Well, I don’t know about you but I’m not sure I’m over the carnage that was Friday’s (24 April) live I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! South Africa final.
Things quickly descended into chaos in the first part of the show when David Haye began calling out from the audience.
And when it returned for its second part it truly kicked off, with Jimmy Bullard taking the chance to publicly air his feelings on the clash with Adam Thomas.
Pre-recorded back in September, things turned sour between the pair when the actor hit out at the footballer for quitting the show, threatening his place.

Bullard has claimed remarks were left out of the edit, with host Ant McPartlin confirming that was the case as some of it was ‘unbroadcastable’. And the campmate also branded Thomas’ behaviour as ‘abusive and aggressive’ – all filmed in front of a live studio audience, with one member claiming other brutal events happened off camera.
Instagram page Quirky Giraffe shared the ‘behind the scenes gossip’ after experiencing the mad I’m A Celeb final.
She claimed that during an early ad break, Haye had taken to the stage to try and make up with Thomas – who he has been accused of ‘bullying’.
“What you didn't see was that after the first time David was heckling Adam, during the ad break David went over to all the final four on the sofa and to say ‘Hi’,” the woman claimed, “and Adam just point blank refused [to shake his hand] and was like: ‘No I'm not having this.’”
She also added that when Bullard ranted about the actor’s behaviour and Sinitta walked off set, she shouted at the audience: “You weren't there it was really aggressive it was really intimidating.”
When Thomas was ultimately crowned winner of the show, he arguably didn’t exactly appear thrilled about it and we never heard from or saw him again, including during the spin-off show on ITV2.
And it’s alleged that following the win, the 37-year-old ripped off the crown and threw it to the ground.
It’s also said that haye had told Thomas: “You’re not a worthy winner.”
An ITV spokesperson previously told Metro that the claims Ant had stormed off swearing, calling the show a ‘mess’, are ‘absolutely not true’.
“This is pure fabrication,” they said.
While he did not appear on the show again to celebrate his win, Thomas shared a post on Instagram the next morning, including: “I walked through this journey with my heart first, no matter what came my way…It was not always easy, there were moments that could have broken me, but I stayed true to myself and that is something I will always be proud of.
“I have realised that when people try to dim your light, it says more about them than it ever will about you."
The LADbible Group has contacted ITV and representatives for Bullard, Haye and Thomas for comment.
Some of the most memorable feuds of I'm a Celebrity
Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks
Two very large personalities went head to head in 2007's I'm a Celeb with their constant arguing.
Writer Lynne eventually snapped at the former model, saying in tears: "You’re one of the most horrible people I’ve ever encountered."
And then, in the most Janice Dickinson-style ever, the America's Next Top Model judge called Lynne a 'witch' and threatened to fry up her ‘big old boobs’ and serve them to the campmates.
Kim Woodburn and Katie Price
The late Kim Woodburn was well known for her fiery personality, and in 2009 when she was on I'm a Celeb with glamour model Katie Price, this was very much showcased.
Kim was quick to show some honesty when Katie asked the camp what they thought of her, saying: "You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, 'We fear you protesteth too much'.
"You know full well you’ve got 10 to 12 million people watching every night and you know, madam, you’ll be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense."
Kim also said 'for some reason' the British public 'love' Katie and if she had 'her looks, she'd do it'. And as in 'do it', she meant pose in a bikini for the papers.
Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson
In the 2014 stint of the reality show, former politician Edwina Currie and TV personality Kendra Wilkinson butted heads several times.
While the pair didn't ever have a dramatic bust up, resentment clearly built up during their time in the Aussie jungle, with former Playboy bunny Kendra taking a swipe at her campmate upon her eviction.
"My God. I have no sympathy towards her," she said of Edwina.
Speaking further about comments made about her, Kendra said: "She’s a coward because she can’t say that to my face. She might want to grow a heart and learn how to learn about others. I don’t come from luxury like her.
"I mean she’s gross, she’s a gross person. To be honest with you I won’t even be able to look at Edwina again."
Edwina later went on to swipe back, saying that Kendra 'isn't even a proper celebrity'.
Lady Colin Campbell and Tony Hadley
I think we all remember where we were when this one kicked off in 2015.
It all started when Lady C, a socialite who's best known for being a Royal Family fanatic, threw a beetle the camp had found in the open fire - much to the dismay of Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley.
When he called out the TV personality for doing that to the 'beautiful beetle', she responded by saying: "I don’t need any input from you... You are a hypocritical pretentious arsehole. I’ve had enough of you. It’s none of your f**king business, a***hole."
She went on: "You’re a chippy oik with a mouth of diarrhoea. My opinion of you is that you are the lowest of the low, a bore. Let me tell you something, boy, you are of no significance to me. You’re so used to creeps and dollybirds, tarts.
"You don’t even have a good voice."
Andrew Maxwell and Ian Wright
When the 2019 camp erupted in a sexism row while preparing dinner, Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell accused footballer Ian Wright of 'singling him out'.
"You keep shouting at me Ian," he said, which prompted Ian to hit back: "Who is shouting, when did I shout? I wasn’t even talking to you, what did I say?"
After arguing, the pair eventually hugged it out - a rarity for these campside feuds - with Andrew saying: "I’m sorry, I’m really tired, I don’t know, I’m really tired… I’m not going to cry, I’m sorry."
