I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans have hit out at Harry Redknapp, with one person admitting they are “disappointed” with his behaviour.
The former football manager is one of many famous faces taking part in the ITV show. Along with the likes of Ashley Roberts and Scarlett Moffatt, Harry is battling it out to be crowned the I’m A Celebrity South Africa champion.
In Tuesday’s episode (April 21), though, things took a dramatic turn when campmate Jimmy Bullard sparked a heated argument with Adam Thomas during a Bushtucker trial.
The trial saw camp duos get cogs from an abacus and then hand them to their partners, who ran to put them on a box. The last pair to finish would be evicted.

Although Jimmy and Adam were supposed to be working together, Jimmy didn’t have it in him to complete the trial. He told his partner, “Sorry, Ad, so sorry. I’m a celebrity, get me out of here.” Adam replied: “Are you joking me, bro? Jim, c’mon, man.”
Adam was left fuming and upset over Jimmy pulling out, and the pair had a heated exchange of words, with Jimmy calling Adam “pathetic” and Adam dubbing Jimmy a “p***k”.
Nonetheless, later on, Ant and Dec revealed to the 2026 cast that they could decide whether Adam could stay, and that they would have to vote. Although the camp opted to save Adam, Harry Redknapp said, “I thought his behaviour was not great, but you know. I know he’s upset, but yeah.”
Harry didn’t seem impressed with Adam’s behaviour
Meanwhile, back in the camp, Harry revealed in the bush telegraph: “Adam didn’t get a fair crack of the whip. And I can understand being upset, but I think you’ve got to also keep you know,” before stopping himself.
He then said: “I think I’d have said to him [Jimmy] ‘Jimmy, what you done to us, mate?’ You know?” However, some viewers at home took issue with Harry’s treatment of Adam following the bust-up with Jimmy.
“How did Adam behave badly, Harry? He was well within his rights to be angry. To get chucked out like that,” said one person on X. Another added, “So disappointed in Harry.””
Fans have called out Harry online
A third chimed in: “Sinita and Harry showed their true colours in not defending Adam.” Someone else said: “I don’t think Adam overreacted at all! I don’t understand Craig and Harry saying this to be honest, especially considering all what hes been through.”
Echoing their thoughts, a fifth pointed out: “Mo and Harry never went to Adam to see if he’s okay, just stood there while all of the rest of the campmates went to him, and Jimmy was bang out of order what he put Adam through.”
A sixth also mused: “Adams right though, Jimmy is a p**** for that and so are Harry and Craig for saying he went over the top and for making him feel even worse, especially after all he’s been through with the other p**** David.”
Nonetheless, another viewer defended Harry and wrote: “To be fair to Harry though he is likely friends with Jimmy in real life so it was probably a harder decision for him. He did also admit that Jimmy’s behaviour was wrong in the same breath from what they showed.”
I’m A Celebrity South Africa airs Monday to Friday at 9pm on ITV1.
