The former Coronation Street star took to social media to speak about his younger sibling following his dramatic I’m A Celeb stint
Ryan Thomas has been seen speaking out in defence of his brother, Adam, as his time in I’m A Celebrity… South Africa continues to be marred by the drama which has unfolded on-screen.
There were explosive scenes in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here spin-off this week as the Manchester-born actor almost lost his place in camp due to Jimmy Bullard quitting a trial, which therefore saw him forfeit his time on the ITV show.
Adam’s unexpected outburst towards the former footballer came after viewers were left in uproar over David Haye’s treatment of the Waterloo Road star.
The boxer criticised Adam for opting out of a Bushtucker Trial because he was “not feeling well”, before he went on to claim he was “dehydrated”. Despite fellow campmate Beverley Callard urging him to “have a little bit of sympathy”, boxer David called actor Adam “useless”, adding: “Who gives a s*** if he doesn’t feel well. He’s a grown-ass man.”
Adam, 37, has since been heard speaking to his brothers Scott and Ryan on their At Home With The Thomas Bro’s podcast, and Adam broke down in tears as he told of his “tough time” during the all-star series, while also sharing that he is now in therapy after the experience.
Former Emmerdale star Adam has since made the final of I’m A Celebrity South Africa, which will air live on ITV on Friday (April 24) night, alongside Craig Charles, Harry Redknapp and Sir Mo Farah, and ahead of it, Ryan has spoken out in support of his younger sibling.
The former Coronation Street star took to Instagram with a childhood snap of the pair, alongside which he wrote in view of his followers: “It’s hard to put into words what you mean to me bro. You’ve always been more than just a brother… you’ve been my backbone, my reality check, and the person who always champions me & everyone else around you.
“A friend of mine called me this morning and said in 30 years of knowing Adam he’s never seen him react the way he did in the jungle does that not speak volumes!!??? You stay true to your emotions your feelings it’s who you are & I wouldn’t change any of you, you do things with compassion, love & sensitivity.”
He went on: “I hate to say this because I’m your big brother but I look up to you in so many ways sometimes I wish I was more like you. You’re not just my little brother…you’re my best friend & I’d be lost without you. Ps I know you don’t care about winning but just a reminder that us boys have done every reality show there is & I’ve won all of them….what have you won!? Bring that crown home R kid. As Dad would say ‘life’s a game son’.”
