I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026South Africa star\u00a0Jimmy Bullard\u00a0is reportedly taking legal action against\u00a0ITV\u00a0following his stint in the jungle.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Fulham\u00a0footballer is said to have sought out a lawyer after he was informed by the broadcaster that his full fee for the show is contingent on his appearance at the finale.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The final episode of the all-stars spin-off is set to take place live in London this Friday and will allow ITV viewers to vote on the winner.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bullard left during Tuesday night\u2019s show, after a\u00a0sweary fallout from a double-act Bushtucker Trial\u00a0with\u00a0Adam Thomas.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the trial, Bullard said, \u2018I\u2019m a celebrity, get me out of here\u2019 and put himself and his partner Thomas up for the axe. Ultimately, it was only Bullard who went home, becoming the fourth to leave the camp in the South African national park.<\/p>\n

Bullard is now reportedly planning to take legal action if ITV do not pay him his full fee, according to a report in the\u00a0Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGOED<\/div>
ITV has reportedly told the former footballer he will not receive his full fee if he does not take part on Friday (Picture: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A source told the newspaper: \u2018None of this is Jimmy\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

\u2018It feels like ITV has taken Adam\u2019s side rather than Jimmy\u2019s. Maybe that\u2019s because they see a working future with him, who knows.<\/p>\n

\u2018But he was left completely baffled at Adam being allowed to carry on.\u2019<\/p>\n

It has been claimed that campmates are contractually obliged to attend the series finale, and that failing to do so would result in Bullard sacrificing 20 per cent of his pay.<\/p>\n

Negotiations between Bullard and ITV are said to have broken down after returning from South Africa, given that the show\u2019s episodes abroad were filmed last autumn.<\/p>\n

Bullard subsequently informed ITV he would not be appearing at the live finale in London.<\/p>\n

However, in a new post shared on Instagram, Bullard appeared to insinuate that he could make an appearance at the live final.<\/p>\n
