Adam Thomas and his brothers are reportedly facing serious fallout with ITV after making explosive comments about the network following the chaotic I’m a Celebrity South Africa live final. The brothers’ remarks have left ITV scrambling, with insiders suggesting that they could be ‘blacklisted’ for speaking out. 😱
Despite Adam’s victory on the show, he and his siblings have claimed they were “exploited” by ITV, especially during the tense live final when fellow contestants Jimmy Bullard and David Haye lashed out at him again. Adam shared his frustration, saying, “I just felt like I’d just been exploited… you can see it at the end of the live show.”
Scott, his twin, went further, criticizing ITV for creating a “toxic” environment, claiming, “In those shows, you get eaten alive because it is so toxic. It wasn’t your fault, it was the way ITV played it.”
The comments have reportedly put the brothers’ long-standing relationship with ITV at risk, despite two decades of successful collaborations. Adam, Ryan, and Scott have all starred in ITV shows like Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Dancing on Ice, and 99 to Beat. However, there has been no mention of Adam appearing on ITV to discuss his I’m a Celebrity win, raising suspicions that their ties with the network are indeed in jeopardy.
An insider told the Daily Mail, “It was a clear message. Adam is furious and he doesn’t want to tell his story anywhere near ITV.” ITV has denied the claims, stating that the brothers are not “blacklisted” or “on the rocks” with the channel.
Meanwhile, the live final sparked more than 1,000 complaints to Ofcom, further intensifying the controversy. ITV has stood by its coverage, claiming that the broadcast was a fair representation of life in camp and assuring that the duty of care for contestants is always a priority.
