Adam Thomas says what happened on I’m a Celebrity was bullying

  • Adam Thomas, winner of I'm a Celebrity: South Africa, has spoken for the first time about the show's dramatic live final, revealing he will be haunted by the experience and detailing interactions with fellow contestants.
  • Thomas claimed that David Haye, who frequently clashed with him in the jungle, sent a congratulatory voice note after the final, to which Thomas responded by saying he was 'done' and felt 'exploited' by the live show.
  • The actor explicitly stated that Haye's treatment of him in camp constituted “bullying,” despite others calling it “banter,” and accused Haye of manipulating him by falsely claiming ITV was concerned about his mental health.
  • Thomas took full accountability for his outburst at Jimmy Bullard in camp, which Bullard referenced in the final, accusing Thomas of being “abusive, aggressive and intimidating.”
  • Following the final, Haye and Bullard were reportedly removed from the studio, and Thomas, who refused further press, stated he would not repeat the experience for any amount of money due to what he endured.
