I’m A Celebrity… South Africa contestant Sinitta has denied accusations of bullying while acknowledging that situations “can go too far”.
The All Stars edition has been packed with controversy both inside and outside the jungle, with Sinitta and Gemma Collins seemingly at odds.
Additionally, Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas became involved in a fiery confrontation, and only days before, the ex-Emmerdale actor had also locked horns with Dave Haye.
David faced criticism after having a go at the Waterloo Road performer when Adam withdrew from the Termite Terror trial due to feeling unwell, reports Wales Online.
During the incident, David called Adam, who lives with psoriatic arthritis, “useless”, prompting viewers to suggest he was being “bullied.”

Yet during a segment on Thursday’s (April 23) instalment of Good Morning Britain, campmate Sinitta insisted there was “no bullying in camp”.
Chatting to presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway, alongside entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold, she elaborated: “I mean, It made for great telly, but I have to say, I was there, we all got on so well and it’s almost a shame all of this.”
She went on: “We didn’t have social media back in the 80s so this is like an extra bit that I wasn’t expecting. We got on so well that we were planning holidays and having lunch.
“Gemma and I went to Daphne’s, she knows all the best places to eat. So I was kind of shocked that (people were saying) we weren’t friends.”
Discussing the bullying allegations, Sinitta stated: “The whole bullying thing, there was no bullying. If you remember, when we were in two separate camps, it was actually Adam goading David with ‘haha look we’ve got this and you haven’t’.”

She acknowledged that David’s banter may have crossed a line, but insisted she would have intervened had genuine bullying occurred, saying: “It’s this thing where it can go too far with teasing and someone gets upset. But there were no feelings of anyone being bullied.”
She added: “Because I wouldn’t have been able to tolerate that. I’m so sensitive and I would have been on the phone like to the headmaster saying, ‘guys, you need to come down and fix this.'”
Turning to her alleged ‘feud’ with Gemma, the performer responded to claims she had leaked stories about the GC to the media.
Sinitta commented: “Well, I’m supposed to have sold stories about Gemma and I haven’t done that. I don’t know why or how that’s come about. But also I don’t know her well enough or know enough about her to sell stories about her.”
She added “Anyway, even if I did do that stuff, I would probably pick someone I knew a little better., I’m just saying.”
