I\u2019m A Celebrity might be over but Adam Thomas has continued reflecting on his time in the jungle<\/a>, revealing the shocking moment that David Haye goaded him for fainting in camp.<\/p>\nThe pair were at the centre of a bullying row, with viewers left uncomfortable by the scenes as the boxer branded the Emmerdale actor \u201cuseless\u201d<\/a> for not volunteering for a Bushtucker trial due to illness.<\/p>\nAlthough the soap star was eventually crowned winner in a tense live finale<\/a> last week, he previously revealed that he turned to therapy over the experience. In the latest episode of his podcast, At Home With The Thomas Bros, he detailed the moment he \u201cfinally\u201d defended himself against his co-star\u2019s taunts.<\/p>\n\u201cIt only got to the point where I finally stood up for myself because of a trial I did,\u201d he told siblings Scott and Ryan Thomas<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you can remember it, but there was a ball on this wooden spoon. I felt my knees going, like I was going to collapse. In all honesty, I just threw the ball. I pretended like I had an itch on my elbow and I just wanted out of the game because I couldn\u2019t stand on my feet any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Adam](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37084756.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Screenshot-2026-04-29-at-080335.jpg\")
<\/div>\nAdam Thomas thinks one particular moment in I’m A Celeb, which was not aired, led to his feud with David Haye(Image: At Home With The Thomas Bro’s)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cOn the way back from that trial, I fainted. I\u2019ve never fainted before in my life, I was shook up, I started crying, everyone\u2019s around me. And when I started hearing all the other voices around me, all I could hear in that moment was David just coming for me, still, whilst I was on the floor. He was goading me, going, \u2018Come on you p***y, get up! What you fainting for?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that moment, I felt such anger towards him, that was the final straw for me. When I got back to camp, I slept it off and then next morning I thought, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be over, surely.\u201d The first thing I heard when I opened my eyes that day in camp was him taking the p**s out of me for fainting. That\u2019s when I finally blew it and stood up for myself. Enough is enough now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since returning to the UK, many of the campmates have shared their view over the intense footage. Sinitta initially insisted that there was no \u201cbullying\u201d before performing a U-turn after the explosive finale.<\/p>\n
Sharing his view, Adam continued: \u201cI laughed it off and pretended like it was alright, so I can see it from the other campmates perspective, through their lens, why it might seem like it was banter and not bullying. I understand it. But I\u2019m telling you my truth and how I felt in there, and I\u2019m telling you now, it was bullying.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nDavid Haye was embroiled in the bullying row(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI spoke to David, when I got out, and I asked him why he did it,\u201d he added. \u201cHe told me, \u2018I\u2019ve never met a nicer guy, I just wanted to break you\u2019. If that isn\u2019t classed as bullying, I don\u2019t know what is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adam also came to blows with Jimmy Bullard during a trial, and lashed out when the former footballer decided to quit the challenge, putting them both at risk of going home. In the finale, he came face-to-face with the pair for the first time, leading to chaos and walk-offs.<\/p>\n
While he eventually won the show, he was visibly upset by the time the credits rolled, and reportedly threw his crown and sceptre down after the show ended.<\/p>\n
An insider told the Mirror<\/a> : “Adam\u2019s family were there at the start then the second he was crowned they got up and left so abruptly, you could feel the energy.<\/p>\n\u201cIt felt so uncomfortable for people. Adam looked like a shadow of himself – he\u2019s not the same man we watched on TV. He looked vacant and a lot thinner, it was really sad to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
