Ant McPartlin, host of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, was pictured surrounded by security personnel after a dramatic confrontation with Jimmy Bullard during the live final on Thursday night. The second all-star edition of the show concluded with explosive scenes as tensions boiled over among cast members.
The altercation stemmed from an earlier dispute between former football star Jimmy Bullard and eventual winner Adam Thomas. Jimmy had pulled out of a Bushtucker trial, which would have also ended Adam’s time on the show, sparking a feud that reignited during the finale. As hosts Ant and Dec attempted to calm the situation, former professional boxer David Haye also joined the fray.
Outside Acton Studios, where the live final was filmed, the bad mood persisted. Photographs show an irate Jimmy Bullard in a heated conversation with Ant McPartlin. A security team member then appeared to usher a bemused-looking Ant away from the exchange. Winner Adam Thomas looked on as the scenes unfolded.
The row overshadowed Adam’s victory, with both Sinitta and Gemma Collins walking off stage during the argument. Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for Jimmy Bullard and Ant McPartlin for comment.
This incident follows a series of dramatic moments in the I’m A Celebrity finale, which has been described as a ‘car crash’ by viewers. The show continues to generate headlines as tensions between contestants remain high.
