Spoiler warning: This article reveals the winner of the I’m A Celeb show<\/p>\n
Adam Thomas has been crowned the winner of I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa, earning the title of \u201cultimate legend 2026\u201d, after the live final show descended into chaos. <\/p>\n
The 37-year-old actor was voted the winner by public vote during the live final on Friday, with fellow finalists Sir Mo Farah in second place and Harry Redknapp in third.<\/p>\n
During the final, the former Waterloo Road star was accused of being \u201cabusive, aggressive and intimidating\u201d by former footballer Jimmy Bullard. <\/p>\n
The episode became chaotic after David Haye joined in the conversation to accuse the show of editing footage to make Thomas look like a \u201cvictim\u201d and, after defending the actor, Sinitta and Gemma Collins walked off set. <\/p>\n
Thomas has hit headlines since appearing on the all-star show for his feud with boxer Haye, who he said \u201cbroke\u201d him and pushed him to his limits, and for his row with campmate Bullard for almost compromising his time on the show.<\/p>\n

Bullard discussed their explosive row on the show, claiming Thomas dropped \u201cc-bombs\u201d which were not aired, and asked hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for their opinion as they had \u201cfront row seats\u201d.<\/p>\n
McPartlin disagreed that the exchange was aggressive and said: \u201cNo it wasn\u2019t, I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas responded by saying he took \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for his actions and he has \u201cnothing but love for Jimmy\u201d, but Haye interrupted the exchange and said: \u201cYou\u2019ve got a funny way of showing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The interaction spiralled into chaos after the boxer was then asked about some of his controversial comments on the show, and he said: \u201cI like to say it like I see it,\u201d and accused the show of editing footage in favour of Thomas.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe all had banter back and forth, and a lot of it was cut out from their side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Haye and Bullard then asked their fellow contestants to agree Thomas had been \u201cabusive, intimidating and aggressive\u201d in his row with Bullard.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sinitta and Collins defended the actor but eventually walked off set, with the former The Only Way Is Essex star commenting that Haye was \u201caggressive\u201d.<\/p>\n
The dramatic episode later saw Thomas crowned the winner by reality TV star Sam Thompson, who won the original series in 2023, and said being on the show was a \u201cblast\u201d. <\/p>\n
Reflecting on his time in the jungle, Redknapp, who came third, said he \u201cmet lots of nice people and really enjoyed it\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sir Mo hailed the experience as \u201camazing\u201d and \u201centertaining\u201d, and said he feels like he has made his family proud.<\/p>\n
Craig Charles was awarded fourth place during the episode, which saw the finalists face insects, reptiles and other creepy crawlies in a series of pre-recorded trials filmed last autumn as they each fought to earn stars for their final jungle banquet. <\/p>\n
