Sinitta has shared her perspective on the conflict between David Haye and Adam Thomas during the recent series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here All Stars. The boxer faced accusations of bullying from fans after he called the Emmerdale actor "useless" when Adam opted out of a trial due to feeling unwell. Adam, who suffers from psoriatic arthritis, was defended by campmates and hosts, but Sinitta insists no bullying took place.
Sinitta's Account of Events
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Sinitta said: "It made for great telly, but I have to say, I was there and we all got on so well. It's a shame for all of us." She added that she did not witness any bullying and felt Adam had provoked David. "There was no bullying," the singer stated. "And if you remember, when there were the two separate camps, it was actually Adam goading David saying 'we've got this, we've got that'."
Sinitta acknowledged that banter may have gone too far and upset Adam, but she denied any bullying occurred, claiming she would not have tolerated it. "It's this thing where it can go too far with teasing and someone gets upset. But there were no feelings of anyone being bullied. Because I wouldn't have been able to tolerate that."
David Haye's Comments and Aftermath
During the show, David expressed frustration when Adam asked to sit out of a trial due to dehydration. "Not well? What's wrong with him? He's a grown arse man," David remarked. "Why aren't we forcing this dude to go and do it? Coincidentally, every time there's something to do, he's not feeling well!" Many campmates, including Gemma Collins and Scarlett Moffatt, defended Adam, and hosts Ant and Dec also supported him. Adam later revealed he sought therapy after the show, struggling with not having stood up for himself.
Following the series, drama continued within the celebrities' WhatsApp group. Craig Charles mentioned on GMB that someone was selling stories from the group to newspapers. Sinitta addressed speculation that she sold stories about Gemma Collins, with whom she had clashed. "I'm supposed to have sold stories about Gemma, but I haven't done that," she laughed. "I don't know enough about her to sell anything. If I was going to do that, I might have chosen someone I know better."
Sinitta and Gemma Collins' Disagreement
Sinitta and Gemma had a minor row after Sinitta told the TOWIE star that she thought Gemma's casting as Mama Morton in a West End production of Chicago was a "joke announcement." Sinitta compared Gemma to Zsa Zsa Gabor, famous but without notable achievements. Gemma took offence and later expressed her upset to friend Adam.
Adam Thomas' Row with Jimmy Bullard
Adam was also involved in another incident with Jimmy Bullard, who quit a mid-trial, putting Adam at risk of elimination. Adam kicked a door and yelled at Jimmy, who called him "pathetic." Sinitta claimed on social media that ITV edited out insults Adam hurled, including the c-word. However, ITV stated that what was aired was an "accurate and fair representation of events."
