I'm A Celeb Extra Camp's Adam Thomas blasted by viewers for 'creepy' behaviour

Adam Thomas' presenting style is not sitting well with I'm A Celeb Extra Camp viewers.

The first-time host has come under fire for his on-screen 'flirting' with an I'm A Celeb production staff member on Tuesday night's episode of the jungle spin-off show.

The former Emmerdale actor, 31, who is married and father to Teddy, five, and daughter Elsie-Rose, 18 months, was giving TV watchers a tour of the set of the upcoming Bush Tucker trial named Just Desserts when he was joined on-screen with a crew member named Molly.

Introducing the behind-the-scenes worker, Adam exclaimed: "I'm here with the one, the only, the beautiful, the gorgeous - sorry what's your name again? - It's Molly! I knew that!"

He continued: "Molly just told me how nervous she is and I'm really nervous so if we get through this without messing up it's gonna be a miracle. Let's do it! We're a team ok?".

The Manchester native then caused a stir by asking Molly: "Right, first things first. What's your number?".

He then blurted out: "Joking!"

Adam's behaviour did not go unnoticed by fans who called it 'creepy' and 'inappropriate' who took to Twitter to hit out at him.

A viewer watching blogged: "Adam Thomas hitting on the Trial woman and his whole encounter with her was just creepy #ImACelebExtraCamp #ImACeleb."

"Omg I didnt even know he was married! And he just openly and creepily hit on a woman on live TV! Not okay #extracamp," typed another.

An uncomfortable TV watched added: "Adam Thomas! Bit inappropriate at the trial thing."

Some berated him, as they asked: "How’s adam Thomas pure flirting on live tv with his wife and kids sat at home," and "Why was Adam Thomas flirting with a member of @ImACelebrity's production team when he has a wife and child? That's a big no-no."

Adam hosts Extra Camp alongside Emily Atack and Joel Dommett.

While Joel's been on I'm A Celeb's sister show for two years now, this year is Emily and Adam's debut after the departure of Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash.

*I'm A Celebrity returns tomorrow at 9pm on ITV
