The I’m A Celebrity final was quite a chaotic affair
Declan Donnelly comforted Scarlett Moffatt who was left in tears after the chaotic I’m A Celebrity live final.
An insider told the Mirror that Scarlett – who announced she was pregnant with her second child last week – was left upset by the scenes on Friday night.
Our source – who was in the audience of the live final – said: “Scarlett and Ashley kept saying it was ‘disgusting’ that things had come to this and were shaking their heads. Scarlett was crying and was consoled by Dec.”
The drama unfolded when former footballer Jimmy Bullard, 47, repeatedly accused Adam Thomas of being ‘abusive, aggressive and intimidating’.
It saw Ant question Bullard’s version of events. He said: “I was there and I didn’t think it was intimidating.” When he questioned him again Ant’s voice went higher pitched and he said, “No, I was there, Jim.”
Sinitta yesterday spoke out about the “bad blood” following the turbulent finale. The singer has since shared a long statement on Instagram expressing her views on the events and urging people “to try and see both sides”.

She also responded to the online criticism directed at her personally, revealing that internet trolls have branded her “talentless, ugly, desperate, past it, irrelevant”.
Posting on her Instagram Story the day after the final, Sinitta explained: “I really wish everyone had been given a proper chance to speak last night so it didn’t end up feeling hectic with people trying to talk over each other. Before I walked out, all I wanted to say was this: I hate that people are being called bullies and that there’s bad blood between us.”
She added: “I had a wonderful time with everyone despite one difficult incident, and I truly hope we can hold on to the life lessons and the incredible experience we shared together. I adore them all.”
She continued: “I also feel that the word bully is a very serious accusation. It’s something I don’t believe should be used lightly. There are too many truly bad people in the world already, and it’s dangerous to label good people in that way. Adam apologised, and I thought that was a very grown-up thing to do.
“I also believe friendships and banter can sometimes be misunderstood when viewed from the outside. I simply ask people to try and see both sides.”
Speaking about experiencing online abuse herself, Sinitta addressed her followers: “I also want to say clearly, I am not a bully either. Over the last two weeks, I’ve received a lot of verbal abuse on social media. I understand people feel passionate about the show and support their favourites, and I respect that, but I don’t deserve to be sworn at or called names. I would never treat anyone like that.
“You call me grandma, but would you speak to your grandmother that way? What about kindness? What about respect? Social media shouldn’t be about finding someone to hate and then everyone joining in.”
She added: “You can call me talentless, ugly, desperate, past it, irrelevant. But those things are not true, and ironically, that behaviour is also bullying.”
The star also said she’d had a “life-changing, amazing time” on the jungle programme.
“The experience is finished now,” she stated. “We all survived the African jungle and the trials, and we have a new king, Adam Thomas. I wish him well; I always have.”
