Harry Redknapp has weighed in on the drama on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, insisting it stemmed from ‘banter’.
The iconic football manager was a contestant in a heated all-star edition of the ITV show, which saw tempers flare after a spat between ex-Premier League star Jimmy Bullard and actor Adam Thomas.
It all began when the pair clashed after Bullard put Thomas’ place on the show in jeopardy by quitting a Bushtucker Trial.
This sparked a furious reaction from the Emmerdale star, who angrily confronted his campmate and was accused of calling Bullard a ‘c***’.
There was more drama in store in an explosive live final of the show last Friday, as Redknapp and his fellow contestants came together for the first time since the series was filmed eight months ago.
In the finale, Bullard and another campmate – former world boxing champion David Haye – clashed with hosts Ant and Dec.
Bullard was left furious after watching back the edit of his argument with Thomas, who he accused of being ‘aggressive and abusive’ before claiming ITV didn’t show the actor directing the C-word multiple times at him.
Hosts Ant and Dec raised their voices to control the row – which also saw singer Sinitta and TV personality Gemma Collins walk off set – before Thomas was crowned King of the Jungle.
With a live audience watching the drama unfold, fans could be heard booing at various points as the final descended into chaos.
‘Never seen so much aggravation’
Fresh from a blockbuster I’m a Celebrity finale, Redknapp joined Monday’s talkSPORT Breakfast, where he was asked about the scenes that kept viewers glued to their seats.
And it’s fair to say the ex-Tottenham and West Ham boss was relived to see the end of it, who joked: “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 are shouting, it was a nightmare.”
Redknapp’s comments left hosts Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend in stiches, as he continued to joke about the show’s dramatic ending.
He added: “I thought: ‘I’m not a celebrity, get me out of here’, that’s what I was going to say!
“He was in good form – David Haye.”
Redknapp: Contestants couldn’t handle the banter
As for the heated moments that left camp divided and kept fans hooked, Redknapp insisted it was nothing he hadn’t seen before.
The popular ex-Premier League boss claimed it wasn’t a patch on the ‘banter’ he has witnessed in over 50 years in football.
He told McCoist and Townsend: “Listen, we’ve been bought up in dressing rooms. You’ve been around football, you two guys, 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.”
