The man, wearing a woolly hat and a grey hoodie, charged towards Jezza and the camera crew shouting "get the f*** out" and "f*** off".
As a bodyguard stepped in to shield the presenter, the protester shouted"don't f****** touch me."
Others tried to calm him down before he was escorted away from the scene.
Jezza stood his ground before walking away with the bodyguard.
Tent City was set up two weeks ago in Queens Gardens in the city centre to highlight the plight of rough sleepers.
Protesters have refused to move until every homeless person in Hull was given a home.
But yesterday a judge ordered them to leave the council-owned site by 4pm today.

Jezza faced a backlash after arriving at the scene about an hour before the eviction deadline.
The chat show host told the : "I guess a few people from outside came in.
"A few had been drinking and started shouting and screaming,
"You understand their frustration but as I said to a bloke when he eventually calmed down'you're not helping anybody are you by getting drunk and shouting and screaming?'
"You're not helping the people here who need to be rehoused by the council who are hopefully trying to do something about it."

However, later on the TV star was cheered by crowds as he slammed the local council over their treatment of the city's homeless population.
Speaking alongside the protester, Jezza said: "I'll ask the council again, if you've got 2,500 rooms, why the hell are there 25 people living in tents in the middle of winter?
"That is wrong."
Police were also called to Queens Gardens as tensions flared.
Defiant protesters are standing firm and refusing to move.

Jezza was filming for his daytime show The Kyle Files which focuses on current affairs.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: "I don't think anybody with any humility in their heart or soul thinks it's right that grown men and women are living in tents that are that flimsy that kids would suffer living in their garden in the summer.
"But I guess that with anything people will have different views.
"The council here in Hull have said they have got rooms, that they are doing everything they can."
