David Haye has delivered a stark warning to Adam Thomas after the I'm A Celebrity winner accused him of being a 'bully' during an emotional episode of his family podcast. Tension between the pair erupted into a heated verbal clash during Friday night's (April 24) live finale, with the boxer saying Adam was did not deserve to win the ITV All Stars series.
A tearful Adam told his brothers he felt 'manipulated and exploited' and sought therapy after his experience with David in camp. In response, David posted a fiery Instagram video, accusing Adam of continuing to 'play the victim.'
Dismissing the comments made by Adam and his brothers Ryan and Scott as 'very interesting', David claimed Adam could 'dish out banter but never accept it.' He also alleged that the actor would 'cry and moan' whenever things did not go his way.
"I don't think he's been around guys, like proper guys, who actually have a bit of back and forth and you kind of build your resilience, your mental resilience to jibes."
David insisted that his comments to Adam in the South Africa camp were "light sprinkling of primary school banter" claiming he was "so gentle". The former heavyweight champion also suggested that Adam reaction was reflective of the 'world right now.'

"Everyone's so damn soft, it makes me sick but it's the world we live in right now and you're rewarded the softer and weaker you are," David added. "You're nearly 40 years old and you're moaning that you've won a TV competition. You won £100k, you're getting endorsements. ITV will give you a TV show....
"It's a big slice of the population who love that soft s***. So just keep giving them the weakness. Keep giving them that soft flaccid energy. That's it. Mr Flaccid."
Wrapping up his response, David issued a warning to his former campmate, saying: "There's a lot of things that are going to come to light that kind of contradicts his story just a little bit that I'm looking forward to that seeing the light of day."
Just yesterday, April 29, Adam admitted he felt 'dead inside and numb' following his I'm A Celeb experience and claimed he would not have returned to the show - even for '£10million' - had he known how events would unfold, the Mirror reports.

Although he said he forgives David, he went on to say that he couldn't understand how anyone can want to make another human feel the way he did. After sharing that David sent him a congratulatory message following his win, Adam said he replied with a blunt response.
"I just sent him a message back just saying, you know 'I think this is where we draw the line and I hope that you find happiness bro, but I'm done.'"
Adam said: "The relationship with me and David is even after the camp, even after he told me [out of camp] 'you're the nicest guy I've ever met and I just wanted to break you', like, it's cool. He apologised. I moved on.
"You know, we had voice messages back and forth and we'd just been bantering and having a laugh. I'd just put it all to bed. I think for David and some of the campmates that have come out and been on the live show and everything, I feel like it's just a show for them.
"It's entertainment. It's fun. For me, it's not about entertainment. I'm not playing a character or here for anyone else's agenda. I'm just here to have a laugh and have fun and enjoy this experience."
