Thomas and Haye have gotten into a public feud over the new season of I’m A Celeb All Stars, with the Waterloo Road actor having accused the ex-boxer of ‘bullying’ in the jungle.
This was shown on screen with Haye mocking Thomas for complaining about struggling in the jungle, something Thomas has later clarified was due to his auto-immune disorder psoriatic arthritis.
In the live finale however hell broke loose, with Jimmy Bullard joining in to attack Thomas after the pair got into a heated argument on the set of the show, and Haye shouting at the actor who ended up winning the series. The full argument that was aired on ITV is shown below:

Haye reportedly also sent a ‘disturbing message’ to Thomas after the finale, and the actor has finally revealed what actually happened at the live final.
Appearing on his podcast At Home With the Thomas Bros, which he hosts with his brothers Ryan and Scott, he explained: “It’s so difficult because even when I got out and I explained what I went through, you guys, my friends, you won’t understand what I went through.
“The fact that it’s been turned into entertainment for live television, for a show, for a family show that I loved. I’ve got so much to thank this show for, ten years ago this show put me on the map.
“Even after the live show and everything that happened, I still can’t escape it. I’m on Instagram and TikTok, just the algorithm and everyone talking about it, everyone saying their bit and how they saw it.”
Thomas explained that he is ‘tired’ from the ordeal and wants it ‘all to go away’ so he can be forgotten about.
The actor claimed that whilst others will be able to go on with their lives he will ‘live with everything that’s happened from the very start and to the very finish’, adding: “This is part of my DNA now, it’s made me the person that I am.
“It’s hard because right now I can’t see any light, I can’t see the positive in it.”
He went on to say he felt he had been ‘exploited’, adding: “I think you can see it at the end of it, I felt like I was just in the midst of it all and it wasn’t even about me.”
Adam’s brother Scott stated that Jimmy Bullard came up to him in the corridor ahead of the show to check in on how the actor was doing, explaining: “Then to see what he did that night to come for you like that. But then I realized, Adam, it wasn't about you in the whole thing. It wasn't about you.”
The Waterloo Road star added: “I just wanted to go back and experience it all over again. But it’s sad now because the way I always looked at this show, the way I perceived this show, it’s tarnished for me.
“The problem is now, I just can’t escape it. It’ll always be on.
“I used to sit down with my kids and watch this show, and now I won’t be able to do that. That’s the sad thing for me because it will just remind me of the experience I went through.”
