Ant McPartlin, known for his role in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!, has advised fans to focus on the lighter moments from the show’s tumultuous South Africa season rather than the post-finale controversy. During a podcast conversation with co-host Declan Donnelly, the presenter discussed the dramatic conclusion of the ITV All Stars series.

Reflecting on the chaotic final episode where three celebrities engaged in a physical altercation and two stars exited the show during filming, Ant suggested that viewers remember a peculiar moment that he believed encapsulated the season’s essence.

Ant expressed disappointment that the crowning moment of I’m A Celebrity South Africa was not more celebratory, highlighting Craig Charles bathing in a washing-up bowl as a standout memory from the season.

Following the highly talked-about finale, where over 1000 viewers reported it to Ofcom, Adam Thomas emerged as the King of the Jungle. However, his victory celebrations were overshadowed by a heated confrontation with fellow campmates, including a tense exchange with former footballer Jimmy Bullard.

Former boxing champion David Haye also clashed with Adam during the series, leading to a dramatic outburst when Adam was declared the winner. The tension escalated to the point where Gemma Collins and Sinitta walked out during the live recording of the finale.

In a preview of their podcast episode, Ant and Dec humorously discussed the surprising turn of events during the finale. Dec mentioned that Gemma Collins and Adam Thomas had exited the group’s WhatsApp chat post-controversy.

Since leaving the jungle, Adam has opened up about the emotional toll of his I’m A Celebrity experience. He described feeling drained and revealed that winning the show did not bring him the joy he had anticipated, expressing regret and stating that he would not repeat the experience for any amount of money.

The hosts also teased that they would delve into the details of the dramatic evening in their upcoming podcast episode.
