Adam Thomas’ reaction after David Haye ‘teased’ him in never-before-seen footage from the I’m a Celeb final
After Adam Thomas won the super controversial all-star series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! following some teasing from David Haye, some unseen moments came to light.
Adam, known for Emmerdale, won the second season of I’m A Celebrity…South Africa but had a huge argument with ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard during the pre-recorded show.
The trouble started when the two were teamed up for a Bushtucker trial and told the losing team would be sent home. Bullard gave up almost right away, which meant both of them were out. This made Thomas really angry, and he had a fiery rant. Luckily, he was later allowed to stay and ended up winning the live final in London, beating Olympic legend Mo Farah.
That episode became one of the wildest moments in British TV, with Bullard demanding ITV show all the footage and calling Thomas “aggressive, abusive and intimidating.”
Bullard said, “I threw him under the bus, and I own that. I stopped so I could leave for personal reasons and still get paid. But I can’t stand someone being abusive or intimidating. You saw it but didn’t show the worst language.”
He then asked the camp if they agreed, but host Ant McPartlin jumped in and suggested they “agree to disagree,” saying, “I was there and didn’t find it intimidating.”
Their disagreement didn’t stop there. Photos showed Bullard talking with McPartlin after the final while security watched.
David Haye was very vocal too and had to be calmed down by McPartlin, with Sinitta and Gemma Collins even walking off the set. The Sun revealed that cameras didn’t catch Haye teasing Thomas and calling him “not a worthy winner.” Haye claimed the show made Thomas look like a “victim.”
Thomas, 37, reportedly told Haye that was “bullying,” something he had faced during the show. The Sun said Thomas, who didn’t even seem happy to win, “ripped his crown off and threw it to the ground.” He then went to his dressing room with his wife and brothers Scott and Ryan.
Audience members told The Sun that Gemma called Haye a “nasty b****rd” and Ashley Roberts was in tears from the arguments.
Bullard and Haye were reportedly kicked out of the studio for the ITV2 follow-up show ‘Unpacked,’ and clips of the drama have been shared online.
