Gemma Collins has broken her silence following the explosive I’m A Celebrity… South Africa final as she called out the ‘absolutely disgusting’ behaviour shown by two of her campmates. The former The Only Way Is Essex star was amongst the celebrities who reunited with Ant & Dec on Friday (April 24) for the live final which saw Adam Thomas crowned the winner.
But following accusations of David Haye bullying Adam, 37, as well as Adam’s heated row with Jimmy Bullard over the Rancid Run trial, reality TV star Gemma stormed off the stage alongside 80s pop star Sinitta, who each appeared to be upset by the outburst.
Taking to her Instagram on Saturday (April 25), Gemma has now broken her silence on the previous night’s events, hitting out at her fellow campmates David and Jimmy for their ‘disgusting behaviour’. Sharing a message with her 2.3 million followers, the 45-year-old wrote: “Jimmy Bullard and David Haye should be absolutely DISGUSTED with THEMSELVES.”
Gemma then shared a video sat with her step-son Tristan. Speaking to the camera she said: “Good morning Tristan, we loved the I’m A Celebrity final last night but we were very upset wasn’t we? Tell everyone why we were upset.”
Tristan then said: “Because someone was bullying Adam.” Gemma then added: “And it was hard to see wasn’t it? And did it ruin our night? Upset us very much? And what has it taught you in life?.” Tristan then answered: “Never bully.”

The TV star then sent a message to Adam, who she formed a close friendship with during their time on the show, saying: “Adam, it was really difficult to sit there and watch you go through that last night. It was disgusting. And what a shame because, I mean the jealousy is real honey.”
Adam was recently diagnosed with arthritis and during the show he admitted he felt forced to defend himself to David, who labelled him as “useless” and claimed he “doesn’t like men like that.”
Earlier today, Adam broke his silence following his win with an emotional statement on Instagram. He wrote: “I walked through this journey with my heart first, no matter what came my way…It was not always easy, there were moments that could have broken me, but I stayed true to myself and that is something I will always be proud of.
“I have realised that when people try to dim your light, it says more about them than it ever will about you. This experience has shown me my strength in ways I never imagined. Not because of any title or recognition, but because I stayed kind, I stayed grounded and I stayed real.”
He added: “Family means everything to me, and there is one person who has been my rock through it all. Happy birthday to my Beautiful wife, you have stood by me when things were tough and reminded me of my strength when I needed it most. I would not be who I am without you.”
