I’m A Celeb fans praised former rivals Gemma Collins and Sinitta for storming off the stage leaving their campmates to argue during Friday’s chaotic live final.

The TOWIE star, 45, and 80s singer, 62, removed themselves from the fray as Jimmy Bullard accused eventual winner Adam Thomas of being ‘abusive, aggressive and intimidating’ during an expletive row during the pre-recorded show last year.

As hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly struggled to control the celebs while raking over the jungle confrontation, Sinitta got up from her seat and made a swift exit followed by Gemma.

The Toy Boy hitmaker seemingly threw her support behind Bullard as she told the audience: ‘Guys, you weren’t there, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.’

Fans took to X to praise the pair for ‘acting correctly’ in the tense situation and even claimed the duo had ‘gone up in their estimations’ as they left the stage.

They penned: ‘Never been a Gemma Collins fan, but she has changed my opinion’ ‘For Sinitta to say something negative about someone says it all’: ‘Also I’ve gotta give Gemma Collins a shout out here, not a fan but she’s gone up in my estimation 4 sticking up 4 Adam’.

The two stars were locked in a feud throughout their time in the jungle last year and the show’s transmission.

Gemma is said to have accused Sinitta of being a ‘rat’ in the I’m A Celebrity All Stars’ WhatsApp group and leaking stories about her, according to reports.

Their feud appeared to have begin in camp when the singer said she had thought the reality star taking on the role of Mama Morton in musical Chicago was a ‘joke’.

Since then a source also told The Sun: ‘There’s still no love lost between the women.

‘Gemma hasn’t spoken publicly about the feud and kept her silence – but following every single cast member online bar Sinitta is a clear statement from the GC.

‘It’s got everybody talking.’

This year’s All Stars series has been plagued with bullying rows and controversial spats between feuding cast mates – Adam, Jimmy and David Haye.

 During the final, Ant and Dec gave Jimmy the opportunity to speak after Adam allegedly called him the ‘C-word’ in an explosive clash when he pulled the plug on the show early last year.

Jimmy admitted he had to leave for personal reasons and that if he didn’t say ‘I’m A Celebrity’ in the challenge, he would not have received his full pay.

‘Listen, Adam and all of you can be upset with me and I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it and I’ll wear that’, Jimmy said. ‘But what I don’t stand on, is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating, I don’t stand on that.’

Welcoming Ant and Dec to share their opinion on the matter, Jimmy said: ‘You [pointing to the hosts] were there and you didn’t show any of that [footage].’

 ‘You didn’t show any of the C-bombs, it’s a liberty’, Jimmy fumed.

Ant argued: ‘The reason we didn’t air the C-bomb is because that is unbroadcastable. I was there and I didn’t think it was intimidating. I was there Jim.’

During Adam’s opportunity to speak, he said: ‘I take full responsibility for my actions and yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment.

‘I have nothing but love for Jimmy in that moment. I have apologised to Jimmy on numerous occasions and I do take everything that he is saying into account and the only thing I can do is apologise.

‘That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never shown myself off like that before or after that. I do apologise Jimmy.’

‘Funny way of showing it’, David interjected before Ant and Dec furiously told him to stop interrupting.

David continued: ‘I like to say how I see it, I like to keep it real and what I have seen is a lot of editing to make this poor guy [pointing to Adam] the victim so the people will support him.

‘We all had banter back and forth, a lot of it was cut out from there side. But I think it is time for the truth.’

After airing Adam’s final eating trial in Friday night’s show, which fans branded ‘horrendous’, Gemma Collins urged: ‘He will forever be my hero, Adam. He so deserves to win!’

Looking visibly unhappy with the praise Adam was receiving, David interrupted hosts Ant and Dec to ask: ‘Do you think he deserves to win this after calling Jimmy the C-word a couple of times?’

‘Yeh after that challenge I do think I deserve to win’, Adam proudly replied.

‘Don’t you think you should ask Jimmy whether he thinks he deserves to win?’, David added. ‘Because there was a lot of that stuff cut out of it.’

As Ant and Dec tried to control the situation, Dec urged: ‘We will come to this, we are going to ask Jimmy later and we will speak to you as well.’

‘There was a lot of stuff that was said that was unbroadcastable [sic]’, Ant confirmed.
