Light entertainment turned uncomfortably heavy on Friday\u2019s live final of I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a>: South Africa. The second episode felt closer to Big Brother\u2019s infamous \u2018Fight Night\u2019 than a light-hearted evening of reminiscing and celebration. Over the years, we\u2019d seen Shaun Ryder rowing with Gillian McKeith and Janice Dickinson, constantly clashing with Lynne Franks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But no previous jungle bust-ups on the ITV reality show could have prepared us for the five minutes of anger and accusations that even wiped the smile off of Ant and Dec<\/a>\u2019s faces. Ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard kicked it off with his revelations<\/a> that show winner Adam Thomas<\/a> had been \u201cabusive, aggressive and intimidating\u201d towards him when Bullard had quit at the start of the Rancid Run trial, shown in Tuesday night\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For a few minutes, it had looked like his partner, former Emmerdale<\/a> star Thomas, would be collateral damage and would have to leave too. Viewers had seen Thomas accuse Jimmy of \u201ctaking the p*ss\u201d and being a pr*ck, but on Friday, Bullard told Ant and Dec, \u201cYou didn\u2019t show the C-bombs.\u201d Ant McPartlin, obviously in ITV\u2019s corner, retorted, \u201cI didn\u2019t think it was intimidating\u201d. He didn\u2019t deny that Adam had sworn at his campmate, but did say the words couldn\u2019t be broadcast. Had ITV lost their beep button then? They normally love to give \u2018strong language\u2019 warnings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On Friday, Adam, 37, admitted \u201cemotions were definitely running high\u201d, but added \u201cI have nothing but respect for Jimmy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a funny way of showing it,\u201d quipped ex-boxer David Haye, whose digs at Thomas in the camp had all been screened. \u201cYou weren\u2019t even there!\u201d snapped Declan Donnelly. No, but like the rest of us Haye had seen the ITV edit that had painted Adam as a martyr hung out to dry by Bullard. Craig Charles had already said on This Morning that ITV had watered it down: \u201cAdam was so wound up, so aggressive, like a coiled spring. It looked like he was going to attack Jimmy, he was dropping f-bombs and c-bombs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Haye, who had come over a bit like Popeye\u2019s bully-boy enemy Bluto in previous episodes filmed last September, hit home when he said it had taken \u201ca lot of editing to make this poor guy\u201d \u2013 Adam \u2013 \u201clook like a victim\u201d. The pair had fallen out when Thomas smuggled contraband chocolate into the camp costing them two hard-won stars and losing them food. Haye then accused the producers of cutting the banter that Adam and his defenders had aimed back at him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
