Thomas had also clashed with boxer David Haye, who was seen criticising the actor in camp, including for opting out of a bushtucker trial because he was “dehydrated” and “not feeling well”.<\/p>\n

“Me and Adam had a little bit about back and forth,” Haye said after leaving the show on Monday. “I was bantering, but the banter, he didn’t really like the banter.”<\/p>\n

When the official I’m A Celebrity Instagram account posted, external<\/span><\/a> that “Adam Thomas has had enough of David Haye’s banter”, Thomas replied: “Just for the record this isn’t banter!!”<\/p>\n

Haye admitted he may have pushed it a little too far, saying he is “an extremist” and he can’t help himself, adding: “It’s all love. I love him, really. He’s a cool guy.”<\/p>\n

In his own post on Sunday, external<\/span><\/a>, Thomas wrote that the show was “one of the toughest things I’ve ever been through, physically, mentally, and emotionally”.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “He broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits, and I’ve told David this and he’s apologised and that’s that! I’ve moved on now, am not one to hold a grudge.”<\/p>\n

Haye’s other criticisms included saying Thomas “didn’t have the mental strength” when he lost his part of the challenge because he needed to itch his elbow.<\/p>\n

In his Instagram post, Thomas also said he didn’t talk about living with psoriatic arthritis “as much as I should do… but in there it really took its toll”.<\/p>\n

Psoriatic arthritis is a long-term condition that causes joint pain, swelling and stiffness, according to the NHS.<\/p>\n

Haye also faced controversy for his remarks about women, including saying his girlfriend has “the personality of a proper ugly bird”.<\/p>\n

After being picked to leave in Monday’s episode, Haye was asked to choose one other celebrity to depart, and selected TV personality Gemma Collins.<\/p>\n

Collins had been a strong defender of Thomas, and some fans were not happy with his decision.<\/p>\n
