The former footballer 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].

Jimmy admitted he 'threw Adam under the bus' when he quit a trial that sparked the explosive clash that left viewers at home in shock

The caption read: 'And that’s a wrap on I’m A Celebrity... South Africa! What a series! 

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.'

David, who has been accused of 'bullying' Adam during the show, disagreed with Ant and backed the former footballer as he demanded answers as to why Adam was hurling obscenities at Jimmy.

Adam hit back at David, telling him to 'let the finalists speak', which received cheers from the crowd in the live audience.

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. 

During the live finale hosts Ant and Declan struggled to control the situation as Gemma Collins and Sinitta stormed off stage in fury

'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 their side. But I think it is time for the truth.' 

Storming off stage, Sinitta yelled at the audience: 'Guys, you weren't there, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.'

Gemma, who is a close friend of Adam, then followed as she also left the stage.

Jimmy shouted in the background: 'You can't be aggressive, abusive and intimating, it doesn't matter if Adam said sorry. 

'I will not take you [Ant] saying it wasn't aggressive, abusive and intimating, you can't say that. Show it, let everyone watch it, let's play it now!'

Ant and Dec wrapped up: 'Right, let's leave it there. We'll agree to disagree Jim.'

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?'

'Yeah 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 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.
