Just when it looked like he would completely boycott the show, Jimmy Bullard has made a dramatic U-turn—confirming he WILL attend the live final of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! this Friday.
The former footballer, 47, had been widely expected to skip the finale after his explosive fallout with Adam Thomas, which has dominated headlines since it aired. But now, in a twist few saw coming, Jimmy appears ready to show up—despite an ongoing legal dispute with ITV.
And he didn’t hold back.
Reposting a video from fellow campmate Sinitta, Jimmy hinted that his side of the story is far from over. He wrote: My version will be told Friday! Can’t wait to see you all… well some of yous!
That final remark? Widely interpreted as a pointed jab at Adam—suggesting tensions between the pair are still very much alive months after filming wrapped.
A Bitter Row That Refuses to Die
The feud between Jimmy and Adam erupted during a brutal trial in the South African jungle, where tempers flared and insults flew. Adam was seen shouting at Jimmy and branding him a “p***k” after Jimmy uttered the show’s famous exit phrase mid-challenge.
What followed only added fuel to the fire.
Producers reportedly changed the rules to allow Adam to remain in the competition—while Jimmy was ultimately sent home as the fourth contestant eliminated. The decision left Jimmy stunned, with insiders claiming he felt unfairly treated.
One source revealed: None of this is Jimmy’s fault. It feels like ITV has taken Adam’s side rather than Jimmy’s. He was left completely baffled at Adam being allowed to carry on.
Legal Threats and Money Drama Behind the Scenes
Behind the scenes, things escalated even further.
Jimmy is believed to have consulted legal advisors after being warned he could lose 20% of his fee if he failed to attend the final—something required under strict contractual obligations.
Up until now, he had refused to take part in any promotional duties, skipping interviews and even the official press launch.
But the financial stakes—and perhaps the chance to tell his side publicly—appear to have changed everything.
Reports also suggest Jimmy may pursue legal action against ITV if any of his earnings are docked.
Editing Scandal Adds Fuel to the Fire
As if the drama wasn’t already intense, new claims have emerged that ITV edited out some of the most shocking moments from the clash.
According to insiders, a particularly vile insult from Adam—reportedly including the C-word—was cut from the broadcast.
A source claimed: Adam totally lost it. He started screaming at Jimmy, calling him a c*** and every other name under the sun.
If true, it raises serious questions about how the feud has been portrayed—and whether viewers have only seen part of the story.
Friday’s Final Just Got Unmissable
With Jimmy now set to appear—and promising to reveal “his version”—the live final is shaping up to be one of the most explosive in the show’s history.
Will he confront Adam face-to-face? Or will the tension simmer just beneath the surface?
Either way, one thing is certain: all eyes will be on that stage.
