Emotions ran high on tonight’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, as Adam Thomas broke down in tears following a tense clash with David Haye. Viewers were left fuming after witnessing the boxer’s treatment of Adam, with some calling it “bullying” during the ongoing series.
In a dramatic turn of events, Adam, 37, found himself at breaking point after two heated arguments with Haye, 45, in the camp. The Waterloo Road star was visibly upset and took to the Bush Telegraph to share his frustration.
“I don’t know where it came from, I really don’t. What are you getting out of it, bro?” Adam tearfully questioned. “He just keeps on having a go. Come on man, it’s not funny no more.”
As the situation escalated, other campmates, including Scarlett Moffatt, stepped in and urged David to stop, with Scarlett telling him, “Don’t be a dick.” David, however, responded with a laugh, admitting, “I am a dick, that’s the problem.”
Later, David took his turn in the Bush Telegraph, admitting that perhaps he had been too harsh, but maintaining that it was never his intention to hurt Adam’s feelings. “I like him, he’s a genuinely sweet guy,” David remarked, acknowledging that his behavior may have crossed a line.
Despite this, the tension between the two campmates remained palpable. The drama began early in the morning when the campmates woke up, with Adam trying to make light of the situation, saying it wasn’t as cold as the previous night. David, however, took another jab at him, causing Adam to snap, “Shut up man, honestly just shut up.”
The verbal back-and-forth continued, with David mocking Adam for his earlier struggles during the Balance of Power task, where Adam had accidentally dropped a ball after scratching his leg. “It’s not funny now, bro. I don’t know what’s so funny,” Adam retorted.
The emotional toll on Adam was evident as he continued to ask why David kept picking on him. “I’m trying to be caring, it’s like a big brother caring for a little brother,” David defended himself. But Adam wasn’t buying it. “You’re not being caring, bro. Have a day off,” he shot back.
Eventually, David approached Adam once more, trying to smooth things over, but Adam was firm in his response. “I’ve got no issues, David. You’re my issue right now.”
David, realizing he had pushed Adam too far, apologized. “It’s because I like you, that’s all it is,” he said, but Adam remained unconvinced.
Gemma Collins, who was watching the drama unfold, praised Adam for standing up for himself. “I was so proud of Adam. He found the strength within himself to say that’s enough now, David.”
The emotional fallout from this latest clash left fans on social media voicing their outrage. Many viewers expressed their support for Adam, with one writing, “Proper bullying what he’s doing.” Another added, “Once again, a 45-year-old man picking on Adam for no reason.”
The fallout from tonight’s episode has only fueled the fire, with viewers eager to see how this tension unfolds in future episodes. Will Adam and David manage to make peace, or is this the beginning of an ongoing feud?
