Following a dramatic episode of I'm A Celebrity All Stars, the tension continues as it has been announced that additional celebrities will be eliminated in Wednesday's installment. The camp experienced upheaval on Tuesday when Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard engaged in a verbal altercation after the former footballer forfeited the Bushtucker Trial in an attempt to leave the show.
New Challenge Decides Fate
It has now been disclosed that the remaining stars will compete in a fresh challenge, with the slowest participant being sent home. After Jimmy's surprising decision to exit, a subsequent trial will see another celebrity utter the iconic phrase 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', leaving their future in the savannah uncertain.
The celebrities are informed that they will all take part in a challenge called Keys to Success. They will attempt it one by one, and it will determine their fate in the competition. Scarlett Moffatt remarks that since this is a challenge, it is not for meal stars and guesses it will determine who leaves camp next.
Upon arriving for the challenge, the celebrities read a scroll and receive a shock. The campmate who takes the longest to complete the challenge will be sent home. Who will face a shock exit so close to Friday's live final?
Pair Trial Adds Pressure
Later in the show, the remaining celebrities are told they will face the next trial in pairs, and only the first two pairs to complete it are safe from elimination, meaning even more celebrities will leave. The trial is called Dragged Through Hell. Each pair will be shackled together, back to back by the waist and ankles. While a wall separates them from their partner, they are connected by a chain. The pair must work together to solve maths questions, crack codes, and unlock lockers to find a key that releases them from their shackles, with many surprises along the way.
In a shocking twist, one celebrity delivers the fateful 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', but which one will it be?
Jimmy Bullard's Quit Sparks Feud
Viewers were aghast on Tuesday as Jimmy sensationally decided to quit I'm A Celebrity by abandoning the trial Rancid Run. He and Adam had been paired for the challenge, meaning if one gave up, both would be sent home. The feud saw Adam shout after Jimmy's decision: 'If you f*****g wanted to go, don't take me with you. What is up with you? All you have to do is run through some mud and you said "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here."' Jimmy replied: 'It ain't about that. I wanted to go home.' Adam said: 'Well, go home then in camp. Don't do it on my f*****g watch. A quitter bro, I don't quit.'
The actor later broke down in tears, admitting he regretted losing his temper and had wanted to make his children proud. Watching the scenes unfold, viewers shared their thoughts on X, believing Jimmy's actions were the final straw for Adam. The actor had already faced scrutiny from David Haye in camp for days, sparking claims he was being bullied by the boxer.
Adam and Jimmy are reportedly still not on speaking terms, which is said to throw the live final into chaos, as Jimmy faces losing 20 per cent of his show fee if he refuses to appear.
Other Departures
Jimmy was not the only star to quit the spin-off. Beverley tearfully told her campmates earlier in the episode she would be leaving on medical grounds after a 'funny turn'. Four months after filming, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Bosses attempted to keep Beverly's unexpected departure under wraps, but it was leaked on a fan site just hours before it was due to air. Craig Charles has also appeared to let slip that he makes it to the final four, three days before the finale is due to take place.
I'm A Celebrity... South Africa airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
