It\u2019s been a tense series of I\u2019m A Celebrity: South Africa<\/a> so far, with cast feuds<\/a> and rule breaks resulting in a bunch of unhappy campers. However, the drama is set to reach new heights in tonight\u2019s episode, with Adam Thomas lashing out at Jimmy Bullard <\/a>during an unexpected row. <\/p>\n

The surprise incident was teased at the end of last night\u2019s episode on Monday (20 April), with a clip showing Bullard and Thomas being paired up in an upcoming Bushtucker Trial. As Ant McPartlin comments to Dec that Bullard \u201cisn\u2019t really moving\u201d during the challenge, we then see Thomas angrily shout: \u201cAre you taking the p***?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re taking the p***. I\u2019m in there getting covered in f***ing ants,\u201d he tells him, with Bullard responding: \u201cWoah, woah, woah, calm down. That\u2019s pathetic.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"JimmyJimmy Bullard found himself in a tense row with Adam Thomas while filming (ITV)<\/p>\n

While the full clash will air in Tuesday\u2019s episode, it has been reported that Bullard and Thomas are not on speaking terms nearly eight months after the series was filmed. <\/p>\n

According to The Sun, Bullard is threatening not to attend the show\u2019s final, which will be filmed live on Friday in London. The Independent has reached out to ITV and Bullard for comment. <\/p>\n

The spin-off show proved to be a tough experience for former Emmerdale actor Thomas, who also struggled with campmate David Haye while in the jungle. <\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Thomas admitted that Haye \u201cbroke\u201d him while filming the show<\/a>. It came after Haye turned on Thomas for asking not to do a Bushtucker Trial as he was feeling unwell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho gives a s*** if he doesn’t feel well,\u201d Haye said. \u201cHe’s a grown-ass man. I don’t like guys who are a bit useless. I hate them useless guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Writing on Instagram, Thomas said: \u201cHe broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits, and I\u2019ve told David this and he\u2019s apologised and that\u2019s that! I\u2019ve moved on now, am not one to hold a grudge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monday night\u2019s episode saw Haye and Gemma Collins leave the jungle<\/a>, with the ex-boxer addressing the tension with Thomas in his exit interview. <\/p>\n

\"AdamAdam Thomas on ‘I’m A Celebrity: South Africa’ (ITV)<\/p>\n

He said that there was \u201cno bad blood\u201d on his side. \u201cLook, I’ve been immersed in tough boxing gyms since I was 10 years old. Literally fighting daily, much bigger men than myself, pushing myself to the limits, physically and mentally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when a grown man tells me that a fun TV show \u2013 where we’re being paid handsomely every single day \u2013 is the hardest thing he’s ever been through, it’s just not a frequency I recognise. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was actually on my best behaviour in there, honestly. I’ve spoken to Adam, I’ve said my piece, and some of what’s still to air will speak for itself. I’ll leave it there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-542754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
