Bullard Faces Fee Cut Over Jungle Row
22 Apr
Summary
- Jimmy Bullard might lose 20% of his fee for skipping the finale.
- He had a heated argument with Adam Thomas during a bushtucker trial.
- The argument occurred during pre-taped filming in South Africa.
Jimmy Bullard is reportedly set to lose a significant portion of his earnings from "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" due to a falling out with fellow contestant Adam Thomas. The ex-Premier League player is anticipated to miss the show's live finale on April 24, 2026, following a tense confrontation during a bushtucker trial.
During the challenge, Bullard withdrew, causing his team to forfeit their stars. This action led to a heated exchange with Thomas, who was angered by Bullard's lack of participation. The incident, which occurred during pre-taped filming in South Africa last September, has reportedly left the duo estranged.
Sources suggest Bullard is resolute in his decision to skip the finale, stating there is "no going back" with Thomas. If he does not attend, ITV executives are expected to enforce a 20% deduction from his appearance fee, as outlined in his contract. Bullard's original appearance in 2014 reportedly earned him up to £100,000.
