Sinitta<\/a> has shed light on what she felt really happened between David Haye and Adam Thomas<\/a> on I’m A Celeb, following the pair’s ‘bullying’ row. During the recent series of I’m A Celebrity<\/a>… Get Me Out Of Here All Stars, the boxer was accused of bullying Adam by fans.<\/p>\n

David was at the centre of growing controversy in the jungle <\/a>after taking aim at the Emmerdale <\/a>actor last week when Adam ruled himself out of taking part in the Termite Terror trial as he wasn\u2019t feeling well. David branded Adam, who suffers from psoriatic arthritis<\/a>, as “useless”. The boxer later doubled down on his comments and denied he “bullied” Adam.<\/p>\n

Talking on Good Morning Britain<\/a>, Sinitta seemed to agree with David. She said: “It made for great telly, but I have to say, I was there and we all got on so well. It’s a shame for all of us.”<\/p>\n

She added that she didn’t see any bullying and felt that Adam had “goaded” David. “There was no bullying,” the singer said. “And if you remember, when there were the two separate camps, it was actually Adam goading David saying ‘we’ve got this, we’ve got that’.”<\/p>\n

The star acquiesced that maybe David’s banter was taken too far and might have upset Adam but denied that any bullying took place, claiming that if it had, she wouldn’t have let it continue. “It’s this thing where it can go too far with teasing and someone gets upset. But there were no feelings of anyone being bullied. Because I wouldn’t have been able to tolerate that.”<\/p>\n

On Friday\u2019s (17 April) show, fans watched on as he asked to sit out for the latest Bushtucker trial after complaining of feeling dehydrated, something that irritated his co-star, who branded him \u201cuseless\u201d in uneasy scenes.<\/p>\n

“Not well? What’s wrong with him? He’s a grown arse man,” he spat. “Why aren’t we forcing this dude to go and do it? Coincidentally, every time there’s something to do, he’s not feeling well!”<\/p>\n

Many of their campmates rushed to defend the 37-year-old including Gemma Collins<\/a>, Scarlett Moffatt and even hosts Ant and Dec. Adam later revealed that he had gone to therapy after doing the show as he was struggling with not having stood up for himself.<\/p>\n

Following the show, there was also drama about the stars’ Whatsapp<\/a> Group. Reportedly, one of the celebs was selling stories about another and Craig Charles previously told GMB<\/a> : “I’ve not been that engaged with the WhatsApp group because someone in the group is selling stories from the WhatsApp group to the newspapers.”<\/p>\n

Addressing the speculation, Sinitta claimed she had been accused of selling stories about Gemma, who she had clashed with on the show. “I’m supposed to have sold stories about Gemma, but I haven’t done that,” she laughed. “I don’t know enough about her to sell anything. If I was going to do that, I might have chosen someone I know better.”<\/p>\n

Sinitta and Gemma had a small row after the singer told the TOWIE star that she thought it was a “joke announcement” when Gemma was unveiled as Mama Morton in a West End production of Chicago. She told the GC that she thought Gemma was like “Zsa Zsa Gabor” in that she was famous but “didn’t do anything”. Gemma took offence to the comments, later telling pal Adam how upset she was.<\/p>\n

Adam has also been involved in another row. He was recently seen kicking off at Jimmy Bullard after the footballer quit the show mid trial, putting Adam at risk. In the trial, the pair who completed the task last would be sent home – as Jimmy was Adam’s pair, him quitting could have sent Adam home. Adam kicked a door and yelled at Jimmy, who in turn told Adam he was “pathetic”.<\/p>\n

After the majority of the public took Adam’s side, Sinitta said on social media that ITV<\/a> edited out one of the insults he hurled at Jimmy. She said: \u201cIt was a big argument, I can hear c-word c-word shouting c-word you c-word.” But ITV have said what was aired was an “accurate and fair representation of events”.<\/p>\n
