Ex-Hull star Bullard: I'm no 'Celebrity' bully!

Former Hull City and Wigan Athletic star Jimmy Bullard has slammed ITV over the way he was portrayed on 'I'm a Celebrity'.

Bullard was the first voted off the show.

Speaking about the "banter" with fellow contestant Jake Quickenden after Bullard's exit from the jungle, the former Wigan midfielder said: "I've seen that [footage] back and it was totally tongue in cheek. The way that came across on TV was totally not how it came across in camp.

"The best person to answer that is Jake. We're great friends and we're going to be for a long time. It was total banter."

He added: "Let me tell you, he gave as good as he took. Saying that, I can be a bit of a nightmare."
