King Of The Jungle Adam Thomas fails to appear on I’m A Celeb Unpacked as fans exclaim the aftershow should have been ditched following chaotic final – that even left the hosts nervous

by

Adam Thomas, known as ‘King of the Jungle‘ after winning ‘I’m A Celebrity,’ wasn’t on the show’s follow-up program on Friday, leading some viewers to say it should be cancelled following the eventful finale.

The latest episode was incredibly suspenseful, leaving even the hosts, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers, feeling anxious as they got ready to come back from the commercial break.

Scarlett Moffatt, Adam’s colleague on Unpacked, expressed sadness that he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved, noting he seemed very upset during the uncomfortable episode.

Things quickly fell apart during filming when Ant and Dec lost control of the contestants. It all started when Jimmy Bullard called Adam ‘abusive, aggressive, and intimidating,’ and then David Haye began shouting angrily.

As the studio became increasingly more intense Gemma Collins and Sinitta stormed off stage in fury.

The latest Unpacked event didn’t include Adam, Jimmy, or David, leaving viewers wondering what happened to the winner and upset that some people seemed to have overshadowed his achievement.

On X, fans expressed frustration that Adam’s interview wasn’t included on ‘Unpacked,’ and many sympathized with his disappointment. They were upset that those who had previously harassed him seemed to have ‘won’ by preventing him from having his moment, with some using strong language to express their anger.

People also pointed out that Adam’s interview never aired. Although he won and the show ended with his name in the credits, he wasn’t featured when the show continued on ITV2. Instead, Bev was, and she spent a lot of time praising David.

‘Watching #imaceleb unpacked on catch up and wondering where Adam is considering he won’; 

‘My heart genuinely breaks for him. I hope he knows the amount of love and support he has!!’; 

‘So devastated for Adam that he didn’t come back out for Unpacked. I really hope everything is ok.’

Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment.  

This year’s All Stars series has been filled with drama, including reports of bullying and disagreements between cast members Adam, Jimmy Bullard, and David.

As a longtime viewer, it was intense watching the finale! Ant and Dec finally let Jimmy address what happened with Adam – apparently, Adam had used a really awful slur towards him during a huge argument that led to the show being cut short last year. It was a tough moment, but it felt important to finally let Jimmy have his say.

Jimmy explained he was leaving the show for private reasons and revealed that he wouldn’t have been paid his full salary unless he said the show’s catchphrase during a challenge.

Jimmy acknowledged he made a mistake and upset people by blaming someone else. However, he firmly stated that he won’t tolerate abusive, aggressive, or intimidating behavior.

Jimmy asked Ant and Dec for their take on the situation, pointing out that they had been present but hadn’t included any of the relevant video footage.

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

Ant explained they didn’t use the offensive word on air because it’s not allowed on television. He added that he was present during the incident and didn’t find it threatening, repeating to Jim that he had witnessed it firsthand.

Adam stated that he fully accepts responsibility for what happened, and acknowledged that everyone involved was feeling very emotional at the time.

I genuinely care about Jimmy and feel for him. I’ve apologized to him many times, and I truly listen to his perspective. All I can do now is offer another apology.

I didn’t like how I came across, and I’ve never presented myself that way before or since. I’m sorry, Jimmy.

David made a joking comment, but Ant and Dec quickly told him to stop interrupting.

David explained that he prefers to be honest and straightforward. He believes the situation has been manipulated through editing to portray Adam as a victim and gain public sympathy.

There was a lot of playful teasing between us, though a good portion of it wasn’t shown. Now, I think it’s time to reveal what really happened.

Honestly, I was shocked! Sinitta just stormed off stage and was so upset, she told the audience exactly how she felt. She explained it wasn’t just a little disagreement – she said things got really aggressive and abusive, and she and the others were genuinely shaken up by it all. It was really intense to witness.

Jimmy raised his voice, insisting that an apology from Adam didn’t excuse unacceptable behavior. He strongly objected to anyone claiming the interaction wasn’t aggressive, abusive, or intimidating, and demanded they review the recording immediately so everyone could judge for themselves. He wanted to see proof, not just hear someone deny it.

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

Following Friday night’s show, which featured Adam’s last eating challenge and drew criticism from viewers, Gemma Collins publicly declared her support, saying, ‘Adam will always be my hero, and he really deserves to win!’

David seemed upset that Adam was getting so much positive attention, and he stopped Ant and Dec mid-conversation to question whether Adam should win, given that he had repeatedly used a derogatory slur against Jimmy.

‘Yeh after that challenge I do think I deserve to win’, Adam proudly replied. 

David suggested, “Maybe you should check with Jimmy if he feels he earned the win. A lot of relevant footage was actually left on the cutting room floor.”

As Ant and Dec attempted to manage the unfolding events, Dec assured viewers, ‘We’ll address this – we’re going to talk to Jimmy about it later, and we’ll be sure to get back to you as well.’
