  • Adam Thomas was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity: South Africa, seven months after the series was filmed.
  • His victory was overshadowed by a dramatic live row during the final, where Jimmy Bullard accused Thomas of being ”abusive, aggressive and intimidating“ during their headline-making row on the show.
  • Bullard claimed ITV edited the confrontation, alleging they did not air Thomas's “c-bombs”, a point presenters Ant and Dec disputed.
  • David Haye also joined the accusations, alleging ITV edited his time in camp to make Thomas appear a victim, leading to a shouting match involving other cast members like Sinitta and Gemma Collins.
