Adam’s time in the jungle was nearly compromised by Jimmy who exclaimed “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” during a bushtucker trail where the pair were partnered together.

As a result, soap star Adam was meant to leave camp with the former footballer which led to an explosive row between the two.

The Waterloo Road favourite stormed over to Jimmy during a heated exchange and said: “Taking the f****** p*ss, are you taking the f****** p*ss?”

He added: “I’m in there getting covered in f****** ants”.

Jimmy responded by telling him to “calm down” and described his outburst as “pathetic”.

However, because Jimmy had not attempted the challenge, presenters Ant and Dec asked the campmates if they wanted to keep Adam in who unanimously voted for the actor to remain on the I’m a Celeb spin-off.

I’m a Celebrity South Africa fans rage at ‘despicable’ Jimmy Bullard

Now, fans have taken to social media in support of Adam who broke down in tears after finding out he was staying, and slammed Jimmy’s actions as “despicable” and “malicious”.

It comes as someone wrote on the subreddit r/ImACelebTV: “Honestly I’m watching this and Adams crashout is so valid.

“Jimmy is being such a pr**k I mean he could’ve at least ATTEMPTED the trial. ‘Not feeling it’ is not an excuse. Ands he’s being despicable to Adam – even *laughing” at him. Despicable.”

This person replied: “And didn’t Jimmy pick Adam? I was only half watching but I think that makes it worse that Adam now feels like Jimmy might have sabotaged him/ picked him while knowing he wanted to give up.”

One user put: “To pick Adam so quickly and then not even try is crazy. Like he wanted to take him down with him.”

A viewer chimed in: “It seems like he wanted to just get Adam out which seems shady. I like Jimmy aswell, this is out of order.”

Meanwhile, this account shared: “Seems malicious. He’s no genuine sympathy for what he’s taken from him.”

Also in agreement, one profile said: “Adam is valid, he was right, Jimmy could’ve left the morning before the trial. You could tell when Ant and Dec were talking about it Jimmy wasn’t interested and immediately picked Adam.”

However, after fellow campmate Harry Redknapp wasn’t left too impressed over Adam’s fiery reaction to almost being sent home, someone commented: “You can think Adam was understandably upset and still acknowledge he went way ott, it was a pathetic reaction and Harry is right.”

Another posted: “I think Adam was slightly over the top with his anger but at the same time I’d be p***ed off as well.”

One viewer who also thought Adam acted “over the top”, wrote: “Adam’s reaction was too overboard, he acted like a baby throwing his toys out of the pram.”

A fourth Reddit profile stated: “Overall, I’m absolutely team Adam, but that doesn’t mean I have to pretend like the level of his reaction was valid.”

Speaking about his decision to leave the camp in I’m a Celeb South Africa, Jimmy said: “What a kerfuffle.

“Letting Adam down’s a killer. He’s my boy. He’s just on a different journey to me.

“He wants to win it. He wants to do well and I get it.

“I’ve got my mum and dad at home as well. The old man ain’t too well.

“People think I’m a bit out there and I give it to people – it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re ready for them trials.”

He added: “I struggled so much. It’s got harder and harder.

“Unfortunately, my time was up in the game.”

The 49-year-old male from Wantage was reportedly arrested on charges of sexual communication with a child, sending indecent material and requesting indecent images.

The man was arrested on Sunday, April 19, in Wantage near to his home address.

The arrest has not been confirmed by Thames Valley Police which refused to comment on the case due to “safeguarding concerns”.

This happened in the same week as the sentencing of convicted paedophile Colin Robertson, of Begbroke, at Oxford Crown Court on Friday, April 17.

The 49-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting sexual communication with a child and one count of attempting to cause or incite a child to engage in sexual activity.

He was handed a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Thames Valley Police issued the warning following a rise in reports of anti-social behaviour at Franklin Playground on the new build Willowbrook Estate in Didcot.

Concerns have been raised about groups of youths playing music loudly after dark, smoking, drinking alcohol and causing a nuisance to those nearby.

PCSO Bethanie Saunders, from the Didcot and Wallingford neighbourhood team, urged residents experiencing anti-social behaviour to contact the police on 999.

Parents and guardians are also being encouraged to speak with their children who are out when it is dark.

She says speaking with them could deter them from behaving anti-socially or encourage them to remove themselves from groups of friends that are doing so.
