One ITV campmate has claimed that not all of the former footballer and actor’s arguement was shown
I’m A Celebrity South Africa star Jimmy Bullard has confirmed whether he will be at the final of the ITV reality show amid fresh claims from one of his campmates about his ‘feud’ with Adam Thomas.
Former footballer Jimmy left fans of the series divided on Tuesday night (April 21) as the campmates fought for their place in camp. Moments after Coronation Street icon Beverley Callard had to leave on medical grounds, the rest of the campmates were placed into pairs.
This led to an explosive row between former Emmerdale actor Adam, who has already issued a statement about boxer David Haye’s treatment of him, and Jimmy, with the latter deciding to quit the show and put Adam’s place in the competition at risk.

The former Fulham player was seen watching the Bushtucker trail before he told his team: “Boys, I don’t think I’ve got it in me.” Jimmy then apologised to Adam and said ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’, which caused the trial to end for everyone and meant that contestants must forfeit the stars they had won.
Adam then stormed over to Jimmy during a heated exchange and said: “Taking the f****** piss, are you taking the f****** piss?” He added: “I’m in there getting covered in f****** ants!” Jimmy responded by telling him to “calm down” and described his outburst as “pathetic”.
Due to Jimmy not attempting the challenge, Ant and Dec asked the campmates if they wanted to keep Adam in, who unanimously voted for the actor to remain on the show. When hearing that his campmates had voted to keep him in, Adam burst into tears, and said: “I appreciate that, guys. Thank you and I’m so sorry for the way that I acted as well, it was just emotions are really running high.”
Reports have since emerged that Jimmy would not be attending the final due to the dramatic scenes. Filmed last year, the live final is set to air on Friday night (April 22). Broadcast from London, the former campmates are set to be in attendance to see who follows in Myleene Klass’ footsteps and is crowned the latest I’m A Celebrity ‘Legend’.
With the fallout of the incident making headlines, singer Sinitta took to Instagram on Wednesday (April 22). According to the singer, who is also taking part in the series, the C-word was shouted during the argument.
Sinitta said: “There was a big argument, I can hear c-word, c-word, shouting c-word, you c-word. What on earth is going on? And I’m also thinking – can we get on with the race because I’m winning?
“I’m literally frozen in position like ready to carry on from where we’ve left off, but no. And it’s this massive fight and, of course, it was one of these things that if whoever lost the game, the team were off the show so Adam and Jimmy are going and I suddenly think, wait a minute this isn’t fair.”
Taking to the comments section of Sinitta’s post, former Soccer AM host Jimmy not only claimed that the full argument was not shown, but that he will be attending the final after all.
“Wow thanks @thesinittaofficial shame that wasn’t shown! My version will be told Friday! Can’t wait to see you all….well some of yous,” he wrote.
