She went on describe the fall out on stage as ‘something from Jerry Springer’ which left Ashley Roberts and Scarlett Moffatt in tears during the commercial break.
The fan said: ‘What you didn’t see was that after the first time David was heckling Adam, during the ad break David went over to all the final four on the sofa and to say “Hi” and Adam just point blank refused [to shake his hand] and was like: “No I’m not having this.”‘
She said that while Jimmy spoke about his contract details and reasons for quitting camp, David would not be quiet which led to the audience booing him.

Adam allegedly ripped up his crown and threw it to the ground after David ‘goaded him’ in unseen footage from the I’m A Celeb final.
The soap star, who was voted the winner, had the opportunity to speak to Jimmy, after allegedly calling him the ‘C-word’ in an explosive clash when the former footballer called ‘I’m a Celebrity’ in one of the trials, which left Adam in danger of going home.
Now it has been claimed that in unseen footage from the night, Adam ‘ripped his crown off his head and threw it to the ground’.
The move allegedly came after David ‘goaded Adam’, according to The Sun, with the boxer reportedly telling the Emmerdale actor: ‘You’re not a worthy winner.’
In response, Adam reportedly said: ‘This is bullying.’
Elsewhere the publication claimed Gemma, a close friend of Adam, called David ‘a nasty b*d’ and said the boxer and Jimmy were ‘an embarrassment to reality TV’.
The Daily Mail has contacted ITV and representatives for Adam, David and Gemma for comment.

The claims come as Adam’s wife Caroline shared a cryptic post on Instagram where she referred to ‘one hell of a night last night’.
Sharing an array of snaps from their trip to London, Caroline wrote: ‘Chapter 36 didn’t quite start the way I’d hoped, 4 trains, and a 2 1/2 hour taxi to get to London, and one hell of a night last night but here we are – onwards and upwards.
‘Very thankful for two nights in one of my favourite hotels with my love oh and lots of room service and Tea.’
Viewers watched as TOWIE alum Gemma followed Sinitta in leaving the set as Jimmy accused Adam of being ‘abusive, aggressive and intimidating’ during an expletive row during the pre-recorded show last year.
The Toy Boy hitmaker seemingly threw her support behind Jimmy as she told the audience: ‘Guys, you weren’t there, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.’
Jimmy admitted he had to leave for personal reasons and that if he didn’t say ‘I’m a Celebrity’ in the challenge, he would not have received his full pay.
‘Listen, Adam and all of you can be upset with me and I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it and I’ll wear that,’ Jimmy said. ‘But what I don’t stand on, is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating, I don’t stand on that.’
Welcoming Ant and Dec to share their opinion on the matter, Jimmy said: ‘You [pointing to the hosts] were there and you didn’t show any of that [footage].
‘You didn’t show any of the C-bombs, it’s a liberty.’
Ant argued: ‘The reason we didn’t air the C-bomb is because that is unbroadcastable. I was there and I didn’t think it was intimidating. I was there Jim.’
During Adam’s opportunity to speak, he said: ‘I take full responsibility for my actions and yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment.
‘I have nothing but love for Jimmy in that moment. I have apologised to Jimmy on numerous occasions and I do take everything that he is saying into account and the only thing I can do is apologise.
‘That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never shown myself off like that before or after that. I do apologise Jimmy.’
‘Funny way of showing it’, David interjected before Ant and Dec furiously told him to stop interrupting.
David continued: ‘I like to say how I see it, I like to keep it real and what I have seen is a lot of editing to make this poor guy [pointing to Adam] the victim so the people will support him.
‘We all had banter back and forth, a lot of it was cut out from their side. But I think it is time for the truth.’
