I’m A Celeb’s Adam Thomas has become embroiled in a third row, now with Harry Redknapp, after his fiery clashes with David Haye and Jimmy Bullard.
Former football manager Harry was seen taking a swipe at the actor at the end of Thursday night’s show as he took to the Bush Telegraph to mock Adam, 37, in a breakfast challenge.
Emmerdale star Adam has already been embroiled in a ‘bullying’ row with former boxer David Haye and a furious war of words with ex footballer Jimmy Bullard during his time in the jungle.
And while both David, 45, and Jimmy, 47, have been sent packing from the ITV show, fans noted a third feud began brewing as the remaining campmates geared up for the live final on Friday night.
In the episode which hit screens on Thursday evening, the campmates were tasked with catching eggs from a fake hen which they could use for their breakfast.
Managing to catch two eggs at once, Adam shouted to the camp of his success: ‘I caught two eggs at one time, some people might call me the eggspert.’

But Harry, 79, appeared less than impressed as he took to the Bush Telegraph, and appeared to be making a swipe at Adam’s volume levels in camp.
He told viewers watching at home: ‘Adam could have caught one in his mouth. He could have opened his gob and caught one, couldn’t he? Adam.’
Fans were quick to pick up on the swipe, were quick to suggest that there was something amiss between the campmates.
One wrote on X: ‘Hmmmm feeling Harry is not a fan of Adam… prefers sportsmen maybe,’ as a second chimed in: ‘Was that a snarky comment from Harry about Adam catching an egg in his mouth?’
‘Harry really doesn’t like Adam,’ a third added, while a fourth penned: ‘Harry really doesn’t like Adam, the miserable old sod…’
Defending Adam, a fifth agreed: ‘Gone right off Harry, him saying “Adam could’ve caught one of the eggs in his mouth” seemed loaded.’
Previously, Harry was seen referring to camp co-star David as a ‘proper geezer’ despite his swipes at Adam who, at one point, was left in tears.
Adam was also seen crying as he received a family message on the ITV show following his recent feud with boxer David Haye.

Adam became emotional as the celebrities were sent voice notes from home in a surprise treat for the camp.
‘There’s magic in it,’ Adam responded as he struggled to control his emotions listening to the voices of his family on the phone.
Scarlett Moffatt, who was eliminated during the penultimate episode, rushed to pick up the camp phone, with an automated message informing her the campmates had voicemails waiting for them to listen to.
The first call delivered a collection of voice notes for Craig Charles from his wife and children, while Mo Farah also received a message from his family.
Harry Redknapp received a voice message from his beloved wife Sandra, who told him: ‘Keep making us proud, and love you always and forever.’ His sons follow with words of encouragement.
Scarlett, 35, received a message from her fiance and her son Jude, who for the first time ever tells her that he loves her in an emotional moment that sees her struggling to control her emotions.
During Thursday’s episode, Adam broke down in tears as he received a family message on the ITV show following his recent feud with boxer David Haye
It comes amid the ongoing ‘bullying’ row between Adam and former boxer David Haye – with the TV star breaking down and revealing he was in therapy after clashing with the athlete on the show.
Adam had a fractious relationship with boxer David during their time together in the South African jungle, which was filmed in September last year.
David has since been accused of ‘bullying’ after a series of swipes towards Adam were aired, which, in one instance, saw him brand the actor ‘useless’ for excusing himself from a trial due to his health.
He took another vile swipe at Adam on social media on Tuesday night, and Adam has revealed he is now receiving therapy following their jungle run-in.
Speaking to his brothers Scott and Ryan on their At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast, Adam emotionally said the row ‘f***ed with him’.
Breaking down in tears, Adam said: ‘It was like being back in school again and although it wasn’t physical bullying or anything like that, and I’m not saying it’s bullying, but he was just mind-f***ing me.

‘And I just never stuck up for myself whilst I was in there and I was like, “S*** bro, I wish I stuck up for myself”. That was beating me up more than anything.’
Reflecting on David’s swipes, Adam said: ‘I just took it, and took it, and took it, until eventually it got to a point where I was like, “I’m literally at breaking point here”.’
He added that David has since apologised to him as he told his brothers the boxer has ‘a heart of gold’ – however, David went on to swipe against Adam despite his apology.
The boxer claimed that his co-star was ‘weak’ in a new interview, doubling down on the bullying row and branding Adam a ‘Chihuahua’.
He said: ‘Adam’s like a kind of chihuahua. I’m more of a doberman or a pitbull or something. He’s the chihuahua. He doesn’t need therapy. He needs to do some push-ups, he needs to get out there and get in amongst other males who are powerful.
‘I don’t think it’s bullying. If a few comments breaks him, how soft is he? How weak, how brittle-spirited is he’.
I’m A Celebrity’s David took taken another cruel swipe at Adam as he claimed he is ‘weak’
Adam has autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis and struggled with fatigue and dehydration in the jungle.
But David insisted: ‘I didn’t know about it, but I couldn’t care less. Everyone’s got something. Adam was jumping around, dancing. I think whatever the trial was, he didn’t like the sound of it, so he’s lying in bed, so I gave him some s*** about that.’
The boxer went on to reveal that since leaving the jungle he has watched Adam and his two brothers Scott and Ryan’s TikTok videos which he claimed are ‘feminine’.
David sparked bullying complaints from viewers when Adam, who suffers from autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis, told his campmates during last Friday’s episode that he wasn’t feeling well enough to participate in the Termite Terror trial.
The boxer took aim at him, and said: ‘Who gives a s**t if he doesn’t feel well. He’s a grown-ass man. I don’t like guys who are a bit useless.
‘I hate them useless guys. He is useless.’
They clashed again when the camp was punished for Adam sneaking in chocolate for his campmates, with Adam suggesting that he wouldn’t eat that night as a result.
However, David chimed in suggesting ‘his portion should be a little bit smaller than everyone else’s’ as he hit back against the camp for supporting him.

Adam confronted David over his reaction to his dinner portion, calling him over and saying: ‘Right, me and you outside now.’
Irritated David responded: ‘We got a lot less than we would have had,’ as the dessert was served up, to which Scarlett Moffatt ended the row, saying: ‘Leave him alone.’
I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly said they were left ‘uncomfortable’ by the exchanges in rare comments on spin-off series Unpacked.
Ant said: ‘It’s not a nice watch. He just kind of picks and picks at them.
‘Adam has had a bit of a tough time and he’s not coping well. Clearly the banter has got too much. But David won’t stop.’
Dec agreed: ‘It’s kind of crossed the line from banter. I don’t find it comfortable to watch.’
After leaving camp, David told the hosts on his relationship with Adam: ‘No bad blood from my side. Look, I’ve been immersed in tough boxing gyms since I was ten years old. Literally fighting daily, much bigger men than myself, pushing myself to the limits, physically and mentally. I won the world heavyweight championship against a seven-foot Russian giant.
‘When a grown man tells me that a fun TV show – where we’re being paid handsomely every single day – is the hardest thing he’s ever been through, it’s just not a frequency I recognise.
‘I was actually on my best behaviour there, honestly.’
In a new post to fans on Wednesday ahead of the I’m A Celebrity final, Adam shared a group shot with his female campmates Ashley, Scarlett, Sinitta, Gemma and Beverley.
Alongside the shot, he penned: ‘I just want to say thank you to all these incredible women…
‘You’ve supported me in ways I don’t even think you fully understand, through the doubt, the unknown, and all the moments in between. I’ve always had a soft heart but a strong soul, and this whole experience really tested that.
‘For months, I didn’t know how any of this would be perceived. Even though I stood by every decision I made, there was always that little voice wondering how it would be shown, how it would be edited, how people would see me. And that uncertainty wasn’t easy to carry.
‘But now, reading your messages, seeing your comments, feeling your support, it’s given me something I can’t even put into words. It’s brought me peace. It’s reminded me that staying true to myself was always enough.
‘I was never in it to win. I just refused to let them win by breaking me…’
Elsewhere, Adam reflected on his fiery clash with Jimmy, admitting he felt regret over their war of words following the challenge which would decide which celebrities would be eliminated.
I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! star Adam Thomas has shared his regret over the way he reacted when Jimmy Bullard threatened his place in the jungle
Shortly after the trial began as the former Waterloo Road actor was seen giving it his all, the former footballer was seen telling show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly ‘I just don’t have it in me’.
He went on to call out the show’s iconic phrase: ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!’ after abstaining from taking part in the challenge.
Believing Jimmy had just secured his exit from the show, it prompted Adam’s fiery rant at Jimmy, shouting in his direction: ‘Are you f***ing taking the p***? Are you taking the p***.’
Things escalated as Adam approached Jimmy and continued: ‘I am in there getting covered in f***ing ants!’ before furiously branding his co-star a ‘p***k’.
Jimmy retorted: ‘Woah, woah, woah – calm down, that’s pathetic’, but a furious Adam could be heard ranting off screen: ‘I’ve done all that… for him to say I’m A Celeb?’
Adam continued to shout as much of what he was saying was edited out with a series of bleeps, before he again confronted Jimmy: ‘If you wanted to go, then f***ing go, don’t take me with you. What is up with you?
‘Tell me why! All you had to do was run though some f***ing mud and you said ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’. Go home then in camp, go home in camp, don’t do it on my f***ing watch.’
Earlier this week on the pre-recorded show, Adam, 37, locked horns with Jimmy, 47, when the two were paired up for a trial, which would see the losing duo sent home
‘I am not a quitter bro, I don’t quit,’ he continued, before concluding: ‘I don’t f***ing quit you p***k. Don’t do the show then, bro. You chose to do the show.’
Now, Adam has admitted he regrets the way he acted during the challenge, putting his reaction down to the ‘random’ nature of Jimmy quitting the series.
He said ahead of the ITV show’s final, which airs tomorrow (Friday April 24): ‘It was just really random and unexpected to be honest. I didn’t see it coming.
‘Safe to say, I don’t think I was too happy about it. The fact I felt like I was leaving because of someone else just really broke my heart more than anything, as I wanted to do my kids proud.
‘Emotions can get the better of you in there and in hindsight, I probably would never have reacted the way I did but I was just really upset.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
