The I’m A Celebrity… South Africa final was a gut-wrenching spectacle, with Adam Thomas crowned winner amid chaotic clashes. David Haye emerged as the clear loser, derailing the show with his insufferable ego.
A Battle of Male Egos
The spin-off series finale delivered uncomfortable chaos, reminiscent of Celebrity Big Brother’s problematic days. It quickly became a battle of male ego, with David Haye at the center. Haye, who was evicted earlier amid bullying claims, seemed hell-bent on ruining the final.
Tensions Between Adam and Jimmy
Adam Thomas landed in another row with Jimmy Bullard, who quit mid-challenge. Bullard called Adam’s behavior intimidating, dividing the camp. Their reunion was tense, with Jimmy frantic and Adam deflated. Adam apologized, but Haye’s unwarranted interventions escalated the situation, even causing Ant and Dec to lose their cool.
Haye’s Villainous Role
From the start, Haye revealed his worst self—calling Beverly Callard “dead weight” and making relentless digs at Adam. His attitude was appalling, yet he finished third. The final, meant to celebrate Adam’s win, was overshadowed by Haye’s behavior, making for sad television.
Adam deserved his win for his resilience. Despite a flawed elimination system, he triumphed. I’m A Celebrity… South Africa is available on ITV Hub.
