ITV says an ‘accurate and fair representation’ of I’m a Celeb controversy was shown

  • The live final of I'm a Celebrity... South Africa descended into chaos as former footballer Jimmy Bullard and boxer David Haye accused eventual winner Adam Thomas of aggressive behaviour and ITV of preferential editing.
  • Bullard claimed that ITV cut footage of Thomas's “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” rant during a camp clash, including “C-bombs,” which he alleged was done to portray Thomas as a victim.
  • ITV denied the allegations of favouritism, stating they provided an “accurate and fair representation of events” and that suggesting otherwise was “incorrect and harmful.”
  • The original confrontation occurred when Thomas yelled at Bullard for giving up on a trial, leading to both being eliminated, though Thomas was later allowed to return to the competition.
  • Following the chaotic final, Thomas posted on social media about people trying to 'dim your light,' while his wife, Caroline Daly, strongly criticised the “vile display” and “pack of vultures” on what should have been a celebratory family show.
