David and Adam clashed during their time on the programme – and he seemingly took a pop at the star once again in a new chat.

In an appearance on The Sun’s Showbiz Fix podcast, David opened up about his time in the jungle, admitting he’d do the show again if asked.
The boxer, 45, also revealed the whopping amount of money the celebs made per day while roughing it up in South Africa.
“It’s probably £20,000-25,000 per day for being in that jungle. So to get up and do some trial or doing whatever… How is that hard? It’s not hard. I’ve had really hard fights for no money whatsoever. I’ve grown up in gyms where we fight each other,” he said.
David had previously clashed with Adam after the actor, who struggles with arthritis, was too ill to do a trial last week.

However, David had nothing but good things to say about his time on the show.
“I thought I’m A Celebrity was great, I’d do it again, it’s good fun, I enjoyed it. I genuinely had some amazing connections with everybody, and I enjoyed their company, all of them. We had a nice time. It was a really nice group of people,” he said.

“They cranked the trials up in terms of how tough they were and the amount of cockroaches they’d pour over your head or the questions they’d ask you. It was all a lot harder than I remember – It was the questions. Any trial that requires me knowing any sort of trivial Adele song, spinning me round and round in a machine, asking me about Adele songs, I couldn’t think of one now,” he then said.
The boxer also added that he doesn’t care if people view him as a “sexist” or a “bully” after watching him on a TV show, “that’s been edited”.

In a chat with The Sun, David also admitted he “couldn’t care less” about Adam’s psoriatic arthritis.
When asked if he knew about Adam’s diagnosis, “I didn’t know about it, but I couldn’t care less. Everyone’s got something. If you go to the doctor and say, I don’t feel well because of this, that, the other, they’ll prescribe you something, give you some pills, and now you’ve got this thing to hold on to. So any situation that might be uncomfortable, you go: ‘Look, I’ve got this doctor’s note’ and they’ll all feel sorry for me.”
The boxer also said that Adam was “jumping around, dancing”. He then said that he thinks Adam “didn’t like the sound” of the trial, so said he felt unwell instead.
He also shut down claims that he bullied Adam. “If a few comments breaks him, how soft is he? How weak, how brittle-spirited is he? If that’s what breaks him, obviously it means he comes from a very soft, padded lifestyle,” he said.
I’m A Celebrity South Africa continues at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX tonight (Thursday April 23).
