An I'm A Celebrity... South Africa star has claimed that producers reminded them of key contract clauses following the show's dramatic finale, describing the warning as feeling like a 'rap over the knuckles'. The source told The Sun that the star felt they were being reminded of what is included in their contracts, particularly regarding bringing the show or ITV into disrepute.
The series was marked by several heated disputes, including a feud between Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas that divided the camp. During the live final in London, the row escalated to the point where Sinitta and Gemma Collins stormed off, and Ant clashed with David Haye and Jimmy. The tension began when David Haye accused Adam of using his psoriatic arthritis to avoid trials, with Haye stating he didn't 'give a s**t' about Adam's condition.
Adam was also involved in a row with Jimmy Bullard after Jimmy quit a trial mid-way, which could have jeopardised Adam's participation. Adam swore at Jimmy but later apologised, though Jimmy insisted Adam was 'aggressive' and 'intimidating', and criticised ITV for not showing the full clip. ITV defended their edit as 'fair and accurate'.
An insider shared key wording from the contracts with The Sun, including a clause that prohibits participants from divulging any information about the agreement, the programme, its production, or other participants without prior consent from ITV's press and publicity team. The reminder came amid reports that David Haye is planning to sue ITV for up to £10 million, claiming the edit caused 'irreparable damage to his brand'.
