I’m A Celebrity… South Africa star Craig Charles got visibly upset while discussing the Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas bust up.
The Coronation Street actor, 61, appeared on This Morning alongside fellow finalists Mo Farah and Harry Redknapp.
Earlier this week on the ITV show, Jimmy and Adam were involved in a heated clash following a paired Bushtucker Trial.
The Waterloo Road actor was left fuming with the former footballer when he refused to take part in the challenge and said the famous words: "I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here."

It meant that Adam would have to leave the show with Jimmy.
"I am in there getting covered in f**king ants," he shouted at Jimmy, who asked him to calm down, calling his outburst 'pathetic'.
Adam - who ended up continuing on in the jungle after campmates voted for him to stay - went on: “What’s up with you bro? If you wanted to go, go. Don’t take me with you. Go home in camp, don’t do it on my f**king watch.”
“I choose when I come and when I go,” Jimmy said.
During Friday's This Morning, Charles told Dermot O’Leary that 'Adam was so wound up, so aggressive, like a coiled spring'.
“It looked like he was going to attack Jimmy, he was dropping f-bombs and c-bombs,” he said.
“If Alison said she didn’t want to do an interview and you reacted like that, you would be escorted off the premises, it really was traumatic.
“They couldn’t broadcast it, I get that, I’m not blaming ITV, they edited it out. So mine and Harry’s response to that was because of what we’d really seen.
“They had to water down what we’d really seen but they didn’t water down our responses.
“People are thinking, ‘oh it wasn’t that bad’, but we weren’t picking on Adam at all, it was just that what he did, and we saved him again.
“I thought Adam was my friend, so we saved him again.”
Appearing emotional, Charles said that it was a shame because 'we laughed so much in that jungle'.
Co-host Alison Hammond went and gave Charles a hug, who added: “It’s just that these guys have suffered, their reputations damaged.
“With this social media campaign, they’ve given this 80-year-old man dog abuse on social media.
“Just because he said, ‘I don’t like the way that Adam reacted’. We didn’t like the way Jimmy reacted, we didn’t like the way Adam reacted.”
On why Adam wasn't with them, Charles said it was because social media thought that 'Harry, Mo and I were not with or behind Adam or there for Adam while he was getting bullied' by David Haye.
Speaking on the At Home With The Thomas Bro’s podcast, Adam said he underwent therapy after the two-time world champion continued to tease him throughout the show.
"It's changed me and that's no over-exaggeration," he said. "Like it's changed me. Like I'm in therapy now, it's f**ked with me mentally because I just thought, 'how is this happening?'
"Like, I'm a 37-year-old man and I'm like, 'how am I letting some other person do this to me in here?'"
Adam says the former boxer apologised to him and 'explained why he is the way that he is and all this stuff'.
"He has deep down, man. I know, he gives off this bravado or whatnot, but deep down, I know he's a good guy," Adam said.
After leaving the camp on Monday, Haye said there was 'no bad blood from my side'.
The final of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will air on ITV from 7:30pm this evening (24 April).
