It's been four days since I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! producers aired their fieriest finale yet, and fans are still reeling.
The on-screen chaos has since been further fuelled by behind-the-scenes tea that Gemma Collins just spilt about David Haye and Jimmy Bullard's feud with series winner Adam Thomas.
The finale aired on Saturday (26 Apr), seven months after the main bulk of the reality series was filmed in South Africa.
During the live show, ex-footballer Jimmy accused Adam of being 'abusive' and 'intimidating' while filming. The allegations referenced a spat the pair had on the show, which stemmed from Jimmy quitting a trial midway through, which put Waterloo Road actor Adam at risk of elimination.

According to the former sportsman, Adam shouted 'C-bombs' at him in an exchange that I'm A Celeb presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confessed during the finale was 'unbroadcastable'.
Also appearing at the live show, boxer David Haye was vocal in his criticism of Adam, with whom he butted-heads with numerous times during the series.
On several occasions, Ant and Dec stepped in to shut down the former heavyweight champion, reminding him that he hadn't even been present when Jimmy and Adam came to blows.
Eventually, the hosts were forced to remove David and Jimmy from the finale.
New BTS footage from the live finale has since emerged, showing The Only Way is Essex alum Gemma Collins calling out David for siding with Jimmy so explicitly, despite the public largely siding with Adam, who they voted to win the series.
In the clip, Gemma is seen getting ready to take to the stage, before turning to the camera and telling viewers: "I'm a bit concerned - and that's why I've brought him. I don't wanna be across anything, but I've heard that Jimmy's gonna kick off tonight.
"I'm being honest - but what they've all got to remember is we had a brilliant time."
She added: "Where has all this beef come from? Someone's going to be a winner and tomorrow. Lives move on. I just feel like it's ruining it all."
Also chatting to the camera, Gemma branded David a 'villain', adding that his confrontational persona is 'all pantomime'.
Hearing the remark, David argues back, 'It's the real thing'.
In another segment of the viral video, Jimmy walks through a corridor being occupied by Gemma, with neither contestant acknowledging the other.
Gemma later branded the behaviour exhibited by Jimmy and David on the show 'disgusting'.
Following Adam's victory, she went on to tweet: "THE WINNER @adamthomas21. What a show up !!!
"Absolutely disgusted with jimmy and David’s behaviour the biggest show up in tv history !!! What an EMBARRASSMENT !
"To all the took part in the show it was a discredit to the production crew cast Ant and Dec biggest disrespect ever !!!"
Gemma added: "Last night was meant to be a celebration instead it was very upsetting !! X Let’s hope Adam will find some energy to absorb his victory!"
