Adam Thomas accuses ITV exploitation and speaks out on camp bullying
The I’m A Celebrity winner reveals distressing experiences in the camp and shares a disturbing text, urging others to speak up.
Adam Thomas, the former Emmerdale actor and I’m A Celebrity winner, says ITV exploited him and subjected him to bullying during the show. He urges anyone going through the same to speak up, no matter what anyone else says, and mentions a disturbing text from David Haye as part of what he endured.
Thomas has described the camp experience as bullying, calling on others to come forward and insisting that viewers demand better treatment and protections for contestants. He highlights the pressure contestants face when cameras are always on and emphasizes the importance of support networks.
Despite his victory, he says the win left him feeling dead inside and recalls the finale moment when the colour drained from his face, underscoring the emotional toll of the contest.
He stresses that speaking out is essential to support others and to push for improved support structures within reality TV productions.
The conversation surrounding mental health in reality TV continues to grow as more former contestants come forward.
