Harry Redknapp says Adam Thomas 'really lost his head' with Jimmy Bullard as he wades into explosive I'm A Celeb row and explains why he didn't get involved before

Harry Redknapp has waded into the explosive I'm A Celebrity row between Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas.

The former football manager, 79, remained tight-lipped on the clash between his campmates in the chaotic live final last week.

Jimmy accused Adam of being 'abusive, aggressive and intimidating' in the pre-recorded show last year after he allegedly called him the 'C-word'.

And now, in an interview with the Daily Mail, Harry revealed what he really thought on the ordeal as he reflected on the brawl in South Africa.

'That was a big and quite a bad argument', Harry said. 'Adam really sort of lost his head with Jimmy, which was a shame because they'd got on very well.'

Touching on the feud between Adam and David Haye, who has been accused of being a 'bully', Harry said Adam was 'often upset about everything'.

He said: 'David seemed to be giving Adam lots of stick, you know, for whatever reason, and Adam seemed to spend an awful lot of time getting very upset about everything.'

While Harry has since developed his opinion on the situation, he revealed he was unaware of most of the arguments that went on in camp because he didn't wear his hearing aids. 

'I really didn't even hear what was going on because I do have hearing aids', he said. 'I couldn't take them into the camp because there's nowhere to charge them up and they'd only last 48 hours maximum. 

'So yeah, I must be honest, a lot of the conversations that were going on across the camp, I honestly couldn't hear. 

'So I'm watching it now on TV. But at the time, I couldn't sit there and say that I was really into what they were talking about. So it was difficult.'

Harry also touched on why 'hunger' had a huge impact on the arguments in and out of camp. 

The former I'm A Celebrity winner continued: 'We had one or two arguments, I suppose. You'll always get that when you get people living together and getting a bit hungry and not getting food.

'They tend to happen I suppose, but it didn't happen with me. I didn't argue with anybody really.'

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

The Geordie duo 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.' 

Harry has partnered with iD Mobile to highlight the brand's inclusive Roaming available in 50 destinations worldwide - more than any other UK network. 

Speaking about the new partnership, Harry said: 'I've teamed up with iD Mobile – The whole idea is to tackle something that genuinely winds people up - coming home from a lovely holiday to find a massive phone bill waiting for you at the end.

'iD Mobile gives you inclusive Roaming in 50 countries worldwide – it means that when you come home, you don’t get them hefty bills, which is very important to people. 

'I've certainly gone away making or taking calls - and when you come home, you look at your phone bill, you go, oh my God, what have I done! It's cost more than the holiday! So yeah, you have to be very careful.'
