The tension among Adam Thomas, David Haye, and Jimmy Bullard has been one of the show’s major highlights. According to David Haye, amid the heated arguments between Jimmy and Adam, the latter had used inappropriate language.

During the finale, the 45-year-old boxer shouted from the audience, alleging that Adam Thomas used "the c-word multiple times" for his fellow campmate Jimmy Bullard.His allegation prompted the host, Anthony McPartlin, to promise that the team “will get into all this later".Further, after the finale task, presenters McPartlin and Declan Donnelly asked Gemma Collins about Thomas’ performance. She called him her “hero” and rooted for him to win.

This is when David Haye again chimed in to question Adam Thomas’ victory. At this point, McPartlin also agreed and stated that “there was a lot of stuff that was said that was un-broadcastable” during Thomas’ row with Bullard.

Reflecting on his row with Jimmy and things that didn’t get aired, Adam Thomas, in a recent social media post, wrote, “I have to say, I’ve seen some comments going around about things that some of my fellow campmates said during the row between me and Jimmy, and I just want to make one thing clear, I completely stand by them.

Not everything was shown, and honestly, a lot of it probably couldn’t be aired anyway, I’ll hold my hands up to that.

So I understand where they were coming from, and I respect their honesty.”“It’s genuinely disappointing to see any negativity directed their way because they don’t deserve it. They are some of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting,” he continued.For the unversed, Adam had been very vocal about his feud with Haye. Ahead of the finale, he even took to his social media to claim that David Haye ‘broke’ him. Meanwhile, he had another row with Jimmy Bullard, which escalated to an extent that it almost jeopardised his participation and brought him closer to elimination.
