The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! live finale erupted into turmoil as Adam Thomas was crowned Jungle Legend, with his victory overshadowed by on-set confrontations. The disorder began when David Haye interrupted Adam's conversation with hosts Ant and Dec, and tensions escalated as Jimmy Bullard voiced concerns about Adam's behaviour in camp. Sinitta and Gemma Collins attempted to leave the stage, with Gemma supporting Adam and Sinitta backing Jimmy.
An audience member claimed that during an ad break, David Haye approached the final four on the sofa to offer a handshake, but Adam point-blank refused, saying: 'No I'm not having this.' The witness described the incidents, which left Scarlett Moffatt in tears, as resembling 'something from Jerry Springer.' The source added that the stars returned to the set 'looking very heated' after the break.
Jimmy Bullard has demanded ITV release the unbroadcast footage, while psychologist Emma Kenny criticised Ant and Dec for their handling of the situation. She told the Mirror: 'Ant and Dec forgot their roles as presenters... when they step into the conflict, however, the entire structure feels less secure.' She argued they should have acted as emotional anchors rather than contributing to the chaos.
The controversy shows no signs of abating, with viewers and experts alike questioning the presenters' conduct during the live broadcast. Ant and Dec were forced to step in multiple times as the arguments escalated, but Kenny suggested their involvement may have exacerbated the conflict.
