Pascal Chimbonda claims Jimmy Bullard ‘pleasured himself’ when they were team-mates at Wigan
Former Tottenham and Sunderland full-back makes shock allegation about I'm A Celebrity star on French TV show
JIMMY BULLARD has been accused of playing keepy-uppy with his privates in front of team-mates by Pascal Chimbonda.
The pair starred together for one Premier League season at Wigan in 2005-06.
And former Tottenham and Sunderland full-back Chimbonda alleged on French TV that Bullard's antics away from the pitch were as off the wall as he was on it.
Chimbonda was on SFR Sport's Le Vestiare show alongside former Arsenal star Emanuel Petit, ex-Chelsea defender Frank Lebeouf and Birmingham City striker Christophe Dugarry.
And he had the France World Cup 1998 winners in stitches when he made his outrageous claim that Bullard 'pleasured himself' in a hotel room in front of five other Wigan players.

Speaking of his playing days in England, Chimbonda said: "The English are all crazy. Jimmy Bullard... Wow...
"We are in a room watching TV. I look to my right and the guy is in the process (makes a hand gesture).
"He in his head, he was not right. It was in a room in a hotel.
"There were five of us in the room."
But if that allegation turns out to be true it would not be the only time Chimbonda would experience Bullard taking things in hand.
Except the next occasion came in front of 25,000 people at Craven Cottage - and it was Chimbonda's nuts that Bullard had hold of.
The former I'm A Celebrity contestant was at Fulham, who had just conceded a free-kick just outside the area against his old pal's then side Sunderland.
Chimbonda was making a nuisance of himself, trying to disrupt the Tigers' defensive wall, when Bullard reached across and gave the Frenchman's boules a couple of tweaks.
Judging by Chimbonda's face on the You Tube clips of the incident, he did not mind his days playing with the crazy English one bit.
