Adam Thomas has revealed that David Haye sent him a 'disturbing' voice note after the explosive live final of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, despite accusing ITV of editing the show to make the actor look like a 'victim'. Thomas, who won the spin-off series, described the message as unsettling given the tensions that had erupted on air.
During the live final on April 24, Thomas was accused by former footballer Jimmy Bullard of being 'abusive, aggressive and intimidating'. Haye then joined in, claiming producers had edited footage to portray Thomas as a victim. The incident led to Gemma Collins walking off set and Sinitta shouting that Thomas's behaviour was 'abusive and aggressive'.
Speaking on his brothers' podcast, Thomas admitted feeling 'dead inside and numb' over the experience, saying it had tarnished the show for him and his family. He revealed that Haye had sent him a voice note after the final, saying: 'Oh mate, what a great show that was. I'm so happy you won. Congratulations!'
Thomas said he replied: 'I think this is where we draw the line and I hope that you find happiness, bro, but I'm done!' He added that he had previously moved on from their camp disagreements after Haye apologised, but the live final changed things. 'I feel like it's just a show for them. For me, it's not about entertainment,' Thomas said.
