David Haye and Adam Thomas clash on I’m A Celebrity
During last night’s show, Adam broke camp rules by bringing in some chocolate from an earlier feast for his campmates to eat.
Adam, along with the rest of Team Rhino had been treated to a big meal due to Jimmy Bullard’s success in a Bushtucker Trial.
However, Adam’s gesture had consequences later. Two stars were stripped of the celebs, and they were left with a smaller food portion than normal.
David was particularly irate with Adam (despite having eaten some of the chocolate himself), repeatedly complaining about his campmates’ “hollow empty gesture”.
Speaking to the camera later, Adam complained that David wouldn’t “stop going on about it”, wishing the boxer would “let it go now”.

David hits out at Adam
“You’re making me feel bad!” Adam later told David. “If you think what I did was bad, that’s making me feel bad.”
David told Adam that he “should feel bad” for giving him some “[bleep] chocolate” that’s made him have “less food”.
“Call it a day now, boys,” Mo Farah said.
Later, in a flash-forward to tonight’s show, Adam could be seen looking particuarly unwell, admitting he doesn’t feel well.
“What’s wrong with him?! He’s a grown ass man!” David complains.
In a preview clip from tonight’s show, David’s jibes come about when Adam refuses to put himself up for a trial due to feeling “dehydrated”.
“We’ve all got the same amount of water,” David snaps.
“If I was feeling on top form, I’d do it,” Adam says. “Top form? When is your top form gonna come?” David asks.
Despite being told to “stop” by Scarlett Moffatt, David continues, saying: “Coincidentally, when there’s something to do, he’s not feeling well”.
Seann Walsh weighs in
During an appearance on This Morning today, Seann Walsh, who left the show last night, theorised why Adam and David are clashing now.
“As it goes on [the show], you become more hungry, and you become more tired, and you’re missing your family even more, so that’s why it’s probably no coincidence that Ant and Dec are saying ‘Stay with us until the very end’, because it’s going to get more dramatic,” he said.
Fans slam David
Taking to social media, fans lashed out at David.
“Adam You are brilliant. David is a bully,” one fan said.
“I think Adam has psoriatic arthritis like me, I applaud the fact that he is there in the first place. David is highlighting society’s problems with unseen chronic illness,” another wrote.
“Dave did rubbish in the trial with Craig so he should’ve done it himself rather than bullying Adam who is genuinely struggling with his condition,” a third commented.
“Think it’s time for david to go Adam hasn’t done anything wrong if he doesn’t want to do a trial cause he isn’t very well leave him alone. just want to give adam a hug,” another wrote. “Adam DID look ill, how dare David say that!” a fifth said.
Adam has been open about his struggles with arthritis in the past. In 2024, he revealed that the pain can be severe and, at times, debilitating.
“The pain is pretty unbearable at the moment; it’s as if my whole body is seizing up!! The pain was bad before, but it’s a lot worse now…,” he said in a video in 2024. “I couldn’t even get dressed this morning on my own, couldn’t drive to work. I mean I can barely walk and my wrists and fingers feel like they’re broken – that’s no exaggeration!” He then added: “I wouldn’t have got out of bed today if it wasn’t for work.”
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight (Friday, April 17) from 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
