Jimmy Bullard issued Adam Thomas message after huge bust up leaves him ‘refusing to show up to final’
Well, after months of rumours and speculation, last night (21 April) finally saw the bust-up between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard air on TV.
The pair were partnered up for a trial on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! South Africa when it all kicked off.
ITV filmed this All Stars series back in September and pretty much since then, there’s been talks of a feud between two of its campmates.
And it’s been claimed this week that it’s still somewhat going on with Bullard and Thomas reportedly not having spoken since. Plus, it’s alleged the footballer is ‘refusing to show up to the final’ on Friday night.

During the trial, he made the classic ‘I’m A Celeb’ comment that meant he bowed out of competing and could leave the show. But this also could impact Thomas, who did not take it lightly.
“You’re joking me bro. Jim, come on man. Don’t do this bro! Jimmy man, come on bro. Is that how we’re going out, yeah?” he said, as Bullard told the stars: “I’ve had enough. Sorry boys and girls.”
But Thomas didn’t seem to be having any of it as he shouted: “Are you taking the p*ss? Are you taking the p*ss?”
“I’m in there getting covered with f**king ants. Pr*ck.”
Bullard told the shouting star to ‘calm down’ as he branded the reaction ‘pathetic’ but Thomas continued: “What’s up with you bro? If you wanted to go, go. Don’t take me with you. Go home in camp, don’t do it on my f**king watch.”
“I choose when I come and when I go,” Bullard said.
The camp ended up voting to save Thomas but as the footballer left, he reportedly refused to do an exit Q&A. He did, however, say during the episode that letting Thomas down ‘is a killer’ as he issued a final message.
“What a kerfuffle!” he said. “From day dot we had the crack. But he’s just on a different journey to me, he wants to win it. He wants to do well and I get it.
“I thought we were going in there for stars for the camp to eat, but then they leave the door open for you, you could say, ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’, and go home.
“People think I’m a bit out there and I give it to people, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re ready for them trials and stuff.”
Bullard said he ‘struggled’ a lot and it had ‘got harder and harder’ in there, particularly after David Haye and Gemma Collins’ exit.
“Unfortunately my time was up in the game,” he added.
Meanwhile, Thomas admitted to the camp he was ‘embarrassed’ by his behaviour.
“Only I know what I’ve been through and it’s been building up and I just acted how I did. And I just regret it all,” he said.
“I regret it. It doesn’t sit right with me being in here now. It’s just thrown a big spanner in the works, knowing I shouldn’t be here.”
LADbible contacted ITV and representatives for Bullard 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."
