Adam Thomas makes a pointed dig at the I'm A Celeb final chaos and says 'that's what winning should feel like' as he celebrates son's success

Adam Thomas has made a pointed dig at the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa final chaos that occurred last week.  

The actor, 37, took to Instagram to share a selection pictures with his son Teddy, 11, to celebrate his son's success at a dance competition, alongside some trophies. 

He wrote: 'My boy came home this weekend with four trophies from his dance comps!!

'But honestly, it wasn’t even about the trophies… it was his face. Just pure happiness, proper proud of himself. That’s what winning should feel like, super proud of the boy.

'One thing I’ve learnt though is as you get older you start to realise, it’s not about trophies or crowns, none of that really matters. I already won a long time ago. Everything I need is right here.'

The post comes after Adam was crowned winner of the second series of the I'm A Celeb spin-off show, but 'winning' didn't quite feel as he had hoped. 

Adam was involved in a fair bit of drama during the live episode on Friday. 

The show descended into chaos when Jimmy Bullard launched a furious rant at hosts Ant and Dec for editing out clips from his trial with Adam in which the soap star allegedly called him the 'C-word' when he decided to quit the challenge.  

And David Haye exploded at Adam following on from their ongoing 'bullying' scandal. 

And after Adam's latest post, many of his followers rushed to the comments section to share the love.  

His I'm A Celeb co-star Scarlett Moffatt said: 'Massive well done teddy.'

Big Brother's Kerry Riches: 'Super Star!' 

A fan added: 'A champ raising a champ.'

'Love you two champions.'

'Well done Teddy! And well done Adam what a great Dad!' 

'Winner like his Dad.' 

'Yesssssss.' 

It comes after Maya Jama has shared her thoughts on the row that occurred during the live I'm A Celebrity... South Africa.

TV star Maya, 31 - who has presented ITV's Love Island since January 2023 - retweeted a chaotic clip involving all of those moments and said: 'Didn’t watch but from this clip alone...

'This is why I love live TV so much & hosting the aftersun show because barely any channels do it anymore out of fear of what can go wrong but people want real reactions and an edited show will never compete to the live experience!

'Ant and Dec I love you forever also x.'

During the final, Ant and Dec gave Jimmy the opportunity to speak after Adam allegedly called him the 'C-word' in an explosive clash when he pulled the plug on the show early last year.

Jimmy admitted he had to leave for personal reasons and that if he didn't say 'I'm A Celebrity' in the challenge, he would not have received his full pay.

'Listen, Adam and all of you can be upset with me and I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it and I'll wear that', Jimmy said. 'But what I don't stand on, is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating, I don't stand on that.'

Welcoming Ant and Dec to share their opinion on the matter, Jimmy said: 'You [pointing to the hosts] were there and you didn't show any of that [footage].'  

'You didn't show any of the C-bombs, it's a liberty', Jimmy fumed.

Ant argued: 'The reason we didn't air the C-bomb is because that is unbroadcastable. I was there and I didn't think it was intimidating. I was there Jim.'

During Adam's opportunity to speak, he said: 'I take full responsibility for my actions and yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment.

'I have nothing but love for Jimmy in that moment. I have apologised to Jimmy on numerous occasions and I do take everything that he is saying into account and the only thing I can do is apologise.

'That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never shown myself off like that before or after that. I do apologise Jimmy.'

'Funny way of showing it', David interjected before Ant and Dec furiously told him to stop interrupting.

David continued: 'I like to say how I see it, I like to keep it real and what I have seen is a lot of editing to make this poor guy [pointing to Adam] the victim so the people will support him.

'We all had banter back and forth, a lot of it was cut out from there side. But I think it is time for the truth.'

Storming off stage, Sinitta yelled at the audience: 'Guys, you weren't there, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.'

Jimmy shouted in the background: 'You can't be aggressive, abusive and intimating, it doesn't matter if Adam said sorry. I will not take you [Ant] saying it wasn't aggressive, abusive and intimating, you can't say that. Show it, let everyone watch it, let's play it now!'

Ant and Dec wrapped up: 'Right, let's leave it there. We'll agree to disagree Jim.' 

In the scenes that did air of the fiery clash, Adam could be seen shouting at his co-star: 'Jimmy, are you f***ing taking the p***? I am in there getting covered in f***ing ants.'

Jimmy replied: 'Woah, calm down. That's pathetic.'

However, Craig and several other co-stars have since claimed that Adam dropped the C-bomb multiple times in unaired scenes.
