I’m A Celebrity final in off-camera drama as Ant McPartlin has run-in with Jimmy Bullard
It was a chaotic final!I’m A Celebrity South Africa’s live final proved to be a chaotic affair, with numerous bust-ups, including one between Jimmy Bullard and Ant McPartlin!
From celebs refusing to appear on Unpacked, to a heated exchange outside the studios, here’s everything that happened once the cameras stopped rolling last night (Friday, April 24).
I’m A Celebrity’s controversial live final
Last night’s live final descended into chaos when Jimmy Bullard and David Haye clashed with Adam Thomas.
Jimmy explained why he’d quit the show when he did, before slamming the Waterloo Road star for being “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” during his foul-mouthed rant.
Adam had repeatedly sworn at Jimmy after the footballer said “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” during a trial. By quitting the trial, Jimmy had forfeited his place on the show, taking Adam with him. However, the actor was given a second chance by his campmates, who agreed for him to stay in.
However, Ant disputed Jimmy’s allegation that Adam had been “intimidating”.
“I was there,” he protested, as an irate Jimmy attempted to get the other campmates to agree with him.
Following the show, Jimmy, David, and Adam vanished, meaning they weren’t there to appear on the hit spin-off show, Unpacked.
