I’m A Celebrity final addresses drama after Adam and Jimmy’s blowout ‘couldn’t be aired’

Adam Thomas made reference to the ‘drama’ on the I’m A Celebrity final, hours after claiming that lots of his argument with Jimmy Bullard ‘couldn’t be aired’.

This season of the South African spin-off has been nothing short of dramatic, with the biggest blowout coming between Adam and Jimmy.

In the South African jungle, the pair had a huge row after Jimmy uttered the words, ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’, putting both of their positions on the show at risk.

During the live final, Adam referred to some of what went down after co-host Declan Donnelly said: ‘It certainly hasn’t been short of drama this year.’

Adam remarked: ‘I know there was a lot of drama that went on in a lot of camp but honestly we had the best time.’

Co-host Ant McPartlin voiced what we were all thinking: ‘It’s not going to kick off, what a shame.’

Jimmy, who left the show of his own accord, sat watching on in the audience.

The aired verbal spat between Adam and Jimmy contained many an expletive, but it’s been claimed that there was even worse language that in the end got cut.

An insider told the Daily Mail: ‘”Adam just completely lost it and went for Jimmy. He called him a c*** and Jimmy believes that he tried to kick him, too.”‘

On This Morning, fellow campmate Craig Charles claimed Adam was ‘dropping f-bombs and c-bombs’ and called it ‘traumatic’.

Adam cleared up some of the rumours himself: ‘I’ve seen some comments going around about things that some of my fellow campmates said during the row between me and Jimmy, and I just want to make one thing clear, I completely stand by them.

‘Not everything was shown, and honestly, a lot of it probably couldn’t be aired anyway, I’ll hold my hands up to that. So I understand where they were coming from, and I respect their honesty.’

ITV pushed back in a comment to Metro on claims that Adam tried to kick Jimmy, calling it ‘categorically untrue’. Talking about the network cutting part of the argument for broadcast, they said: ‘We show an accurate and fair representation of events.’

This isn’t the only feud that Adam is rumoured to be part of.

After clashing with David Haye about participating in trials, viewers think they’ve spotted Adam being criticised by fellow finalist Harry Redknapp.

During last night’s episode the campmates had to catch eggs for breakfast from a fake hen.

Adam was chuffed after he secured a pair at the same time and called out: ‘I caught two eggs at one time, some people might call me the eggspert.’

In the Telegraph, the former football coach seemed to take a swipe at Adam’s noise levels. He said: ‘Adam could have caught one in his mouth. He could have opened his gob and caught one, couldn’t he? Adam.’

On X, @putasinghonit made the observation: ‘Harry is not happy at Adam is he, crikey.’

While Sandra MaryHusk asked, ‘Is Harry saying that Adam got a big mouth?’ and @JAli89_91 commented, ‘Harry really doesn’t like Adam’.

I’m A Celebrity South Africa, the results, airs tonight at 10pm.
