I'm a Celebrity... South Africa star Jimmy Bullard has accused ITV of editing out the full extent of his row with Adam Thomas. The former footballer quit a trial knowing it would send Thomas home, prompting a furious reaction that Bullard and fellow campmate Sinitta claim was toned down for broadcast.
Sinitta alleged on Instagram that Thomas used the c-word during the confrontation, writing: 'There was a big argument, I can hear c-word, c-word, shouting c-word, you c-word.' In the aired episode, she was shown supporting Bullard's decision. Bullard thanked Sinitta for her comment, adding: 'My version will be told Friday!'
The row erupted after Bullard abstained from a trial, telling hosts Ant and Dec: 'I just don't have it in me.' Thomas angrily confronted him, shouting: 'You're taking the p***!' and 'If you wanted to go, go – don't do it on my f**ing watch!' Bullard remained adamant, saying: 'I choose when I come and when I go.'
Ant and Dec allowed campmates to vote on whether Thomas could stay, and they unanimously voted in his favour. Bullard later said his decision was partly driven by a desire to be with his unwell father. The Independent has contacted ITV and Thomas for comment.
