Speaking about his 'banter' with Jake Quickenden, the former footballer insisted that the footage had been edited to make him look like a bully.
READ: WHY IS BULLYING SOMEONE FOR BEING BEAUTIFUL SEEN AS ACCEPTABLE?
Speaking with the MailOnline, Jimmy Bullard 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."
When asked why he thinks he was evicted first, 36-year-old Bullard admitted: "I haven't got a clue why I've gone, I've seen some clips and have seen how different it can show you.
"When you are in there 24/7 it's so different and it's something you can't effect. Obviously I wasn't voted for enough."
He added: "I can see how it can come across as harsh for the punters to watch – but in our little bubble it was just banter."
Despite this, however, Jimmy said that he still loved being a part of the show.
He said: "I loved everything about it. In a way, it's lovely to be out. I was loving it in there and I wanted to stay a little longer, but I'm out and that's it."
Do you think Jimmy was a bully? Or was it just "banter"?
