ITV Faces Drama: Jimmy Bullard’s Funds Cut Amid Adam Thomas Feud
Stars on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! All Stars have been rocked by a heated dispute. The row involves Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas. It may affect Bullard’s attendance at the live final.
Bushtucker trial clash
The confrontation unfolded during a bushtucker trial. Fellow contestants Sinitta, Harry Redknapp and Ashley Roberts took part. Bullard declined to continue, forcing the trial to end early.
Presenters Ant and Dec urged him to carry on for his team. The early stoppage meant the camp forfeited the stars they had won that day.
Camp confrontation and reactions
After the trial, Adam Thomas confronted Bullard in an angry exchange. The confrontation was intense and used strong language. Bullard tried to calm the situation and apologised to his campmates.
The clash reportedly left the rest of the camp shocked. Production notes show the series was filmed in South Africa. Filming took place in September last year.
Ongoing fallout
Reports say the pair remain on poor terms several months later. Bullard missed the All Stars press launch last month. He is also said to be refusing to attend the Friday live final.
A source told The Sun there is “no going back” between them. If he skips the final, ITV could impose a financial penalty under his contract.
Potential financial consequences
Producers are reported to be able to dock 20 percent of a contestant’s fee for failing to fulfil obligations. That would effectively result in a funds cut for Bullard. His exact fee for this All Stars run remains unconfirmed.
He is believed to have earned up to £100,000 for a previous I’m a Celebrity appearance in 2014. The current arrangement would trigger deductions for missing key live commitments.
Series context and cast
Bullard, aged 47, is among 12 returning famous faces for the All Stars edition. The lineup includes David Haye, Gemma Collins and Seann Walsh. Other names on the roster are Scarlett Moffatt, Sir Mo Farah, Craig Charles and Beverley Callard.
The Adam Thomas feud has become the headline ITV faces drama in this series. The dispute is now a central talking point as the show reaches its climax.
What lies ahead
Producers must decide whether contractual penalties will apply. Viewers wait to learn if Bullard will attend the live final. The outcome could affect both his reputation and his pay.
