Sinitta, a star of I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, has accused fellow contestants David Haye and Jimmy Bullard of bullying Adam Thomas during the live final. Thomas, 35, was declared the winner following a chaotic episode in which Bullard alleged he was 'abusive, aggressive and intimidating'.
Haye backed Bullard, claiming the show had edited footage to portray Thomas as a victim. Sinitta and Gemma Collins subsequently walked off the set after defending the actor. Reflecting on Good Morning Britain, Sinitta said she left because Bullard and Haye missed their chance to share their side of the argument.
Sinitta stated: 'It's like, you had a point. Yes, Jimmy didn't deserve to be treated that way.' She added: 'Yes, there was banter, but it actually felt like bullying to me... because you're all shouting and trying to get your things in, and now it does look like you're bullies.'
She also described Thomas's interactions with Haye in the jungle, claiming she occasionally told Thomas to stop but that he 'goaded' the boxer behind her back. Sinitta said of the row with Bullard: 'Yes it was over the top, Adam was aggressive but they couldn't show the whole thing.'
Thomas, who appeared distressed as the show ended, later took 'full responsibility' for his actions and said he has 'nothing but love for Jimmy'. However, Haye interrupted to say: 'You've got a funny way of showing it.' Sinitta later supported Thomas's win on Instagram, calling the final 'a poor representation of the overall time in the jungle'.
