And last night\u2019s (20 April) episode showed <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/itv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ITV<\/a> viewers the first glimpse of this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It appears <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/tv\/im-celeb-adam-thomas-david-haye-statement-instagram-769012-20260420\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Thomas<\/a> and Jimmy Bullard will be clashing tonight as an explosive clip showed them starting to go off at one another during a Bush Tucker trial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Rumours of this \u2018<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/tv\/im-a-celeb-feud-all-stars-scarlett-moffatt-279356-20260406\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">huge bust-up<\/a>\u2019 began well ahead of the show airing earlier this month, having been filmed back in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But it seems to have spilled over, as it\u2019s now claimed that Bullard is \u2018refusing\u2019 to come back for the live final on Friday with Thomas having admitted this time round I\u2019m A Celeb was <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/tv\/im-a-celeb-david-haye-adam-thomas-row-arthritis-ant-and-dec-reaction-056739-20260420\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018so much tougher<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Jimmy Bullard can be seen saying it's 'pathetic' when he and Adam Thomas clash during a Bush Tucker trial (ITV)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHRhN2IzMjQ3.webp\"\/>Jimmy Bullard can be seen saying it&#8217;s &#8216;pathetic&#8217; when he and Adam Thomas clash during a Bush Tucker trial (ITV)\u2018Bust-up\u2019 between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Let\u2019s be honest, there\u2019s a sneaky part of us that\u2019s missed this kind of thing on I\u2019m A Celeb. Back in the day, it felt like it was filled with fiery moments, rowing <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">celebs<\/a> and big disagreements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">So seeing this clash of Thomas and Bullard really credits the All Stars name \u2013 this is what the show arguably used to be about. But, of course, technically, it is better for people to get on and not be offended\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">However, in a preview for tonight\u2019s episode, Monday night showed a first look at Thomas hurling swear words at the former <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/football\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">footballer<\/a> when he says &#8216;I&#8217;m a celebrity get me out of here&#8217; during a joint trial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cAre you taking the p**s?\u201d the actor says to Bullard, \u201cAre you taking the p**s?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">I&#8217;m a Celeb&#8217;s first look:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Ashley Roberts can be seen looking rather uncomfortable during what appears to be a trial as it cuts to Thomas and Bullard face to face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The actor shouts: \u201cI\u2019m in there getting covered in f**king ants,\u201d while Bullard responds: \u201cWoah, woah, woah, calm down, that\u2019s pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And as this clip has now been shown, it\u2019s claimed that the footballing star is \u2018refusing\u2019 to attend the live final due to this \u2018fallout\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Therefore, it\u2019s alleged he may lose part of his \u2018fee\u2019. It\u2019s also reported that Bullard and Thomas have not spoken since.<\/p>\n<p>Scarlett Moffatt put it down to \u2018lad banter\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The show has already seen clashes with David Haye, as viewers slammed him for \u2018bullying\u2019 Thomas in Friday\u2019s episode. However, the actor has since said he\u2019s made \u2018peace\u2019 with the boxer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But it doesn\u2019t yet appear to be the same for him and Bullard.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Well, things are heating up (ITV)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0Y2Q3NGFjYzFkMGE5OWYzYS9ibHRlYTQ3ZmQ2.webp\"\/>Well, things are heating up (ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And as rumours of this \u2018bust-up\u2019 began, campmate Moffatt said before airing that there was unsolicited \u2018lad banter\u2019 in the camp that caused tensions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cIt was a lot more intense, it was hardcore. It wasn\u2019t as harmonious as the first time I went in, only because I think we were all such big characters,\u201d she explained, having won her I&#8217;m A Celeb series back in 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Moffatt said during a media round table: \u201cI think a lot of it is this thing with like \u2013 and I\u2019m going to put it in quotes here like \u2018lad banter\u2019. But banter is only banter if it\u2019s with like consenting adults if everyone participating wants to participate in the banter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cI think sometimes some people didn\u2019t want to be involved but were even though they didn\u2019t want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The LADbible Group has contacted ITV and representatives for Bullard and Thomas for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most memorable feuds of I&#8217;m a CelebrityJanice Dickinson and Lynne Franks<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Two very large personalities went head to head in 2007&#8217;s I&#8217;m a Celeb with their constant arguing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Writer Lynne eventually snapped at the former model, saying in tears: &#8220;You\u2019re one of the most horrible people I\u2019ve ever encountered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And then, in the most Janice Dickinson-style ever, the America&#8217;s Next Top Model judge called Lynne a &#8216;witch&#8217; and threatened to fry up her \u2018big old boobs\u2019 and serve them to the campmates.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Woodburn and Katie Price<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The late Kim Woodburn was well known for her fiery personality, and in 2009 when she was on I&#8217;m a Celeb with glamour model Katie Price, this was very much showcased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Kim was quick to show some honesty when Katie asked the camp what they thought of her, saying: &#8220;You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, &#8216;We fear you protesteth too much&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;You know full well you\u2019ve got 10 to 12 million people watching every night and you know, madam, you\u2019ll be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Kim also said &#8216;for some reason&#8217; the British public &#8216;love&#8217; Katie and if she had &#8216;her looks, she&#8217;d do it&#8217;. And as in &#8216;do it&#8217;, she meant pose in a bikini for the papers.<\/p>\n<p>Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In the 2014 stint of the reality show, former politician Edwina Currie and TV personality Kendra Wilkinson butted heads several times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">While the pair didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;My God. I have no sympathy towards her,&#8221; she said of Edwina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Speaking further about comments made about her, Kendra said: &#8220;She\u2019s a coward because she can\u2019t say that to my face. She might want to grow a heart and learn how to learn about others. I don\u2019t come from luxury like her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;I mean she\u2019s gross, she\u2019s a gross person. To be honest with you I won\u2019t even be able to look at Edwina again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Edwina later went on to swipe back, saying that Kendra &#8216;isn&#8217;t even a proper celebrity&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Colin Campbell and Tony Hadley<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">I think we all remember where we were when this one kicked off in 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It all started when Lady C, a socialite who&#8217;s best known for being a Royal Family fanatic, threw a beetle the camp had found in the open fire &#8211; much to the dismay of Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">When he called out the TV personality for doing that to the &#8216;beautiful beetle&#8217;, she responded by saying: &#8220;I don\u2019t need any input from you&#8230; You are a hypocritical pretentious arsehole. I\u2019ve had enough of you. It\u2019s none of your f**king business, a***hole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">She went on: &#8220;You\u2019re 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\u2019re so used to creeps and dollybirds, tarts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;You don\u2019t even have a good voice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Maxwell and Ian Wright<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">When the 2019 camp erupted in a sexism row while preparing dinner, Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell accused footballer Ian Wright of &#8216;singling him out&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;You keep shouting at me Ian,&#8221; he said, which prompted Ian to hit back: &#8220;Who is shouting, when did I shout? I wasn\u2019t even talking to you, what did I say?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">After arguing, the pair eventually hugged it out &#8211; a rarity for these campside feuds &#8211; with Andrew saying: &#8220;I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m really tired, I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m really tired\u2026 I\u2019m not going to cry, I\u2019m sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While David Haye might have now left the camp, there\u2019s still a feud brewing in South Africa.
