I’m A Celebrity South Africa delivered one of its most explosive moments yet tonight (April 20), as Adam Thomas came dangerously close to leaving the show after a fiery clash with Jimmy Bullard.
The drama unfolded during a Bushtucker Trial called Rancid Run, where campmates were paired up and told that whoever earned the fewest stars would be at risk of going home.

Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard clash in tense trial
As the task got underway, Jimmy appeared to lose his nerve and refused to continue — leaving Adam to face the trial alone.
“Boys, I don’t think I’ve got it in me,” Jimmy admitted to Ant and Dec, before adding: “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”.
Furious, Adam stormed over and confronted him: “Are you taking the [bleep]? Are you taking the [bleep]?”
Jimmy attempted to calm the situation, but Adam, clearly overwhelmed, hit back: “I’m in there getting covered in [bleeping] ants!”
As tensions escalated, Jimmy urged him to settle down, saying: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down,” before adding: “That’s pathetic.”
The trial was abruptly halted, leaving the rest of the camp confused about what had just happened.
Shortly after, the row continued as Adam challenged Jimmy over quitting. Jimmy explained he wanted to go home, but Adam made it clear he didn’t agree with how it played out.
“Go home in camp then! Don’t do it on my [bleep]ing watch!” Adam snapped, adding: “Don’t do the show then, bro! Don’t do the show!”
The emotional fallout left Adam in tears, with Scarlett Moffatt stepping in to comfort him.
“Go out with grace because you’re a strong man,” she told him.
Soon after, Ant and Dec gathered the group to explain the situation. With Jimmy already gone, the remaining campmates were given the power to decide whether Adam should stay.
In a unanimous decision, they chose to keep him in the competition.
Visibly emotional, Adam thanked them and apologised for how he reacted.
“I appreciate that, guys. Thank you,” he said.
