Jimmy Bullard confronted I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! host Ant McPartlin in the studio car park after Friday night's live final, with the presenter surrounded by security. Photographs showed Bullard approaching McPartlin as he left with his wife, with McPartlin eventually laughing as a security guard stepped in, according to the Daily Mail.
The confrontation came after a chaotic final in which Bullard accused fellow campmate and eventual winner Adam Thomas of being "abusive, aggressive and intimidating" during their time in South Africa. Host Ant denied the claim, saying: "I was there and I didn't think it was intimidating."
The final, broadcast live from London, followed a pre-recorded series. Bullard's dispute with Thomas stemmed from the Rancid Run trial, which Bullard walked away from, leaving both facing elimination. Viewers were split when Thomas shouted at Bullard and later broke down in tears after being allowed to remain.
During the final, Bullard said he had chosen Thomas for the trial believing it was not an elimination. He added: "I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it. But what I don't stand on is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating." Ant replied that a "C-bomb" used by Thomas could not be broadcast. Thomas apologised, saying he had "nothing but love" for Bullard.
David Haye interrupted, prompting Ant and Dec to tell him to stay out. Gemma Collins and Sinitta walked off set as Bullard and Haye demanded the "real coverage" be shown. Ant insisted the programme had shown "a full and fair representation" of events.
