Gemma Collins and Sinitta both stormed off stage during the I’m a Celeb finale.
Drama unfolded moments before actor Adam Thomas was crowned the winner of the show, beating Mo Farah to the title. Singer and actress Sinitta, 62, appeared to take issue at something Jimmy Bullard had said about his own spat with Thomas which happened earlier in the series.
Addressing the audience, Sinitta said: “You guys weren’t there, you don’t know what happened.” She then stormed off stage, and was soon followed by TV personality Gemma.
Jimmy, the former professional footballer, had accused Thomas of being “abusive, aggressive and intimidating”. Adam came face to face with Jimmy and David Haye again for the first time since their bitter camp fallouts in South Africa.
And it was ex boxer David that made the first move, calling out the star when he was chatting to Ant and Dec. This season has been full of twists, trials, tension and tears and now I’m A Celebrity South Africa has reached its end.
When he was announced the winner, Adam said: “Thank you guys, thank you so much. I love ya.” Before he did his final trial in South Africa, Adam, 37, admitted there had been “a lot of drama” in camp. And there was a lot of drama in the final too, as hosts Ant and Dec struggled to stay on top of things.
Adam reflected on it and said he had apologised to Jimmy several times. Looking serious he said: “Listen I take full responsibility for my actions. Yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment. But, you know, I have got nothing but love for Jimmy.”
When David Haye tried to interrupt him Adam also said “will you just let the finalists speak”. Adam then said: “I take everything he said into account. That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never showed myself off in that light before that or after that. And I am sorry Jimmy.”
Adam was given a final eating trial in South Africa called Swallow the Odds, and looking ahead to the prospect of winning said: “I am gonna be a legend baby” He then proceeded to smash the trial, eating five courses with the likes of five pig teats, two century fermented eggs, tarantula and fermented tofu.
He even cheered himself on, saying “come on Adam, ” in between mouthfuls. After watching Gemma said: “You done so well, you amazing.”
But he also had to cope with a backlash from other contestants, as David Haye interrupted the show at this point and said: “Do you think you deserve to win it after calling Jimmy the C-word a couple of times?”

An Emmerdale villain is reportedly heading back to the ITV soap after 20 years.
Later this year, it’s been reported that TV star Patsy Kensit will be reprising her role as fan favourite Sadie King. The character debuted on the show back in 2004 as part of the King family.
The former wife of Jimmy King, who is still in the village with his new wife Nicola King, Sadie turned against the family when she teamed up with Cain Dingle to target them.
Cain ended double-crossing his former flame and her plan backfired, sparking her exit from the show in 2006. According to reports though she will soon be back, with “explosive” scenes on the way.
According to a publication, the top secret signing was planned to shock fans. Of course there will be a little less “shock” now that the apparent signing has been leaked.
Emmerdale have yet to confirm if the news is true, while the Mirror has contacted ITV for comment. A source is said to have told The Sun: “This signing has been kept a top secret as bosses want Patsy’s return to shock fans.
“She is apparently delighted to be get her teeth back into the meaty role. Scriptwriters want to keep the show going with explosive plots and divisive characters.”
Fans began sharing the possible news online, not expecting it while several viewers have been calling for the twist for some time. One fan said: “SADIE KING IS COMIMG BACK? OH MY GOODNESS!”
Another posted: “Sadie King potentially making a return, ok I am sat for that!” A third fan added: “SADIE IS BACK,” while another simply said: “Sadie king is returning to Emmerdale.”
It comes amid another villain trying to kill a soap legend. Graham Foster was exposed for poisoning Kim Tate in a recent episode, tampering with her pain medication.
Kim collapsed and was rushed to hospital, where it was assumed she had accidentally taken too many of her tablets. But fans soon learned the shocking truth.
Graham was shown swapping her medicine bottles over, before explaining he’d swapped out her usual pills for a double dose of her medication. He suggested the plan was to kill Kim but it did not work, so now he was figuring out another way to get rid of “the pain in his neck”.
GIRLBANDS have long been as famous for their feuds as their roster of hits or attention-grabbing outfits.

Nicole,Ashley RobertsandKimberly Wyatt announced last week they were bringing the iconic band back as a trio, but notably absent were the other original members Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Carmit Bachar.
Heidi, who went on to join the Sugababes, was picked for the original line-up in the 1990s after Kerry held auditions.
“Heidi and Liz didn’t get on,” she told The Jay Hutton Show. “I think one of them slapped the other one. And then she went solo.”
Kerry herself quit Atomic Kitten in 2001 after a series of rows with Liz.
“I remember some of the fights we had in Atomic Kitten back in the day. Once, Liz punched me from behind after we had a little row. I was furious and got my own back,” she said.

Danity Kane was active sporadically from 2005 to 2020 and had been signed toP Diddy‘s [Sean Combs] record label after forming on MTV’s Making the Band.
The group was made up of Aubrey O’Day, Dawn Richard, Shannon Bex,Aundrea Fimbres, andD. Woods.
In 2008, Combs kicked Aubrey and D.Woods out of the group, which they claimed was retaliation for refusing his alleged sexual advances.
The group reformed as a trio in 2013 with Aubrey, Shannon and Dawn. They disbanded the following year after a physical altercation when Dawn allegedly punched Aubrey in the head during a studio session.
Dawn filed a lawsuit against Combs in 2024 for alleged sexual assault and inhumane treatment. She also testified against Combs in his New York criminal trial last year claiming she had witnessed him abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura on multiple occasions.
Also last year, Aubrey revealed for the first timein the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning that she was allegedly drugged and molested by Combs.
Sugababes

The superstar girl group became infamous for its never-ending lineup changes.
Eight years after Heidi joined the Sugababes in 2001, backstage rows led to Keisha Buchanan, the only original member left in the line-up, getting the boot.
Heidi revealed the atmosphere between her, Keisha and Amelle Berrabah had been bad for months and the band “couldn’t work together anymore”.
She was replaced by former Eurovision hopeful Jade Ewen, then 21.
Keisha hit out at her former bandmates saying she found it hard to harmonise with them after the departure of original members Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghey, and that the Sugababes had become about “being sexy” rather than creative.
The original trio reformed the group in 2023 and delivered an electric set on the legends stage at Glastonbury that year.
Girls Aloud

After releasing several smash hits, Girls Aloud took their first break back in 2009 and reformed in 2012 only to split again a year later.
Things then went sour when Nadine Coyle publicly distanced herself from the break-up when she wrote on Twitter at the time, “You should know by now I had no part in any of this split business. I couldn’t stop them. I had the best time and want to keep going.”
Cheryl quickly slammed her claims, saying Nadine was “full of s***” and had asked for a break in 2009 which led to the band’s demise.
The two women became close again following the tragic death of memberSarah Harding, who lost her fight against breast cancer in 2021.
They reunited in 2024 in memory of Sarah for a 30-show tour, which was the biggest UK arena tour of that year and earned them £850,000 each.
Spice Girls

The Spice Girlsare probably one of the most famous girl groups of all time, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Wannabe pop stars.
When Geri left the band in the lurch, at the height of their success in 1998, it was the beginning of the end.
The remaining four members called it quits two years later – and put the blame squarely on the shoulders of their former bandmate.
In a 2014 interview, Mel B claimed Geri gave them no warning before ditching them.
“When Geri left the group, it was so bad,” Mel said. “She left on my birthday and didn’t tell anybody. She just didn’t show up.”
As well as spats with Geri, Mel said the rest of the Spice Girls “fought like cats and dogs” and then made up.

The trio of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was the biggest-selling girlband of the Nineties, now second only to the Spice Girls in the UK.
The history of the band, whose biggest hits were Waterfalls, Creep, No Scrubs and Unpretty, includes bankruptcy, lawsuits, illness and death.
A three-piece group until the tragic death of Left Eye in 2002 in a car crash in Honduras, T-Boz and Chilli returned to touring after 15 years in 2015 as a duo and remain a group to this day.
But Chilli was never meant to be in the group originally but replaced founding member, Crystal Jones, who was booted from the group over contractual issues and their desire to replace her.

Dawn Robinson was one of the founding members of the group – and wasn’t present on tour with En Vogue when they reunited last year and played at Glastonbury.
She stayed with the band until En Vogue’s 1997 disbandment and in 2025 revealed that 28 years on she washomeless and living in a car.
But there was plenty of other drama for the band after they broke up.

In 2012, group members Cindy Herron and Terry Ellis sued former members Maxine Jones and Dawn Robinson for the En Vogue name.
Cindy and Terry also sued Maxine and Dawn for $1 million in damages after the group split, claiming that the two women continued to tour under the name En Vogue.
They won a judgement allowing only Cindy and Terry to use the band name, but failed to receive the damages they wanted to obtain.
After decades of legal woes, both sides agreed to settle out of court.
Fifth Harmony

Fifth Harmony rose to fame on the US version of The X Factor in 2012 and were on track to be one of the biggest girl groups of all time.
But things went off the rails when old social media posts by band member Camila Cabellosurfaced and featured racist slurs and derogatory memes.
Even though she apologised for her posts, Normani, the only black member of the group, later addressed the racism she experienced from Camila’s fans, and how she didn’t feel supported by her bandmates.
In 2016, Fifth Harmony announced in a statement that Camila had informed them through her “representatives” that she’d left the group, which Camila disputed.
But the dispute led to a dramatic performance at the 2017 VMAs when Fifth Harmony hit the stage without Camila.
A fifth silhouette appeared beside them, but was then violently yanked away as a clear message they were moving on without her.
The beef continued after Fifth Harmony’s dissolution when in July 2021, when Camila chose the day that Normani released her hotly awaited single, Wild Side, to announce her own new track.
