Gogglebox cast open-mouthed over 'awkward' I'm A Celebrity South Africa live final: 'This is absolutely phenomenal'
'You know what that sad man needs? A crown,' quipped Helen as Adam Thomas won the series
I’m A Celebrity South Africa‘s chaotic live final was reviewed on Gogglebox last night (May 1) and Channel 4’s cast of armchair critics didn’t disappoint.
Adam Thomas won the Legend crown last Friday night (April 24), after an explosive on-air bust-up sparked by Jimmy Bullard. David Haye, naturally, also got involved.
Their outbursts somewhat overshadowed Adam’s win, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly struggling to keep control over goings on.
Now, the cast of Gogglebox have given their take on the explosive on-air shenanigans…

“This is absolutely phenomenal,” said Sophie to brother Pete.

‘Most awkward thing I’ve ever watched’
Pete and Sophie also reacted to Adam’s crowning moment as jungle star Sam Thompson was given the honour of presenting it to Adam.
“And now he’s got Sam Thompson presenting the crown,” Sophie quipped, as Pete added: “Could it get any worse?” “He’s been through enough,” Sophie joked.
Friends Daniella and Danielle declared: “It’s the most awkward thing I’ve ever watched. Adam is the most unhappy I’m A Celebrity finalist I’ve ever seen.”
Pete concluded: “Usually they set the fireworks off afterwards, not before!”
Ofcom complaints over I’m A Celebrity live final
However, while the cast of Gogglebox found last weekend’s live show hilariously shocking, viewers watching from their armchairs at home were less than impressed.
More than 1,000 people complained to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. They said they thought that the episode breached broadcasting standards.
