Former Premier League footballer Jimmy Bullard has boycotted the final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and forfeited his appearance fees due to a backstage feud, sources have confirmed.
Bullard, who was a contestant on the latest series of the ITV reality show, reportedly clashed with producers over the treatment of certain campmates and the editing of his time in the jungle.
The 45-year-old decided to skip the live final, which aired on Sunday, and has waived any payment for his participation, estimated to be in the tens of thousands of pounds.
A spokesperson for Bullard declined to comment on the specifics of the dispute but confirmed that he would not be attending the finale or accepting any fees.
ITV has not officially commented on the matter, but insiders suggest that Bullard's decision was a personal one and that the show's production team respected his wishes.
