Adam Thomas was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa on Friday, April 24, but his victory was overshadowed by ongoing tensions with campmates Jimmy Bullard and David Haye, according to a body language expert.
Judi James analysed the final episode and said the former Emmerdale star appeared in a 'low emotional state' as he stood waiting for the result. She noted that he kept his hands in his pockets, had an unsmiling expression and eyes full of tears, suggesting the win may not have been reward enough for the drama leading up to it.
James highlighted that Jimmy Bullard dominated chat time, making the show about him, and David Haye attempted to regain attention with showy body language. Host Ant McPartlin was seen trying to bring the chaos under control with authoritative gestures.
The expert described Adam's reaction to his win as subdued, with a micro-jerk of shock but no significant change in his downbeat mood. She said his smile for the cameras was fleeting and forced-looking, and the cameras moved away quickly at the end of the show.
