JIMMY Bullard accused Ant and Dec of stitching him up by leaving out footage of his Adam Thomas bust-up in the chaotic all-stars I’m A Celeb final.
Winner Adam’s wife said Bullard and David Haye attacked him “like vultures” in a “vile display”.
Ashley Roberts was in tears as she got caught in a verbal crossfire in the all-stars I’m A Celeb final.
The Pussycat Doll singer was sat between Jimmy and David as they tore into winner Adam Thomas.
Producers then asked ex-Prem star Bullard, 47, and former boxer Haye, 45, to leave for making campmates uncomfortable.
Jimmy agreed to turn up for Friday’s live ITV1 final in London expecting them to show the unseen clips — and was furious when they didn’t.
Our exclusive footage shows him and ex-boxer Haye telling how they were “thrown out” of the studio, before Bullard cleared the air with Ant and Dec in the car park.
Other off-screen drama in the chaotic final included:
Adam ripping off his crown and throwing it to the ground.
Haye goading him, “You’re not a worthy winner” as ex-Emmerdale actor Adam says, “This is bullying.”
Gemma Collins calling Haye “a nasty b*d”, and him and Bullard “an embarrassment to reality TV”.
Fury erupted at the reunion at London’s Versa Studios on Friday night. A source close to Bullard said: “Jimmy felt stitched up by ITV after the footage of Adam calling him a C-word during their row in South Africa wasn’t shown.
“He wanted everyone to see the shocking unedited version of the fight.
“Adam swore at him multiple times and most bystanders were shocked by his actions so Jimmy felt it was the last chance for viewers to see the full extent of his behaviour.
“He was hugely disappointed in Ant and Dec for appearing to take Adam’s side and feels like he has been made a scapegoat. “Jimmy isn’t an angry person but he will stand up for what’s right.
“He was also disappointed his show buddy Gemma sided with Adam despite not even being present during their row. He thinks it feels performative on her part.
“He is talking to lawyers and looking into his ITV contract to see what grounds there are to sue.”
A spokesman for ITV said: “We showed an accurate and fair representation of events.”
Haye and Bullard were kicked out of ITV2 after-show Unpacked for their live-final behaviour.
Our exclusive footage shows them exiting the studios with security and saying: “We’ve been kicked out. What’s that about? Genuinely.”
Speaking on a camera phone to someone, Haye says: “Jimmy, tell them what happened?”
Bullard says: “We got kicked out.” Asked why by a fan, Haye says: “For trying to tell the truth.”
In the car park they bumped into Ant and Dec. Ant offered to shake with Bullard and patted his arm, while Haye hugged Ant.
Bullard spoke to Dec for around two minutes on his own. A production source confirmed: “Some campmates were uncomfortable being on stage with David and Jimmy, so we sent them home during Unpacked.”
Yesterday Adam’s wife Caroline posted on Instagram: “What should have been a night of celebration for everyone, turned into a glimpse of a real life jungle, watching a pack of vultures attack.
“I have never ever seen anything like the vile display.. on what is supposed to be a loved family show full of laughter and fun. Not one bit of that was fun, or ‘banter’.
“As a wife my heart is breaking and I will forever be horrified at what I had to sit and watch my husband go through.”
Meanwhile, a source close to Ashley said: “She was upset about all the rowing, especially as she was sat among the angry men.
“She couldn’t hold back her tears, but managed to compose herself for the Unpacked show.”
Moments after Adam was crowned, when cameras on the main show stopped rolling, David was seen goading him saying: “You’re not a worthy winner.”
Adam cried: “This is bullying” and threw his flower crown on the floor.
He stormed off to his dressing room where he was joined by his brothers and wife.
The stars had been kept separate in their rooms in filming breaks.
An audience member Kay, of Sittingbourne, Kent, said: “We clearly heard Gemma say David was a ‘nasty b*****d’ as she walked off.
“David was smiling and enjoying all the misery he was putting Adam through.
“He was goading and bullying him on and off camera.”
Another audience member added: “We heard Gemma say they were an embarrassment to reality TV.”
Gemma said yesterday: “Disgusted with Jimmy and David’s behaviour, what an embarrassment.
“Last night was meant to be a celebration instead it was very upsetting!”
Audience member Karl Betts, of Kettering, Northants, said: “When they all sat together David shook hands with everyone except Adam.
“Later he was rubbing Adam’s shoulders, saying things. At one point colour drained from Adam’s face. God knows what David said.”
Dad-of-two Adam was seen leaving after failing to appear for his winner’s interview.
Last night he wrote: “I have realised that when people try to dim your light, it says more about them than it will about you. This experience has shown me strength in ways I never imagined.
“To everyone who supported me, who believed in me and showed me love, thank you, it means more than I can ever put into words.
“And to those who daunted me or tried to bring me down, I carry no negativity towards you.
“I have already won in the ways that matter most. I have love, I have happiness and I have stayed true to myself and that is something no one can ever take away from me.
