Tonight's (24 April) live final of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! South Africa saw David Haye claim a 'lot of stuff' was cut out from the drama between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard.
"There was a lot of stuff that was said that was unbroadcastable which is why - look we'll get into all of this later in the show, you'll all have a right to reply," Ant told him as the audience booed.
During Haye's outburst, he claimed Thomas called Bullard the 'C-word' more than once.
This came while Gemma Collins, beside him, was saying how much she believed the Waterloo Road actor deserved to win the I'm A Celeb All Stars series.

But the boxer saw their exchange as his chance to pipe up and bring in the drama that has been on-going for months, after a rumour of a feud between Bullard and Thomas started shortly after filming in September.
It was even speculated that the former footballer was refusing to attend the live show this evening due to the clash.
Their 'bust-up' was finally aired earlier this week when the former footballer said 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' during a trial in which he was partnered with the actor.
And Haye asked 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?"
The crowd quickly began to react, as the GC iconically spread her arms across the footballer and boxer. "After that trial, I deserve it yeah," a smiling Thomas replied.
The live audience, including Collins, applauded and cheered for him, drowning out Haye who continued while Bullard laughed.
Dec assured him they will 'come to this a little bit later', with the live show now on a break until it continues on ITV at 10pm.
"Don't you think you should ask Jimmy whether he thinks he deserves to win it?" Haye said.
"We will. We're going to ask Jimmy later and we'll speak to you later," Ant and Dec responded before they joked: "I knew it was going too smoothly."
As some campmates have shown support for Thomas in recent days, others have called him out with Craig Charles saying that during the incident the actor was 'so wound up' and 'so aggressive'.
“It looked like he was going to attack Jimmy, he was dropping f-bombs and c-bombs,” he claimed.
"They couldn’t broadcast it, I get that, I’m not blaming ITV, they edited it out. So mine and Harry’s response to that was because of what we’d really seen.
“They had to water down what we’d really seen but they didn’t water down our responses.
And Thomas wrote on Instagram last night: "I have to say, I’ve seen some comments going around about things that some of my fellow campmates said during the row between me and Jimmy, and I just want to make one thing clear, I completely stand by them. Not everything was shown, and honestly, a lot of it probably couldn’t be aired anyway, I’ll hold my hands up to that. So I understand where they were coming from, and I respect their honesty."
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."
