David Haye and Jimmy Bullard reveal they were ‘kicked out’ of heated I’m a Celeb final
David Haye and Jimmy Bullard have claimed they were 'kicked out' of the I'm A Celeb live finale.
Ex-footballer Bullard and boxer Haye have made headlines for their comments during the explosive finale, which saw contestants Gemma Collins and Sinitta walk off the stage at one point.
At the centre of the row was a bust-up which occurred between Bullard and series winner Adam Thomas, over the former's decision to quit a trial – a decision which meant that both he and Thomas would be booted from the camp.
Bullard questioned the editing of the row, claiming that viewers weren't shown the worst of the argument and that Waterloo Road actor Thomas had acted 'abusive and aggressive' towards him.

"I absolutely threw him under the bus; I get it. I'll wear that," Bullard said of his behaviour during the trial.
"But what I don't stand on is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating. I don't stand on it.
"You were there, you had front row seats, you didn't show none of the C-bombs."
Ant then explained that footage of Thomas calling him a c*** had been edited out as the word is considered 'unbroadcastable'.
Now, The Sun has published footage of what appears to be Bullard and Haye exiting the studios while claiming they had been asked to leave the event over their behaviour.
"We’ve been kicked out [of] the show. What’s that about? Genuinely," Haye can be heard saying to his phone while walking alongside Jimmy.
"Jimmy, tell them what happened?" he says, to which Bullard responds: "We got kicked out."
"Why have you been kicked out?" a fan can then be heard asking, with Haye replying: "For trying to tell the truth."
"Some campmates were uncomfortable being on stage with David and Jimmy, so we sent them home during Unpacked," a show source later added to the outlet.
The pair later bumped into hosts Ant and Dec while waiting in the car park, with photographs showing Bullard interacting with Ant while the pair were both flanked by security.
Haye had piped up in defence of Bullard multiple times throughout the evening, at one point asking Thomas: "Do you still think you deserve to win this after calling Jimmy the C-word a couple of times? Do you think you deserve to win it?"
"After that trial, I deserve it, yeah," Thomas replied.
Meanwhile, an audience member has since spoken out about what it was like to be in the crowd during the heated finale, calling the whole event an 'insane mess'.
"The whole thing was insane, it was such a mess," Lex (@lexhartop) said of the event in a post on TikTok, going on to claim that cast members kept walking off stage.
