Overview
- Following Friday’s live final on April 24, where on‑stage rows overshadowed Adam Thomas’s win and led Sinitta and Gemma Collins to walk off, more than 1,000 viewers lodged complaints with Ofcom.
- Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly said on their Hanging Out podcast there was no car‑park confrontation with Jimmy Bullard, called the broadcast a “weird night of TV,” and argued Jimmy used Adam as “collateral damage.”
- Adam Thomas told his family podcast he felt exploited, labeled what he faced in camp as bullying, turned down ITV2’s Unpacked and other immediate interviews, and said the experience left him emotionally numb.
- David Haye disputed Adam’s account in a video statement, said more information will come to light, and is reportedly exploring legal action over ITV’s edit, which he claims harmed his reputation.
- ITV said its edit fairly reflected life in camp and emphasized its duty‑of‑care processes, as the fallout fuels broader scrutiny of editing choices and welfare safeguards on high‑pressure reality formats.
