I'm A Celebrity show bosses probably hoped things would start to calm down between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard after their feud, but the winner has issued a brutal dig.
Waterloo Road star Thomas was crowned king of the jungle in an explosive live final on Friday (April 24) after viewers were left stunned by their row onscreen.
The war of words between the actor and the ex-Premier League footballer went up a notch on the show, as Bullard kept repeating a four-word phrase many are alleging means he's considering taking legal action.
In case you missed it, ex-Wigan and Hull player Bullard ruffled feathers when he called time on a challenge in the jungle, when he had been paired up with Thomas, and his decision to quit would have sent the actor home too.

The Salford-born actor kicked off at the footballer, furious at his decision to quit during a challenge rather than just deciding to walk out while in the camp.
During the live final, Bullard made shocking allegations about an exchange which wasn't aired, with him accusing Thomas of dropping 'C-bombs' at him, which hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly said were 'unbroadcastable'.
Following his claims that Thomas was 'abusive, aggressive, and intimidating', the actor has hit back with another dig.
Posting on Instagram, the star shared a sweet family post about his son, but appeared to make a reference to the conflict on the show.
He wrote: "My boy came home this weekend with four trophies from his dance comps!!
"But honestly, it wasn’t even about the trophies… it was his face. Just pure happiness, proper proud of himself. That’s what winning should feel like, super proud of the boy."
He then appeared to have a dig about the I'm A Celeb feud: "One thing I’ve learnt though is as you get older you start to realise, it’s not about trophies or crowns, none of that really matters. I already won a long time ago. Everything I need is right here."
During Friday's live final, Sinitta stood up and appeared to side with Bullard, saying “Enough, enough, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive.”
However, according to The Mirror she has since apparently backtracked and has accused Bullard and David Hayes of 'bullying' behaviour.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the star confessed:m "I know that David got loud on Friday night, he wanted to make his point, he’s trying to defend himself. Actually, ironically, it came across as bullying because he was trying to get his words in."
“It actually felt like bullying to me - it does look like you’re bullies because you’re goading.”
