I’m A Celebrity fans have erupted in praise for Gemma Collins and Sinitta after they stormed off the stage during the chaotic live final, leaving their campmates to argue in the wake of an explosive confrontation between Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas.
The drama unfolded when Jimmy, 47, accused Adam, 37, of being “abusive, aggressive, and intimidating” during a heated row that was aired in the pre-recorded show. As tensions soared, the hosts, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, struggled to keep control of the situation, and it was during this turmoil that Sinitta, 62, made a quick exit, followed by Gemma Collins, 45.
Fans took to X to praise the pair for ‘acting correctly’ in the tense situation and even claimed the duo had ‘gone up in their estimations’ as they left the stage
The Toy Boy hitmaker appeared to voice her support for Jimmy Bullard, telling the audience: “You weren’t there – I was there, and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.” Fans took to X (formerly Twitter), expressing admiration for the pair’s decision to leave the stage, with many even saying that Gemma and Sinitta had “gone up in their estimations” for standing their ground.
One fan commented, “Never been a Gemma Collins fan, but she has changed my opinion,” while another wrote, “For Sinitta to say something negative about someone speaks volumes.”
The confrontation began when Jimmy and former heavyweight boxer David Haye, 45, accused ITV of editing the show to portray Adam Thomas more favorably. The argument spiraled as Jimmy questioned the authenticity of the footage, particularly regarding an explosive incident where Adam allegedly called him the “C-word” during a trial.
As the tension reached fever pitch, Sinitta and Gemma made their exits, with Gemma reportedly voicing her frustration over the treatment of Adam. “He will forever be my hero, Adam. He so deserves to win!” she said, as fans cheered her on.
As the live final continued, the chaos only escalated. The hosts struggled to keep things civil as Adam was crowned I’m A Celebrity South Africa’s Jungle Legend. Meanwhile, tensions between the contestants remained high, particularly with David Haye’s continued accusations that Adam did not deserve to win.
David, who had been involved in the fiery exchange, interrupted Ant and Dec multiple times, calling attention to the way Adam’s behavior was edited and questioning his legitimacy as a winner. “Do you think he deserves to win this after calling Jimmy the C-word?” David questioned, igniting further debate in the live audience.
Despite the back-and-forth, Adam was resolute in his apology for the way the situation had unfolded. “I take full responsibility for my actions,” he said. “Emotions were running high, and I have apologized to Jimmy on numerous occasions.”
While the drama unfolded on screen, viewers couldn’t help but notice how ITV’s editing choices played a role in shaping public perception, with many calling for transparency in how the final moments were presented.
The I’m A Celeb live final left fans divided, with some criticizing the production for its handling of the show’s editing, while others stood behind the stars for speaking out about the backstage tensions. As for the fallout, one thing’s clear: the drama surrounding this year’s I’m A Celeb will be remembered long after the final curtain.
