explosive exit
Watch moment Jimmy Bullard & David Haye reveal they were ‘kicked out’ of tense I’m a Celeb final for ‘telling the truth’
DAVID Haye and Jimmy Bullard were kicked out of the I’m A Celebrity: South AfrIca finale by ITV filming last night after their explosive on air row with Adam Thomas and hosts Ant and Dec.
Our exclusive video shows ex pro boxer David, 45, exiting the London studios on Friday night, flanked by security saying: “We’ve been kicked out the show. What’s that about? Genuinely.”
Speaking on a camera phone to someone David says: “Jimmy tell them what happened?”
To which Jimmy says: “We got kicked out.”
Asked by a fan: “Why have you been kicked out?” David responds: “For trying to tell the truth.”
Ex footie star Jimmy, 47, waited for his taxi to arrive with his hands in his pockets.
The pair, who sparred with winner Adam, 37, did not appear on the after show I’m A Celeb: Unpacked and left while the show was still on air.
In the car park they bumped into Ant and Dec, who were also leaving the studio.
Ant offered his hand to shake with Jimmy and patted his arm, while David hugged Ant.
A show source said: “Some campmates were uncomfortable being on stage with David and Jimmy, so we sent them home during Unpacked.”
David, 45, was accused of bullying Waterloo Road star Adam, 37, while Jimmy, 47, clashed with Adam during a trial which saw the actor go on an expletive-filled rant.
While ITV did show elements of that confrontation, the pair accused the network of editing the show in favour of Adam, something which forced hosts Ant and Dec to step in and furiously deny.
The chaotic scenes cast a shadow over the evening, and Adam looked utterly dejected when he was crowned the winner, before opting not to return to spin-off show Unpacked for a winners chat.
Last night, viewers watched Jimmy get riled when Ant insisted Adam wasn’t intimidating in scenes that weren’t aired on TV due to the C-word being thrown around.
He called it a “liberty” and was backed by his controversial pal David, who demanded Adam explain why he was lobbing obscenities at Jimmy.
ITV veterans Ant and Dec uncharacteristically lost their cool and struggled to keep a lid on tempers on stage, with Ant telling David “he wasn’t there” when he started to comment about what happened between Jimmy and Adam, having been voted off the show earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, Adam was later seen leaving the studios looking downcast with his family after what happened during the final.
Today he took to Instagram to thank viewers for their support, and insisting he wasn’t going to let anyone ‘dim my shine’.
However, his wife Caroline also shared a post where she branded Jimmy and David “vultures” and slammed their “vile behaviour” towards her husband.
Adam’s jungle BFF Gemma Collins also branded them “vile” in an Instagram post, while Scarlett Moffatt shared her sadness over Adam’s win being “ruined” during Unpacked.
But the divides still remained among the campmates, as Craig Charles took aim at ITV’s editing and Sinitta also hit out at Adam’s behaviour as she stormed off during the live final.
