The emotional journey that led Adam to this point follows a turbulent live final, where tensions ran high and a fallout with fellow campmates David Haye and Jimmy Bullard left Adam visibly shaken. In the aftermath, Adam opened up about the emotional toll it took on him, admitting he just wanted it all to “go away.” But now, it seems Adam has found his balance and is in a much better place.

In a recent Instagram post, Adam shared a heartwarming video of him reflecting on his year so far, proudly declaring he had kept his pact to stay sober, which was one of the goals on his vision board for 2026. “Since January, I’ve quit drinking,” Adam said. “Has it been perfect? No. But have I made huge changes? Yes.”

This is not Adam’s first attempt at sobriety. In 2023, he and his brother Scott went sober together, though Adam struggled to maintain it at the time. Now, in 2026, he’s feeling the benefits of making healthier choices, with everything in his life “thriving” thanks to cutting down on alcohol.
