Jimmy Bullard has explained the reason behind him quitting this year’s I’m A Celeb... South Africa, sparking an explosive row during the live final.
Bullard had been furiously confronted by campmate Adam Thomas after leaving during a challenge, which would have meant teammate Thomas leaving with him.
“There’s a lot of heavy reasons I don’t want to go into now - everyone’s got their own issues,” Bullard explained, revealing he had spoken to producers and fellow campmates before announcing the decision.
“If I go home and call Adam back with me, I get full pay [and] that money’s big for my family.”
Bullard then accused Thomas of “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” behaviour which was not aired on the show - claims presenters Ant and Dec and some of the other campmates rejected, as the final descended into a shouting match.
