ADAM Thomas’s wife has branded Jimmy Bullard and David Haye ‘vultures’ as she slammed the ‘vile display’ during the I’m a Celeb final.
Adam, 37, was crowned the winner of the All Stars South Africa series during Friday’s live final, but his moment was spoilt after Jimmy and David caused chaos among the camp mates, as well as hosts Ant and Dec.
Adam’s wife Caroline – who he has been married to since 2017 – was in the audience with his brothers Ryan and Scott and was disgusted by what she witnessed.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Caroline didn’t mince her words, writing: “Our Legend, Our King. What should have been a night of celebration for everyone, turned into a glimpse of a real jungle, watching a pack of vultures attack!
“I have never ever seen anything like the vile display that was demonstrated live on national television last night, on what is supposed to be a loved family show full of laughter and fun!
“Not one bit of that was fun, or ‘banter,’ as a wife my heart is breaking and I will forever be horrified at what I had to sit and watch my husband go through.”
Caroline then paid tribute to her husband, who she shares children Teddy and Elsie-Rose with.
She wrote: “Even though Adam, the kindest, most loving person was breaking inside, he somehow found a strength to stay calm, composed and once again stand up for himself.
“So Congratulations my baby…on continuing to stay true to yourself, congratulations on not only winning the show, but winning the hearts of the nation.
“You showed everyone exactly what a real man should be, and the kind of values every parent should aim to raise their children with poise, dignity, empathy, honesty and simply a big heart.”
She continued: “You changed the narrative, Nice guys DON’T finish last! They come out on top!
“Never ever let anyone tear you down, I am forever proud to call you my Husband and Teddy and Elsie call you their Daddy!”
Caroline concluded: “So glad to close this chapter, one day we will look back and see how much strength this has brought you, until then I’m honoured to have the pleasure to hold your hand and be by your side.
“When you’re ready you will get the celebration you missed out on celebrating YOU surrounded by the people who love you and the ones who matter. Love you always.”
Caroline’s post comes after Adam paid tribute to her in his own post following the dramatic final.
In his own pointed remarks, he said he wasn’t going to let anyone ‘dim my shine’.
Meanwhile twin brother Scott also stood up for his sibling, as did Adam’s camp BFF Gemma Collins, who also branded Jimmy and David’s actions ‘vile’.
The drama during the live final meant Adam didn’t stay for the Unpacked spin off show winner’s chat, and instead was pictured looking downcast as he left the studios with his family.
Ant McPartlin – who clashed with Jimmy during the fiery exchange on the live show – was also seen leaving flanked by security as he came face to face with the former footballer outside.
Meanwhile, Craig Charles has taken aim at ITV for focusing on the controversy in the edits rather than the good times that were had, and Scarlett Moffatt was close to tears as she spoke out on Unpacked about Adam’s winning moment being “ruined”.
