With I’m A Celebrity: South Africa viewers still reeling over Jimmy Bullard’s clash with Adam Thomas on the show<\/a> this week, the man himself has taken to Instagram to hint that he’ll be telling his story very soon. The current All-Stars run of the ITV hit concludes on Friday.<\/p>\n

Although the series was shot back in 2025, the finale will be aired live – and there had been unconfirmed press speculation that Bullard won’t be attending. <\/p>\n

But in a caption on an Instagram post<\/a> today (22 April), he indicated that he plans to tell his side of the story.<\/p>\n

He shared a video clip of campmate Sinitta talking about the clash with Thomas, in which she said Jimmy “told [her] that his father was really ill and he was feeling guilty that he wasn’t home with his dad. So his head was gone.”<\/p>\n

Captioning the clip, Bullard wrote: “Wow thanks @thesinittaofficial shame that wasn\u2019t shown! My version will be told Friday! Can\u2019t wait to see you all\u2026.well some of yous!!” He added a laughing emoji to the end of the post.<\/p>\n

Digital Spy has reached out to ITV for comment on Bullard’s attendance.<\/p>\n

Last night, Thomas and Bullard were paired together for a challenge in which the losing team would be eliminated. When the latter said the immortal words, “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here,” fireworks soon exploded.<\/p>\n

He later said: “Letting Adam down is a killer, he’s my boy. He’s just on a different journey than me… I’ve got my mum and dad at home, the old man ain’t too well. I struggled so much, it’s gotten harder and harder… Unfortunately, my time is up in the game.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Thomas – who also struggled with the divisive David Haye<\/a> – has taken to Instagram to pay tribute to his female campmates: Gemma Collins<\/a>, Ashley Roberts, Scarlett Moffatt, Beverley Callard and Sinitta.<\/p>\n

“I just want to say thank you to all these incredible women,” he said. “You\u2019ve supported me in ways I don\u2019t even think you fully understand, through the doubt, the unknown, and all the moments in between. I\u2019ve always had a soft heart but a strong soul, and this whole experience really tested that.<\/p>\n

“For months, I didn\u2019t know how any of this would be perceived. Even though I stood by every decision I made, there was always that little voice wondering how it would be shown, how it would be edited, how people would see me. And that uncertainty wasn\u2019t easy to carry.<\/p>\n

“But now, reading your messages, seeing your comments, feeling your support, it\u2019s given me something I can\u2019t even put into words. It\u2019s brought me peace. It\u2019s reminded me that staying true to myself was always enough.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I was never in it to win. I just refused to let them win by breaking me\u2026”<\/p>\n
