t give Jimmy a proper interview either. What a [bleep],” a fifth said.
“Jimmy not getting a exit interview, even the producers hate him ahahahah,” another added.
