I’m A Celebrity star Jimmy Bullard has made a major decision about tomorrow night’s live final (Friday, April 24).

It was previously reported that Jimmy was refusing to attend the final following his bust-up with Adam Thomas – scenes that were shown earlier this week.

I’m A Celebrity star Jimmy Bullard ‘refusing’ to attend live final

Earlier this week, scenes aired on ITV showed Adam and Jimmy having a major bust-up during a trial.

Playing for their place in camp, Jimmy and Adam were paired up together. However, Jimmy appeared to lose his nerve during the trial and said: “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”.

Adam was furious, begging Jimmy to give the trial a go before launching into a foul-mouthed rant at the ex-footy star.

Over the last few weeks, it’s been reported that Jimmy was refusing to go to the live final, as he and Adam couldn’t stomach being on stage together. It’s also been claimed that Adam and Jimmy haven’t spoken since the show, which was recorded back in September 2025.

ITV have also reportedly threatened to dock the stars pay by 20% if he doesn’t show up tomorrow.

Now, it appears as though Jimmy has finally made a decision on whether or not to attend the live final.

Jimmy Bullard makes decision over I’m A Celeb final

Taking to his Instagram last night (Wednesday, April 22), Jimmy seemingly revealed that he will be attending the final tomorrow night.

The football star shared a video of an interview Sinitta did recently for his 592k followers to see.

In the video, Sinitta can be seen talking about Adam and Jimmy’s row. “This argument, I can hear C-word, C-word, shouting, C-word, ‘You C-word’, like what on earth is going on?” she said.

“And also I’m thinking, can we just get back to the race cos I’m winning. I’m like, literally frozen in position, ready to carry on from where we’ve left off. But no, it’s this massive fight, and of course, it was one of these things that if whoever lost this game, then the pair, the team, were off the show.

“So Adam and Jimmy are going, and I suddenly think, ‘Wait a minute, this isn’t fair’. You know, just because he’s called I’m A Celebrity doesn’t mean we should cuss him out and be really like shouting and screaming at him. That’s the game. If you can’t do it, then you call that and you’re out. Like, what are they going to do to me when I hit my wall?”

Sinitta then went on to say that she felt bad for Jimmy, as he’d been left feeling “depressed” following Gemma Collins’ exit. She also revealed that Jimmy told her that his father was really ill and that he was “feeling guilty” that he wasn’t home with him.

“So his head was gone.”

Jimmy thanked Sinitta for defending him with his caption. “Wow thanks @thesinittaofficial shame that wasn’t shown!” he said.

“My version will be told Friday! Can’t wait to see you all….well some of yous!!”

However, fans weren’t too supportive in the comments. “The issue is not jimmy going home.. the issue is dragging Adam down with him,” one fan commented.

“I can completely see why Adam was annoyed and had a right to be annoyed,” another said.

However, some praised Jimmy for how he reacted to Adam’s foul-mouthed tirade. “His behaviour was out of hand, did well to stay calm when someone’s shouting like that in your face…played son,” one fan said.

“C-list celebrity giving stick to an ex Premier League footballer….who does he think he is…know your levels,” another said.
