Adam Thomas was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity All Stars, according to multiple reports. The victory, however, has been overshadowed by controversy involving fellow contestants Jimmy Bullard and David Haye, who accused ITV of editing footage to portray Thomas more positively and cutting out angry scenes. The row between Thomas and Bullard allegedly included Thomas calling Bullard the 'C-word' during an explosive clash, though this has not been confirmed by ITV.
According to Daily Mail - Home, Sinitta described the row between Adam and Jimmy as going on for nearly an hour and said she felt ITV should have stepped in sooner. Security was on standby during the altercation, according to TV sources. The argument reportedly erupted during a Bushtucker Trial, with Thomas reacting angrily when Bullard withdrew from the trial, shouting and kicking the set. Bullard had said, according to www.sportbible.com, 'I don't think I've got it in me. I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.'

During the final, Gemma Collins and Sinitta walked off stage when Jimmy went around asking campmates about Adam's behavior, according to multiple reports. Host Ant McPartlin intervened, telling Bullard, 'Right, let's leave it there. We'll agree to disagree.' McPartlin was later seen being helped by a security guard after an off-screen potential clash with Bullard, according to multiple reports.
According to Daily Mail - Home, Scarlett Moffatt described campmates as having 'ruined' Adam's winning moment, fighting back tears on the show Unpacked. She also told www.ladbible.com that the camp was less harmonious than her first time due to non-consensual 'lad banter'. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Craig Charles described the show as full of laughter but said it got 'sidetracked by controversy'. He described Adam as 'so wound up, so aggressive, like a coiled spring' during the argument with Jimmy, and said ITV had to 'water down' what they saw but didn't water down their responses.

An ITV spokesperson said: 'We showed an accurate and fair representation of events.' This contradicts the accusations from Bullard and Haye that the editing was biased. The dispute over editing is central to the controversy: if ITV's editing was biased, it could have unfairly influenced public perception of the contestants and the show's integrity.
According to Daily Mirror - Main, David Haye described Adam Thomas as a 'professional victim' on Good Morning Britain. Haye is also reported to be the admin of a WhatsApp group titled 'I'm A Celeb Legends 2026' from which Mo Farah was excluded. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Adam Thomas described the experience as having 'broke' him and said he is now in therapy. He also told Daily Express - Showbiz that 'not everything was shown' and that he stands by his campmates' comments.

Harry Redknapp made a comment about Adam catching an egg in his mouth, which fans interpreted as a dig, according to multiple reports. Scarlett Moffatt hinted that Harry Redknapp and Mo Farah are in the final, according to reports. The Sun reported that Thomas and Bullard are not on speaking terms and that Bullard may not attend the final.
Several unknowns remain. What exactly was said and done during the row that was not shown on air is unclear. Whether ITV actually edited footage to favor Thomas, and to what extent, has not been independently verified. The current status of the relationship between Thomas and Bullard after the show is also uncertain, and it is not known if there will be any official investigation or further statements from ITV regarding the editing accusations.
