In a tense and chaotic final of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, Adam Thomas was crowned the winner, but his victory was marred by an explosive row involving fellow contestants Jimmy Bullard and David Haye. Adam’s wife, Caroline Daly, did not hold back in her criticism of their behavior, calling the pair “vultures” and condemning the “vile display” witnessed during the live broadcast.
The dramatic evening, filled with accusations and tension, had the campmates—and the audience—on edge. Jimmy Bullard, 47, accused Adam of being “abusive, aggressive, and intimidating” in a heated argument from earlier in the series. Meanwhile, former boxer David Haye also launched a stinging attack, accusing Adam of “playing the victim.”
Adam’s family was present in the studio, with his twin brothers, Ryan and Scott, and wife Caroline by his side. Caroline was visibly distressed by what she saw unfold on live television. Taking to Instagram, she shared her frustration, writing: “Our Legend, Our King. What should have been a night of celebration for everyone, turned into a glimpse of a real jungle, watching a pack of vultures attack!”
She added, “I have never ever seen anything like the vile display that was demonstrated live on national television last night, on what is supposed to be a loved family show full of laughter and fun! Not one bit of that was fun, or ‘banter.’ As a wife, my heart is breaking, and I will forever be horrified at what I had to sit and watch my husband go through.”
Despite the emotional turmoil, Caroline also praised Adam for his strength in the face of adversity. “Even though Adam, the kindest, most loving person, was breaking inside, he somehow found a strength to stay calm, composed, and once again stand up for himself,” she wrote, showing her pride in her husband’s dignity throughout the ordeal.
She went on to celebrate his win, saying, “So congratulations, my baby, on continuing to stay true to yourself, congratulations on not only winning the show, but winning the hearts of the nation. You showed everyone exactly what a real man should be, and the kind of values every parent should aim to raise their children with.”
Caroline’s words were a heartfelt tribute to her husband, who she described as embodying values like poise, dignity, empathy, and honesty. “Nice guys DON’T finish last! They come out on top!” she declared, echoing Adam’s own sentiments that he would not let anyone “dim my shine.”
The tense final moment left Adam visibly upset, and he chose not to appear on the Unpacked spin-off show to discuss his victory. Instead, he left the studios alongside his family, clearly shaken by the on-screen drama.
Caroline’s emotional post was joined by support from Adam’s campmates and family members, including his brothers. Scott, Adam’s twin, also shared his solidarity on social media, as did Adam’s camp friend, Gemma Collins, who called the actions of Jimmy and David “disgusting” and “vile.”
Despite the chaos, Adam’s family remains proud of him, with Caroline concluding her post: “So glad to close this chapter, one day we will look back and see how much strength this has brought you, until then I’m honoured to have the pleasure to hold your hand and be by your side.”
The fallout from the final has continued to make headlines, with fans and stars alike expressing their shock at the drama that unfolded during what was supposed to be a triumphant moment for Adam. His wife’s emotional tribute serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience Adam has shown throughout this challenging experience.
