I’m A Celebrity star Adam Thomas’ explosive row with Jimmy Bullard is uncomfortable to watch

I’m A Celebrity…South Africa is set to descend into a bitter row during tonight’s episode, which has been teased in a new first-look clip.

The ITV episode will see Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard lock horns, after hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly task the all-star cast with pairing up to take on the Bushtucker Trial.

In the sneak peek at Tuesday night’s instalment, Adam and Jimmy are put together, but the former footballer decides the challenge is too much for him and even says the immortal words ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’.

In the challenge, the celebs are tasked with tackling a series of puzzles and obstacle courses while being covered in bugs and insects, all in the hopes of securing food for camp.

But, as Adam gets going on licking a cog along a wire maze, the former Fulham player stands on the sidelines and says: ‘Boys, I don’t think I’ve got it in me.’

Despite being urged on by Ant and Dec not to ‘let him down’, referring to Adam, the 47-year-old doesn’t fancy giving it a go.

Apologising to Adam before he presses the proverbial exit button, Jimmy says the show’s title and the trial is halted.

It also means that the campmates will be forced to forfeit the stars they have so far won.

Adam is clearly not best pleased, as he storms down to Jimmy and says: ‘aking the f****** piss, are you taking the f****** piss?’

The Waterloo Road star comes up to Jimmy, who replies: ‘Whoa, whoa, you don’t have to say that.

Everyone’s got their own story.’
Adam fires back: ‘I’m in there getting covered in f****** ants,’ while Jimmy tells him to ‘calm down’ and labels his response ‘pathetic’.

The explosive clip – which already makes for uncomfortable viewing – comes after it has been reported that an unnamed campmate is set to leave the jungle early due to ‘medical reasons’.

The campmate says: ‘I didn’t feel very well this morning… and the medics have advised I can’t return to camp.

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
