Ex-professional footballer Jimmy Bullard is set to return for I'm A Celebrity South Africa, appearing on the show 12 years after his first stint. Bullard, originally from East Ham and now 47 years old, was famously the first celebrity to be eliminated in his previous season, despite being a bookmaker's favourite.
His early exit from series 14 followed a "bullying" controversy, with some viewers believing he was targeting fellow campmate Jake Quickenden. Bullard maintained it was merely "banter." Since his football career, he has transitioned into television, co-presenting Soccer AM and appearing on shows like Celebrity Masterchef.
Bullard is engaged to his long-term partner Diane, and they share two children, Archie and Beau. While details about his daughter remain private, son Archie has pursued a career in karting and motorsport, currently competing in the Fox Motorsport GB4 Championship. Bullard's estimated fortune is reported to be around £3.5 million.
