Gemma Collins has launched a furious rant over the I’m A Celebrity… South Africa final hitting out at the ‘disgusting’ behaviour shown by some of the stars of the ITV show
Gemma Collins has waded in on the I’m A Celebrity…South Africa feud between Adam Thomas and David Haye over claims the boxer was ‘bullying’ the soap star.
Sat in her pyjama’s cuddling her step-son Tristan, she posted a video on Instagram to her fans and said: “Good morning Tristan, we loved the I’m A Celebrity final last night but we were very upset wasn’t we? Tell everyone why we were upset.”
Tristan then spoke to the camera and said: “Because someone was bullying Adam.”
The former TOWIE star added: “And it was hard to see wasn’t it?. And did it ruin our night? Upset us very much? And what has it taught us in life? Tristan continued: “Never bully.”
Speaking directly to her fans, she explained: “Adam, it was really difficult to sit there and watch you go through that last night. It was disgusting. And what a shame because we all…I mean the jealousy is real.”
This comes after the reality TV star stormed off stage along with eighties pop star Sinitta, who appeared to be incredibly upset and frustrated over Jimmy Bullard’s version of events that led to his explosive fall out with Adam Thomas.
Before leaving the stage, Sinitta told the audience that they were not there and did not really know what happened.
Adam and Gemma, also known as the GC, formed a close bond while in the South African jungle. And this may explain why Gemma said while on I’m A Celebrity : Unpacked that she felt she had to “protect Adam.
Taking to Instagram, Adam posted an emotional recap of his time in the jungle but heartbreakingly admitted that his encounter with David Haye left him “broken.”
Last week, it looked as though the former boxer tried to bully Adam into taking part in the Termite Terror trial. The sports star seemed unable to accept that Adam was struggling physically and felt unable to take part.
Adam, 37, who has also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, was recently diagnosed with arthritis. Adam felt forced to defend himself to David who labelled him as “useless” and claimed he “doesn’t like men like that.”
While on I’m A Celebrity Unpacked Gemma said: “I think David Haye might have seen a weakness in Adam, there were times where I had to protect Adam in there.”
She added: “If I was going full GC mode on David Haye, and a lot of them, then it would’ve been a disaster in there but I had to remain calm and composed and just remember that I’m not here to be performative.”
“I am here as me. I think the fact that I stretched my arms out, I’m sort of saying to ’em all, without biting their heads off, ‘enough’,” she continued.
Since leaving the show, David has been far from remorseful over claims he targeted Adam while in the jungle. He has since denied knowing about Adam’s arthritis diagnosis but said he “couldn’t care less.”
Instead, he doubled down and said that others have things that they have to contend with also.
