Gemma Collins has shared some behind the scenes footage from the live final of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa which has her meeting David Haye and joked that he was a 'villain'.

The stuff that ended up on people's TV screens was quite crazy as tempers flared, arguments raged and both Collins and singer Sinitta walked off the set having appeared to have their fill of the drama.

Most of the arguments were between Jimmy Bullard, David Haye and the series winner Adam Thomas over things that happened on the show including Bullard not participating in a trial with some choice language from Thomas not included in the episode's broadcast, and accusations of Haye bullying Thomas.

Sharing footage of her getting ready for the live final with her makeup getting done, she wondered where all the drama had come from and why nobody seemed to realise this would all be in the past soon.

"I've heard that Jimmy's going to kick off tonight," she said as she got prepared for the show.

"And I'm being honest, what they've all got to remember, what they've all got to remember is we had a brilliant time here. Where has all this beef come from, man?

"Someone's going to be a winner and tomorrow our lives move on. I just feel like it's ruining it all."

The video then cut to David Haye coming into the room to be greeted by Collins who joked that he was the 'villain' of the show.

"Hayemaker! David Haye, the villain. It's all pantomime David, isn't it?" she said as they hugged as best as two people can when one of them has to stay still and is surrounded by people sorting their hair and makeup.

While she was happy to keep things light and joke about Haye being a pantomime villain, the former boxer didn't appear to be on the same page as he replied 'no it's the real thing, it's the real thing'.

At the finale Collins walked off, while Haye and Bullard claim they were 'kicked out' of the show as things descended into chaos that hosts Ant and Dec did their best to keep a lid on.

According to The Sun, Haye is so unhappy at the way things turned out that he's suing ITV for up to £10 million as he feels like he's being 'scapegoated' and claims he's 'lost earnings' due to the way I'm A Celeb was edited at certain points.

With all the chaos going on and the fallout it seems like some people would have been better off listening to Collins when she said 'tomorrow our lives move on' once the finale was done and dusted.

As for Adam Thomas, he's said he wants to draw a line under his interactions with Haye as he said the former boxer messaged him after the chaotic finale.

He said: "The most disturbing is that I look at David and even after the show and after everything he did, you know he sent me a voice note and was like 'oh mate, what a great show that was. I'm so happy you won. Congratulations'.

"I just sent him a message back just saying, you know 'I think this is where we draw the line and I hope that you find happiness bro, but I'm done'.

"That live show, I just felt like I'd just been exploited. I felt like I was just in the midst of it all, and it wasn't even about me."

LADbible Group has contacted ITV and David Haye's representatives for comment.
