Adam Thomas has been crowned king of the jungle in a tense live final of I’m A Celebrity... South Africa, staged in a London studio. The four finalists were Adam Thomas, Mo Farah, Craig Charles and Harry Redknapp, as viewers watched the verdict unfold in real time. The moment Thomas was announced as the winner came after a series of dramatic exchanges and high emotions that kept the studio buzzing.
The finale delivered drama from the start, including a clash between Thomas and boxer David Haye and a memorable moment when Jimmy Bullard’s and Thomas’s exchanges spilled over, prompting Sinitta and Gemma Collins to walk off set at one point. The public vote ultimately crowned Thomas, while Mo Farah, Craig Charles and Harry Redknapp completed the final lineup.
Thomas, who previously finished third on the regular show in 2016, faced a rollercoaster journey marked by confrontation and reconciliation. In the days following the finale, he acknowledged the toll of the experience, describing it as one of the toughest things he’s ever been through and revealing that Haye later apologised for the intensity of their clash. He also spoke openly about psoriatic arthritis, saying he hadn’t discussed it as much as he should but that the jungle took a significant physical and mental toll.
The emotional moments extended beyond the on-screen action. Craig Charles was visibly moved while defending Thomas during the heated exchange, underscoring the human side of a competition that often blends entertainment with personal struggle. Thomas’s victory was celebrated by supporters and seen as a testament to endurance under pressure, with him expressing gratitude to the public and hoping his story could inspire others facing health challenges to speak up and seek support.
