Adam Thomas has given an insight into his relationship with I'm A Celeb campmate David Haye following the chaos of the live finale.
It was a drama-filled conclusion for the All Star ITV series in South Africa, which saw Thomas crowned 'King of the Jungle'.
Rather than being a celebratory night, the feud with ex-Premier League footballer Jimmy Bullard and former boxer David Haye continued, with the pair being accused of 'bullying' behaviour on the reality TV show.
Campmate Gemma Collins was furious on Thomas' behalf, writing on social media: "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!"

In his latest update, Thomas appeared to agree, 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 At Home With 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.'"
Thomas said he wanted to 'draw a line' under it 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 midst of it all and it wasn't even about me," the actor said.
During one clash, Haye called Thomas 'useless' when he said no to a trial for medical reasons, while Thomas and Bullard clashed over the ex-footballer quitting a trial midway through, which put him at risk of elimination.
Bullard alleged that Thomas shouted 'C-bombs' at him in an exchange that hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confessed was 'unbroadcastable'.
