David Haye questioned whether Adam Thomas deserves to win I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa as the boxer interrupted the live finale on Friday.<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old called out from the audience to ask whether Thomas should win the show after calling campmate Jimmy Bullard \u201cthe c-word multiple times\u201d, with host Anthony McPartlin promising \u201cwe will get into all this later\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thomas has hit headlines since appearing on the ITV reality show for his feud with boxer Haye, who he said \u201cbroke\u201d him and pushed him to his limits, and for his\u00a0row with campmate\u00a0Bullard\u00a0for almost compromising his time on the show.<\/p>\n

The Waterloo Road star is among the final three contestants on the all-star show and will battle it out with fellow finalists Olympian Mo Farah and former football manager Harry Redknapp for the crown of the \u201cultimate legend 2026\u201d.<\/p>\n

Runner-up Craig Charles was awarded fourth place during the episode and said he \u201chad a ball\u201d during his time on the show, adding: \u201cI can\u2019t believe I got this far.\u201d<\/p>\n

The all-star show, which was filmed last autumn, saw the finalists face insects, reptiles and other creepy crawlies in a series of pre-recorded trials as they each fought to earn stars for their final jungle banquet.<\/p>\n

Mo screamed as he took on 70 snakes in his \u201cviper pit\u201d bushtucker trial while Redknapp took on five mystery boxes which saw him faced with hairless rats, frogs and insects.<\/p>\n

Charles was strapped to a board and lowered face-first into a pit full of rats as he used his mouth to retrieve stars, and Thomas took on an eating trial during which he was served a sheep\u2019s anus and vagina, as well as a tarantula.<\/p>\n

After watching Thomas\u2019 gruelling bushtucker trial, presenters McPartlin and Declan Donnelly asked Gemma Collins whether he did well and the reality star hailed him as her \u201chero\u201d and rooted for him to win.<\/p>\n

Haye then chimed in to question whether he deserved to win, with McPartlin agreeing that \u201cthere was a lot of stuff that was said that was un-broadcastable\u201d during Thomas\u2019 row with Bullard.<\/p>\n

It comes after Charles addressed the controversy on ITV\u2019s This Morning on Friday and said that Thomas\u2019 row with the former footballer was \u201cdeeply traumatic\u201d and that the broadcast was \u201cwatered down\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also claimed the whole argument was \u201cun-broadcastable\u201d and said: \u201cAdam was so wound up. He was so aggressive. It looked like he was going to attack Jimmy. He was dropping F bombs and C bombs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the episode, former Emmerdale star Thomas said that although there has been \u201ca lot of drama\u201d in the camp, he had the \u201cbest time\u201d on the show.<\/p>\n

McPartlin also joked that the \u201cscariest thing\u201d the celebrities have faced this series were \u201cDavid Haye\u2019s views about women\u201d, referencing the boxer\u2019s remarks on \u201cugly birds\u201d while discussing his girlfriend Sian Osbourne which left viewers in uproar.<\/p>\n

The hosting duo, nicknamed Ant and Dec, offered their \u201csupport and love\u201d to Coronation Street star Beverley Callard at the start of the broadcast, as she was unable to attend the live event.<\/p>\n

It comes after viewers saw the actress in tears following advice from medics to leave the reality show just days before the final for undisclosed health issues, which were later revealed to be the start of her breast cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Haye questioned whether Adam Thomas deserves to win I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa as the boxer interrupted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-415884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
