Fans are left heartbroken after Adam Thomas, winner of “I’m A Celebrity… South Africa,” was nowhere to be seen during the spin-off show Unpacked following an explosive live final. The emotional toll from the dramatic episode has left viewers worried, and Adam’s sudden no-show has only deepened the concerns.
The Controversial Live Final That Shook Fans
The tension reached new heights during the live final as Adam faced off against his fellow contestants, David Haye and Jimmy Bullard. What was meant to be a celebration quickly turned into a heated clash. Both David and Jimmy expressed frustration over the airing of certain moments from their intense argument, including Adam’s use of the “C-word,” which was notably missing from the broadcast.

The situation escalated further when Jimmy clashed with host Ant McPartlin, who challenged claims that Adam had been “intimidating.” The conflict left the studio in turmoil, with Sinitta and Gemma Collins walking off set, while other celebrities were visibly unsettled. Though Adam was crowned the winner, his emotional and somber reaction suggested that this victory wasn’t as sweet as it seemed.
Where Was Adam?
When Unpacked aired shortly after the final, fans were expecting to see the victor in a celebratory mood. However, much to their shock, Adam was completely absent from the show. His absence sparked an outpouring of concern from fans on social media.
One fan shared, “Adam didn’t appear on #Unpacked and honestly, I don’t blame him. He looked utterly broken, and it was hard to watch.” Another fan wrote, “It’s clear those [bleeps] really took a toll on Adam. I just hope he’s okay.”
Many fans also criticized ITV, saying the network should have stepped in to prevent the escalating tension. “They should have removed Jimmy and David after the first half of the show. It’s clear Adam just wanted to get home to his family,” one user added.
Scott Thomas Offers an Update on Adam’s Well-Being
In response to the growing concern, Adam’s twin brother Scott Thomas took to Instagram to offer an emotional update. Reflecting on the chaos of the final, Scott praised his brother for handling the stressful situation with dignity.
“That was tough to watch, but Adam handled it with such grace and courage,” Scott wrote. He continued, “I’m not sure how @adamthomas21 ended up in the middle of all this, but I know he’s a worthy winner—not just in the jungle, but in life. All he wants is the best for others.”
Scott went on to reassure Adam’s fans, sharing, “Don’t let anyone take your shine, bro. You deserve the best, and there’s a whole army of people behind you who love you.”
