Ant and Dec break silence on aftermath of explosive I’m A Celeb final - including brutal comment star made to them

Ant and Dec have revealed what actually happened with Jimmy Bullard and David Haye after the dramatic I'm A Celeb final.

For those who didn't tune in, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa saw iconic previous contestants brought back for an All Stars show, such as Gemma Collins, Sinitta, and Sir Mo Farah.

However, the series was far from smooth as David Haye was accused of bullying Waterloo Road actor Adam Thomas.

Then, things took an even more of a turn when Jimmy called time on a challenge in the South African jungle, when he had been paired up with Adam, with his decision to quit meaning his partner would have been sent home too.

Although Adam was eventually allowed to stay, it was followed by a big row, in which the actor kicked off at the former footballer.

This turned into a big point of conversation that divided the campmates and was brought up during the live final, when the winner was crowned on Friday (24 April), eight months after the TV series was filmed.

Surprisingly, even Ant and Dec got involved, and it was a bit of a struggle to control the show when everyone started arguing with each other.

The chaotic TV moment saw Sinitta and Gemma Collins walk off the stage while Jimmy and David rowed with Adam throughout the episode.

Ant made his thoughts clear and publicly disagreed with Jimmy when he asked him to confirm that Adam was aggressive on the show.

Pictures later emerged of the cast leaving after the explosive finale, with one picture showing Ant walking past Jimmy with his security, in what seemed to be a tense moment.

And now, the Geordie duo have opened up on all of it, sharing exactly what went down that the cameras didn't see.

Speaking on their Hanging Out podcast on their YouTube channel Belta Box, Dec joked: "We had a show on Friday night..."

To which Ant chimed in with: "If you didn't see it on Friday, I bet you read about it!

"The first question was to Jimmy about why did you call I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on the night. I said I disagreed with it."

Dec explained: "He had a bit of a bee in his bonnet and he wanted to get that off his chest. We'd heard that Gemma and Adam had left the WhatsApp group."

He confirmed that he and Ant left the studio separately, and recalled: "I saw David Haye on the way out, he said, 'what about that then? Hope you get some good ratings for that one.'"

Ant added: "He doesn't care, that's David. That's what he does, he's a boxer, that's his stock in trade, you know."

Talking about his own after-show experience, Ant laughed: "There's two people in the car park, David Haye and Jimmy Bullard, and I thought 'Oh God, how's your luck?'

"I went over to David Haye, and he was like, 'How brilliant was that? Wasn't that great?'"

"And I was like, 'Well, it was certainly talk about TV. I wouldn't call it great', but anyway, we had a laugh, and we were cool."

The TV host continued: "And then I walked off and seen Jimmy Bullard, and I just shook his hand, and I was like, 'Look after yourself', and he was like, 'Yeah, cheers'.

"So there was no confrontation. He wasn't shouting at me, I wasn't shouting at him."

So, there you have it, not quite as dramatic as expected.
