Jimmy Bullard lifts lid on furious row that led to I’m a Celebrity exit

  • Jimmy Bullard quit I'm a Celebrity: South Africa during a crucial trial, which automatically sent his partner, Adam Thomas, home, sparking a furious confrontation between the two.
  • Bullard explained his decision by stating he “didn't have it in him” for the trials, citing a desire to be with his unwell father and feeling he had lost his “bounces” after other campmates departed.
  • Adam Thomas angrily confronted Bullard, accusing him of “taking the p***” and insisting that if Bullard wished to leave, he should have done so without forcing Thomas's exit.
  • Despite encouragement from hosts Ant and Dec to continue for Thomas's benefit, Bullard remained resolute in his decision to leave, with reports suggesting Thomas's full reaction was more intense than what was broadcast.
