The I'm A Celebrity drama keeps on going, after winner Adam Thomas has alleged that David Haye sent him a 'disturbing' voice note.
It was an explosive final for the All Star ITV series in South Africa, which saw Thomas crowned king of the jungle.
Rather than being a celebratory night, his feuds continued with ex-Premier League footballer Jimmy Bullard and former boxer David Haye, with the pair being accused of 'bullying' behaviour on the reality tv show.
Campmate Gemma Collins was furious on his behalf: "What a show up!!! Absolutely disgusted with Jimmy and David's behaviour, the biggest show up in TV history!!! What an embarrassment! To all the took part in the show it was a discredit to the production crew, cast, Ant and Dec biggest disrespect ever!" she fumed.

"Last night was meant to be a celebration instead it was very upsetting!! X Let's hope Adam will find some energy to absorb his victory!"
Thomas agreed with her, saying he felt the colour 'drain from his face' when it was announced he had won, instead of being a happy moment.
Opening up on The Thomas Bro's podcast he hosts alongside his brothers, Scott and Ryan Thomas, Adam alleged: "The most disturbing is that I look at David and even after the show and after everything he did, you know he sent me a voice note and was like: 'Oh mate, what a great show that was. I'm so happy you won. Congratulations.'"
He said he wanted to draw a line under it, according to The Mirror, so replied: "I just sent him a message back just saying, you know: 'I think this is where we draw the line and I hope that you find happiness bro, but I'm done.' The relationship with me and David is even after the camp, even after he told me [out of camp]: 'You're the nicest guy I've ever met and I just wanted to break you', like, it's cool. He apologised. I moved on."
He added: "You know, we had voice messages back and forth and we'd just been bantering and having a laugh. I'd just put it all to bed. I think for David and some of the campmates that have come out and been on the live show and everything, I feel like it's just a show for them. It's entertainment. It's fun. For me, it's not about entertainment. I'm not playing a character or here for anyone else's agenda. I'm just here to have a laugh and have fun and enjoy this experience."
Thomas also confessed he wouldn't go back on the show even for '£10 million' and claimed it had left him feeling 'dead inside and numb' and had 'eaten away at his soul'.
"I think you can see at the end of it, I felt like I was just in the mist of it all and it wasn't even about me."
During one clash, Haye called Thomas 'useless' when he said no to a trial for medical reasons, while Thomas and Bullard clashed over Jimmy quitting a trial midway through which put him at risk of elimination.
Bullard alleges that Thomas was shouting 'C-bombs' at him, in an exchange hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confessed were 'unbroadcastable'.
Tyla has reached out to ITV and David Haye's representatives for comment.
