I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here fans were divided after Adam Thomas, who has been in Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, became locked in a feud with Jimmy Bullard, a former Premiership footballer
Jimmy Bullard is said to still be “seething” at Adam Thomas following their row on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
The former professional footballer, 47, is reportedly “devastated” after he and Adam became locked in a bitter feud on the ITV show. Viewers were divided when they rowed after Jimmy decided to quit the Rancid Run trial, which saw campmates retrieve a series of cogs from a giant, ant-infested abacus using only their mouths.
Adam, who is in Waterloo Road, was seen yelling at Jimmy, shouting: “Are you f***ing taking the p***?… I am in there getting covered in f***ing ants.” Father-of-two Adam, 37, later appeared distressed as he attempted to talk to the camera following the trial.
But now an insider has claimed it is Jimmy who still remains upset by the spat even now, several months after the spin-off was pre-recorded in South Africa. The source said: “Jimmy is devastated by it all, it was supposed to be a celebration of I’m A Celeb, but Adam appeared to have let his temper get the better of him.” They said Jimmy, who played football for Wigan Athletic and Fulham among other sides, is “seething” following the argument.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were forced to step in and break Jimmy and Adam’s row. However, the clash — described as the programme’s biggest ever — was watched by millions, including former contestants. One of whom, Carol Vorderman, branded Jimmy “disgraceful” and said the scenes made her “angry, furious, crying”. The source, though, supported Jimmy, telling the Daily Mail: “Adam just completely lost it and went for Jimmy.”
Jimmy and former Emmerdale star Adam — brother of former Coronation Street actor Ryan — were joined by the likes of ex-Corrie star Beverley Callard, former The Only Way Is Essex’s Gemma Collins, Olympian Mo Farah and footballing legend Harry Redknapp for the second series of the I’m A Celeb spin-off — which features stars who have competed in previous series.
Although the rest of the series was pre-recorded, the finale is live — but it is thought Jimmy is unhappy about returning for this. The dad of two, from east London, was notably absent from the launch earlier this month too.
It is believed Adam and Jimmy have not spoken since the row. Those familiar with both men say that it is unlikely they ever be on good terms again. One insider said: “It’s got really, really bad. They know one another through mutual friends, but this has put paid to any kind of friendship now.”
