It has whetted the appetite for the All Stars season set to come out in early 2026, although it seems the troubles in the jungle are already boiling over.
Explosive new reports have emerged that soap star Adam Thomas, 37, and former footballer turned Soccer AM host Jimmy Bullard, 47, had a massive row, which has threatened to derail the live final.
A TV insider revealed the showdown took place during a tense Bushtucker Trial.
‘Adam totally lost it. He started screaming at Jimmy, calling him a c*** and every other name under the sun.
‘It was completely unexpected and deeply shocked the other campmates, including Jimmy, who didn’t see it coming,’ the source told The Sun.
They added that the Emmerdale actor is ‘intensely competitive’, and took his return to the jungle ‘very seriously’.
‘He was frustrated by what happened in the Bushtucker Trial and lost his temper,’ they said, with reports claiming the Trial was so tough that one of the famous faces shouted the show’s catchphrase.
As such, producers are reportedly scrambling to convince the pair to reunite for the live final as they ‘can’t stomach being on stage together in front of an audience’.
‘Adam and Jimmy weren’t able to mend their friendship in South Africa after the massive row broke out,’ one source concluded.
Adam appeared in the 2016 series, where he came third behind Joel Dommett and the ultimate victor, Scarlett. Meanwhile, Jimmy was in the 2014 season, where he was the first to be voted off.
The former is well-known for his commitment to the horrifying challenges and is even fondly known as ‘Mr Bushtucker Trial’, saying at the time that he would be ‘on my knees crying’ after a task.
After he was rumoured to be in the new cast, a source told The Sun, ‘it’s the perfect time for him to head back into the jungle and affirm his position as Mr Bushtucker Trial.’
Metro has reached out to ITV, as well as the representatives of Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard, for comment.
I’m A Celebrity airs at 9pm on ITV1.
