Jimmy Bullard has confirmed he will be appearing on Friday's live final of I'm A Celebrity South Africa, and sources indicate he will be plotting his 'sweet revenge' following his highly publicised fallout with Adam Thomas. The former footballer is not shying away from the confrontation that stunned fans and divided opinions.
The Fallout in the Jungle
Fans were left stunned after Jimmy's decision to quit the ITV show led to an outburst by the soap star. As the former footballer uttered the famous words to leave camp, he almost took an unimpressed Adam home with him. This led to the Waterloo Road star shouting a barrage of fury at Jimmy. While some viewers supported Adam online, others, including Harry Redknapp, were less impressed.
Jimmy's Claims of Edited Abuse
Now, Jimmy wants to have his say after claiming edits on the show missed a lot of the abuse, leaving him furious with bosses. A source close to the star told The Sun: 'Jimmy is a larger than life character with a wicked sense of humour and will be revelling in the opportunity to make everyone sweat. He’s a massive joker so they don’t know what he’s going to say or do in the live final. Jimmy knows the truth about what happened. He’s ready to tell his story. It’s the ultimate sweet revenge.'
Rumours and Reactions
In a shocking twist, a rumour started that Adam even attempted to kick his former campmate due to frustration. However, these claims have been shot down by the broadcaster. Viewers watched as a foaming Adam branded the former footballer a 'prick' and fumed: 'What is up with you? Tell me why? All you had to do was run through some f***ing mud and you said get me out of here.' Father-of-two Adam, 37, later appeared distressed as he attempted to talk to the camera following the trial. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly had been forced to step in and break the row.
The clash has since been described as the programme's biggest ever, watched by millions, including former contestants. Carol Vorderman branded Jimmy 'disgraceful' and said the scenes made her 'angry, furious, crying'. But Sinitta recently offered more insight, revealing that ITV edited out one of the biggest insults Adam hurled at Jimmy. Sinitta said on social media: 'It was a big argument, I can hear c-word c-word shouting c-word you c-word.' ITV has stated that what was aired was an 'accurate and fair representation of events'. Jimmy thanked Sinitta for her comments and admitted he can't wait to share his side.
