Filming for the highly anticipated I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! All Stars series descended into chaos following a massive on-set row between two campmates, threatening to derail the upcoming live final.
Jungle Showdown Erupts During Challenge
The explosive incident occurred during a tense Bushtucker Trial in South Africa, where soap star Adam Thomas, 37, reportedly lost his temper with former footballer Jimmy Bullard, 47. According to television insiders, the confrontation turned particularly heated, with Thomas allegedly screaming obscenities at his fellow contestant.
An eyewitness source revealed that Thomas 'totally lost it' during the challenging trial, shouting at Bullard and calling him offensive names. 'It was completely unexpected and deeply shocked the other campmates, including Jimmy, who didn't see it coming,' the insider told The Sun.
Competitive Spirit Boils Over
The confrontation appears to have stemmed from Thomas's intensely competitive nature. The Emmerdale actor, who previously came third in the 2016 series, was said to be taking his return to the jungle 'very seriously'.
Sources close to the production indicated that Thomas became frustrated during the particularly difficult Bushtucker Trial, which was reportedly so challenging that one celebrity shouted the show's famous 'Get me out of here!' catchphrase. Thomas has built a reputation for embracing the horrifying challenges, earning him the affectionate nickname 'Mr Bushtucker Trial' during his previous appearance.
Production Team Scrambles to Mend Fences
With tensions remaining high after the November 2025 filming wrapped, producers are now working urgently to repair the relationship between the two stars ahead of the live final scheduled for early 2026.
'Adam and Jimmy weren't able to mend their friendship in South Africa after the massive row broke out,' one source confirmed. The situation has become so strained that there are concerns the pair 'can't stomach being on stage together in front of an audience' for the live finale.
The All Stars series, which finished filming earlier this month, features a rumoured cast including reality television personality Gemma Collins, Gogglebox favourite Scarlett Moffatt, and Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah. While Bullard was the first contestant voted off during his 2014 appearance, Thomas's competitive drive saw him reach the final three in his original series.
Metro has contacted ITV and representatives for both Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard for comment regarding the incident.
