The I'm A Celebrity All Stars live final descended into chaos last night as Gemma Collins and Sinitta stormed off the stage following a heated argument between Jimmy Bullard and winner Adam Thomas. The drama unfolded moments before Adam Thomas was crowned the winner, beating Mo Farah to the title.
Jimmy Bullard's Accusations
During the show, hosts Ant and Dec asked Jimmy Bullard about the altercation. He explained that Adam had "absolutely thrown him under the bus" and added: "But what I don't stand on is some being abusive, aggressive, and intimidating." Bullard claimed that Ant and Dec had "front row seats" to the incident and that the network did not show any of the "C-bombs," calling it a "liberty." Ant confirmed that the footage was "unbroadcastable."
Sinitta and Gemma Collins Walk Off
As David Haye also became involved from behind Adam, the situation escalated. Sinitta was the first to walk off, telling the audience: "You guys weren't there, you don't know what happened." Audience members reported that she agreed the row was "abusive and aggressive," as Jimmy had claimed. She then left the stage, followed shortly by TV personality Gemma Collins, who had been a staunch supporter of Adam throughout the series. Collins appeared to walk off in protest over how Adam was treated.
Adam Thomas Responds
When asked about the row, Adam Thomas said: "Listen, I take full responsibility for my actions. Yes, emotions were definitely running high in that moment. But, you know, I have got nothing but love for Jimmy." He acknowledged apologizing to Jimmy several times. When David Haye tried to interrupt, Adam retorted: "Will you just let the finalists speak," earning cheers from the crowd. Adam continued: "I take everything he said into account. That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never showed myself off in that light before that or after that. And I am sorry Jimmy."
David Haye later interrupted the show again, asking Adam: "Do you think you deserve to win it after calling Jimmy the C-word a couple of times?"
Adam's Instagram Statement
Following his win, Adam broke his silence on Instagram, writing: "I walked through this journey with my heart first, no matter what came my way…It was not always easy, there were moments that could have broken me, but I stayed true to myself and that is something I will always be proud of. I have realised that when people try to dim your light, it says more about them than it ever will about you. This experience has shown me my strength in ways I never imagined. Not because of any title or recognition, but because I stayed kind, I stayed grounded and I stayed real."
