I'm a Celeb final descends into chaos as two contestants walk off during Jimmy Bullard argument

Things got seriously out of hand.

The I'm a Celeb South Africa live final ended in complete disaster as Jimmy Bullard and David Haye's rants led to two campmates walking off set.

After nearly three weeks, the second season of the all-stars version of ITV reality series ' I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' came to end during a live show on Friday night.

Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas was crowned king of the jungle during the live broadcast from London, but that wasn't before all kinds of drama took place.

Throughout the series, Thomas regularly came to blows with ex-Soccer AM host Bullard and former heavyweight boxing champion David Haye, with the two sports stars accused of bullying the soap opera actor.

In what was undoubtedly the most notable moment of the series, Thomas began shouting at Bullard in a heated argument that the former Premier League player later described as 'abusive and aggressive'.

And when the moment was brought up during the finale in London, things only got worse as both Sinitta and Gemma Collins walked off the set as Bullard demanded ITV show the full cut of his fight with Thomas.

The fight between the pair occurred after they were placed in a team together for one of the show's infamous Bushtucker trials, with the rules of the show stating that the losing team would lose their place in the jungle.

Thomas, clearly eager to go on and win the trial and the show, did his part before Bullard effectively withdrew from the show completely by saying, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.”

An infuriated Thomas immediately began shouting and screaming at his fellow contestant, with several contestants claiming that he called Bullard a 'c***' and a "p****' in moments now shown on TV.

"They didn't show none of the C-bombs, it's a liberty," Bullard stated as he began to argue with hosts Ant and Dec during the live finale.

But Ant doubled-down on the decision, stating that most of the argument was 'unbroadcastable' before admitting that he disagreed with Bullard's claim that Thomas had been 'abusive, aggressive and intimidating' towards him.

Thomas admitted that he takes 'full responsibility' for his actions and apologised to Bullard, but that didn't stop things from escalating even further as Haye started interrupting, describing the actor as the 'victim'.

Haye went on to claim, to heavy booing form the live audience: "What I've seen is a lot of editing to make this poor guy [Thomas] look like the victim."

Sensational TV, and to make it lighter. Just look how characteristically uncomfortable @seannwalsh is during this entire exchange as all the viewers were. 😅 #Imaceleb pic.twitter.com/W3YOY3Hdi2

Eventually, as Bullard riled up both his fellow campmates and the audience, tensions boiled over and Sinitta stood up to walk off set, arguing with the audience as she left the stage.

The singer agreed with Bulard and Haye that Thomas had been 'aggressive and abusive', telling the audience "you weren't there".

Just moments later, Collins, who has been a fierce defender of Thomas, also stormed off and could be heard muttering: "Their behaviour’s disgusting”.
