I’m A Celebrity
Bullard will be among a string of celebrities re-entering the jungle experience alongside Gemma Collins, Mo Farah, Ashley Roberts and Adam Thomas.
When he initially appeared in I’m A Celebrity, Jimmy was the first contestant to be voted off the season 14 outing, despite being the bookies’ favourite when he walked into the jungle.
His departure came after a “bullying” debate broke out with some fans believing that he was picking on his fellow campmate Jake Quickenden with Jimmy later stating that it was “banter”.

When told that some people found it “too much” in his exit interview, Jimmy replied: “Really? well I didn’t, that is what I was all about.
“I get what you are saying, but with Jake [Quickenden] and Foggy [Carl Fogarty] I could go that deep. I couldn’t go that deep with Micheal [Buerk].
“Jake and Foggy i could let them have it full blast. I thought I could anyway.”

Personal life
Bullard isn’t currently married but he is engaged to his long-term partner Diane who he shares two children with, Archie and Beau.
Diane has very much been kept out of the spotlight but before he entered the jungle the first time around, he told The Mirror: “My amazing missus, along with my two fantastic kids, Archie and Beau, are the greatest things that ever happened to me.”
Little is known about his daughter but Archie is a successful karting and racing driver who is competing in this year’s Fox Motorsport GB4 Championship.
I’m A Celebrity South Africa premieres on Monday, April 6, at 9pm on ITV.
