I’m a Celebrity… South Africa aired its live final on Friday, where Adam Thomas was crowned the winner
I’m a Celebrity… South Africa was full of drama on Friday night as it aired its live final in London.
The highly-anticipated spin-off reached its end on Friday (April 24), with Adam Thomas being announced as the winner. Adam battled it out alongside Craig Charles, Mo Farah, and Harry Redknapp in a live final that was broadcast from London.
However, fans noticed Adam, 37, looking slightly subdued during his win following a heated altercation with David Haye and Jimmy Bullard just moments before live on air.
David, 45, who found himself in a “bullying” row with Adam on the show which he denied, confronted the Waterloo Road star over his argument with Jimmy, 47, earlier on the live final.
Adam and Jimmy argued on Tuesday’s episode during a trial, where Jimmy decided to quit, which meant Adam, who was paired with him, would have to leave too.
However, Ant and Dec made a U-turn decision, allowing Adam to stay on the show after his fellow campmates agreed he could stay in the competition due to the ‘unfair’ circumstances.
Meanwhile, during the live final, the drama continued when Jimmy gave his version of events, leading to a tense segment that ended with Sinitta and Gemma Collins walking off in frustration while Ant hit back at the former footballer.
Following Adam’s win, hosts Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers caught up with the contestants on I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked Live. Speaking to Ashley Roberts, Scarlett Moffatt, Gemma Collins and Sinitta, Ashley, 44, made a heartbreaking observation about Adam’s win.
The star said: “I hope Adam enjoys it, I think he’s been through so much, and I just hope that he can take a second, because I feel like he doesn’t feel like he maybe deserves it because he’s won.”
To which Scarlett added: “He does deserve it. It was hard in there, and he was amazing, and he was a friend to us all. It is really disheartening that he didn’t get to have that moment of glory.”
Gemma also said: “The best man won! It was positive, like what is such a shame about tonight, I’m just going to tell it how it is. We had such an amazing experience in there. We had a ball.
“It was tough, it was raw, it was hard. You know, but it was fun. It was fun and I just don’t get where the negativity is coming from.”
