Harry Redknapp has branded the explosive I'm A Celebrity...South Africa live final "a nightmare".
I'm A Celebrity...South Africa 2026 star Harry Redknapp
All the cast of the ITV spin-off show to I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! had an almighty bust-up as ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard accused actor Adam Thomas of being "abusive, aggressive and intimidating" when the former quit a trial.
The ex-Wigan Athletic midfielder refused to take on a trial, which initially forced him and Adam packing before their fellow campmates agreed that the Waterloo Road alum should stay.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly step in, with Ant disagreeing with Jimmy's version of events when he quit the trial.
Singer Sinitta and The Only Way Is Essex icon Gemma Collins also stormed off the stage as the row played out.
Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp shared his thoughts on the final before he backed ex-boxer David Haye, who feuded with Adam in the pre-recorded series, which was filmed in 2025, before it reignited on Friday night (24.04.26).
Harry appeared on talkSPORT on Monday (27.04.26) with hosts Andy Townshend and Ally McCoist.
Ally asked the I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star: "Harry, I’ve got to ask you, mate, if there wasn’t enough drama with York City, top of the premiership, top of the championships, bottom of the top flight, it’s all been happening.
“I’ll bet you are delighted that I’m A Celebrity is all over. You’ve got to be thrilled at that.”
Harry replied: "I thought I’d gone to the wrong show. I thought it was The Jeremy Kyle Show. I’ve never seen so much aggravation. I thought I’m in the wrong studio here. All the crowd is shouting and things.
"Oh, it was a nightmare. I thought, you know, I’m not a celebrity… get me out of here. That’s what I was going to say.
"David was, you know, he was in good form, David Haye.
"But listen, Andy, we’ve been brought up in dressing rooms. You’ve been around football, you two guys, Andy, you know, all your life. Banter.
"This wasn’t strong banter compared to what you’ve had in dressing rooms over the years. You just get on with it, don’t you?
"It all got out of hand. You know, people couldn’t take a bit of banter, and it became a big issue."
Ant and Dec ultimately crowned Adam the I'm A Celebrity...Legend after coming out on top against Red Dwarf's Craig Charles, Harry, and former Olympic long-distance runner, Sir Mo Farah.
