Adam Thomas shrugs off David Haye's latest blistering attack as he enjoys sunny day in the garden with his bikini-clad wife Caroline

Adam Thomas has shrugged off David Haye’s latest attack as he enjoyed a sunny day in the garden with his bikini-clad wife Caroline in a post shared to Instagram on Thursday.

Adam's time on I'm A Celeb South Africa was overshadowed by his feud with ex-boxer David, 45, and their reunion during Friday's live final was explosive.

As the main show aired, Adam took to Instagram to say that David 'broke me and pushed me to my limits' while filming the series, including berating him for not doing a trial as he felt unwell.

And while David has continued hurling negative comments about the Waterloo Road star, 37, Adam has proven that he is doing all he can to stay positive.

He appeared to be having a lovely time in the sun as he shared some Insta snaps on Thursday. 

In the posts, Adam's wife Caroline was seen sunbathing on their loungers as she flaunted her figure in a two-piece. 

It comes as David labelled Adam 'weak-willed' and told him to 'build his mental resilience' as he issued a blistering response to the I'm A Celeb co-star's 'crying and moaning' podcast on Thursday amid their ongoing bullying row.

Waterloo Road actor Adam spoke on his Thomas Brothers podcast about his time on the show on Wednesday, saying of David: 'What happened to me in camp was bullying, that is the matter of fact about it – it was bullying.'

But David has issued a savage reply to the podcast comments, saying in a new video on Thursday: 'I've just taken the time to listen to the podcast. Very interesting.

'It was enlightening. Dishing out banter to me and then losing the banter game when I give it back to him - he just starts crying and moaning and he's somehow still spun it so that he's the victim.

'He's done this hour chat with his brothers... I put it in double speed as I couldn't listen to the waffle, all three of them were b***hing and whining and moaning. He won!

'I don't think he's been around proper guys who have a bit of back and forth and that does build your mental resilience to jibes. I've had plenty of that - whenever something goes wrong I do get shit for it, that's what real guys do.

'The little light sprinkling of primary school banter that I gave which was so gentle - he nearly had an emotional breakdown over it. The amount of banter he received was significantly less than what he dished out. And this message now is another form of banter.'

He continued: 'Everyone now is so damn soft it makes me sick. You are rewarded for the softer and weaker you are. I'm interested in the smaller amount of people who are saying 'David makes sense'. 

'You're nearly 40 years old and you're moaning TV competition! You get £100,000 to give to the charity of your choice, you've made more money in a day than most people make in a year.

'Maybe your weak fanbase want you weak energy. There is lots of stuff that's going to come to light that kind of contradicts his story that I'm looking forward to seeing the light of day...'

On the podcast with his brothers Adam said he felt exploited by ITV during the show's explosive live final on Friday evening. 

His time on the show was overshadowed by a volatile rows with former footballer Jimmy Bullard and David. 

But his unveiling as the pre-recorded show's winner during a live instalment, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly at London's Hammersmith Apollo Theatre, ended in chaos as Jimmy and David reignited their feud with Adam in front of a stunned studio audience. 

Reflecting on his experience on the podcast, he suggested his fallout with the two campmates was taken full advantage of as Friday's show progressed. 

He said: 'I think for David [Haye] and some of these campmates who have come out, I feel like it's just a show to them, do you know what I mean? 

'It's entertainment. It's fun. And for me it's not about entertainment, I'm not playing a character, I'm not here for anyone else's agenda but my own, to have a f***ing laugh and enjoy this experience.

'And I feel that's the most disturbing thing for me, looking at David, and even after the show and everything he did, he sent me a voice note saying 'Ah mate, what a great show that was, so happy you won, congratulations.' 

'I just sent him a message back and said look, I think this is where I draw the line, I hope you find happiness bro, but I'm done now.

'It's hard, the whole experience. That live show, I just felt like I'd just been exploited, and I think you can see it, at the end of it. I felt like I was in the midst of it all, and it wasn't even about me.'   

An emotional Adam, who has been open about his struggles with mental health issues, also described David's actions in camp as definite 'bullying' and claimed the former boxer left him in an emotionally vulnerable state after 'getting inside his head.'  

'What happened to me in camp was bullying, that is the matter of fact about it – it was bullying,' he said. 

'And I don't think it's fair, for people who were going through what I was going through in the real world, to pass it off as banter, because it's not. 

'And the reason why I didn't speak up for myself when I should have done is because when I was in camp, everyone was passing it off as banter, as 'Oh, he's just doing it because he loves you.' So I laughed it off. I laughed it off and pretended that it was alright.' 

He added: 'I can see it from the other campmates' lens why it may seem like it was banter and not bullying, I understand it. But I'm telling you my truth, and how I felt in there, and it was bullying.

'I can also tell you that I spoke to David when I got out, and I asked him why. Why did you keep doing this to me? Why did you do it?  And he told me, 'I've never met a nicer guy, I just wanted to break you.' 

'If that isn't classed as bullying, then I don't know what is.'

The actor was targeted by David after a medical condition ruled him out of certain Bushtucker Trials, prompting the ex-boxer to label him a 'professional victim.' 

David is reportedly planning to sue ITV for 'irreparable damage to his brand' following his feud with Adam on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa.

He is said to have instructed his lawyers to send a letter to ITV and he is demanding a full investigation into the show edit.
