ADAM Thomas has exposed the chilling words said by David Haye during a private conversation after filming I’m A Celebrity.
The actor, 37, has spoken out for the first time since winning All Stars – and the dramatic row that unfolded at the live final.
Lifting the lid on a phone call with the former heavyweight boxer, Adam said: “I spoke to David when I got out and I asked him, ‘why did you keep doing this to me? Why did you do it?’
“He told me, ‘I’ve never met a nicer guy. I just wanted to break you’.
“Now, if that isn’t classed as bullying, I don’t know what is.”
Adam added: “On the last podcast, I was a bit apprehensive and probably a bit diplomatic about whether it was bullying or banter.
“I didn’t want to call anyone a bully, but what happened to me in camp was bullying.
“So I just want to just be clear to anyone out there that is being bullied, I don’t care what anyone says, if you know how you feel and if that is happening to you, then speak up no matter what anyone else says, because if you don’t, it will just carry on and carry on.”
Adam was crowned the Ultimate Legend on Friday night after furious arguments broke out on-screen between him, David and Jimmy Bullard.
It’s after David and Jimmy argued the fight had been unfairly edited.
The pair are believed to be taking legal action against ITV, with David planning to sue the channel for up to £10million over claims of “irreparable damage to his brand”.
He has instructed lawyers to send a letter to ITV, and is demanding a full investigation into the show edit.
Adam’s reflection on his journey in camp since the series played out has changed in recent weeks.
When I’m A Celeb South Africa was on telly, the actor told fans: “Since coming out, I’ve taken time to process everything, and I’m in a much better place now.
“I let go of the anger, had the conversations I needed to have, and chose peace.
“What I’m most proud of, is at times like this I wanted to walk, I wanted to quit but I didn’t.
“Even when I wanted to walk away, even when it felt like too much, I never give up! and that means everything to me.
“He broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits, and I’ve told David this and he’s apologised and that’s that! I’ve moved on now, am not one to hold a grudge.
“We all face people and situations that try to break us, but sometimes those moments are what rebuild you stronger than ever.”
But after the dramatic live final, Adam was unable to celebrate his win.
He barely raised a smile as he was crowned in front of a studio audience after campmate Jimmy said nine times that Adam’s conduct was “abusive, aggressive and intimidating” — a key phrase from the cast’s contract concerning unacceptable behaviour.
