Jimmy Bullard<\/a> has found himself at the heart of the controversy surrounding I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa<\/a>. The former Premier League<\/a> footballer was caught up in a heated confrontation with fellow campmate Adam Thomas after walking out during a challenge. Bullard accused Thomas of “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” behaviour, claiming the full footage was not broadcast on the programme.<\/p>\n Hosts Ant and Dec<\/a>, alongside several fellow campmates, dismissed those allegations as the finale dissolved into a heated exchange. Regardless of your perspective on the dispute, it has kept Bullard firmly in the spotlight and is likely to pave the way for further well-paid work on the reality television circuit.<\/p>\n Here’s everything you need to know about Bullard’s life outside the jungle, including his net worth, long-term fiancee and sports-star son…<\/p>\n A native of East Ham in London, Bullard was born on October 23, 1978. The midfielder’s footballing career featured stints at Wigan Athletic, Fulham, Hull City and West Ham.<\/p>\n Following his retirement from football, he carved out a career as a television personality, co-presenting Soccer AM on Sky Sports and featuring on programmes such as Celebrity MasterChef and the 2014 series of I’m A Celebrity.<\/p>\n He has additionally acquired a pub alongside his father and operates his own venture, Jimmy Bullard Ltd. He boasts an estimated net worth of \u00a33.5million.<\/p>\n A fiery clash between Thomas and Bullard dominated the final episode. Thomas was crowned the winner in Friday night’s finale, only for the 37-year-old actor to be branded “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” by Bullard.<\/p>\n David Haye then accused the programme of manipulating footage to portray Thomas as a “victim”. After springing to the actor’s defence, fellow contestants Sinitta and Gemma Collins stormed off set.<\/p>\n During the episode, Bullard called upon Sinitta and Collins to share their views on Thomas’s conduct throughout the show.<\/p>\n
