Jimmy Bullard and David Haye have claimed they were 'kicked out' of the I'm A Celebrity All Stars final for 'telling the truth' amid heated rows with co-star Adam Thomas. The dramatic final, which aired on ITV, descended into chaos as the trio reunited for the first time since the show ended.
The program was filmed in September, and shocking scenes that only aired this week showed Adam and Jimmy clashing after the former footballer appeared to throw his part in a trial. Tempers flared, leading to a heated exchange during the live final. Bullard insisted he wanted to explain his version of events.
Now, a new video obtained by The Sun shows David Haye stating: 'We've been kicked out the show. What's that about? Genuinely.' When asked why, he added: 'For trying to tell the truth,' as Jimmy waited for a taxi. Both men alleged they were removed from the show for being honest.
A show source told The Mirror: 'Some campmates were uncomfortable being on stage with David and Jimmy, so we sent them home during Unpacked.'
During the final, Jimmy told hosts Ant and Dec: 'Listen, Adam and all of you can be upset with me and I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it and I'll wear that. But what I don't stand on, is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating.' He then asked Ant and Dec to share their opinions, saying: 'You were there and you didn't show any of that footage. You didn't show any of the C-bombs, it's a liberty.'
Ant responded: 'The reason we didn't air the C-bomb is because that is unbroadcastable. I was there and I didn't think it was intimidating.' David Haye then backed Jimmy, while Adam told the audience: 'Let the finalists speak.'
Adam later apologised: 'I take full responsibility for my actions and yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment. I have nothing but love for Jimmy. I have apologised to Jimmy on numerous occasions and I do take everything that he is saying into account and the only thing I can do is apologise.'
