In a candid social media post last night, Adam Thomas shared a deeply emotional revelation about his experience on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa. The actor, who suffered through a tense clash with boxer David Haye on the show, admitted that the encounter had a profound emotional impact on him, confessing that the boxer “broke” him during their time together in the jungle.
Adam took to his platform to open up about the struggles he faced behind the scenes, describing how the intensity of their fallout went far beyond what viewers saw on television. Reflecting on the experience, Adam revealed that David’s actions had pushed him to his limits in a way that took a toll on his mental and emotional well-being.
“He broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits,” Adam shared in his heartfelt post, acknowledging the emotional weight of the confrontation. The words carried a raw honesty, offering a glimpse into how challenging his time in the camp truly was, particularly with the added strain of his battle with psoriatic arthritis, a condition that he had not fully discussed with the public before.
Despite the difficult experience, Adam confirmed that there was no lasting animosity between him and David Haye. After their fallout, the pair had a private conversation away from the cameras, where David offered a sincere apology for his actions. “I’ve told David this, and he’s apologised, and that’s that. I’ve moved on now,” Adam said, making it clear that he holds no grudges and is focused on moving forward.

The emotional statement not only garnered support from his fans, but also from his family. His brothers, who have been a major source of support for Adam, responded with heartfelt messages. Ryan Thomas, Adam’s older brother, kept things light with a touch of humour, joking: “I would like to say I would stick up for you in there but he’s not the guy to pick a fight with! We need to give @tonybellew a call, bro.”
On the other hand, Adam’s twin brother Scott Thomas expressed his frustration and admiration for his brother’s strength, saying: “I wish I could have been there for you my brother… it makes me so angry that you went through that. But I’m so proud of how you’ve come out the other side – stronger than ever.” His words reflected the deep bond shared between the brothers and the genuine concern Scott had for Adam’s well-being.
Adam’s post also resonated with many fans who have followed his journey, especially those who witnessed the intense moments on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa. His message to his followers was one of resilience and hope: “We all face people and situations that try to break us, but sometimes those moments are what rebuild you stronger than ever. Be kind.”
As Adam continues to process his experience, his focus is on healing and growing from it. Despite the challenges, his resolve to rise above the negativity has inspired many, and his message serves as a reminder of the importance of kindness, understanding, and personal growth in the face of adversity.
