Overview
- The live reunion on Friday descended into on‑stage rows as Jimmy Bullard accused Adam Thomas of being abusive and David Haye goaded him, prompting interventions from Ant and Dec and some cast walk‑offs.
- On Wednesday, Thomas used his family podcast to reveal Haye sent him a congratulatory voice note after the show, which he rebuffed by saying he was done with the relationship.
- Thomas said the series left him feeling dead inside, described the live show as exploitative, and vowed he would not return even for £10 million.
- Regulator Ofcom confirmed 1,187 complaints focused mainly on alleged bullying of Thomas by Haye and Bullard during the final.
- ITV said its coverage fairly reflected events and disclosed Thomas won with 58% of the public vote, as separate reports said Haye and Bullard are exploring legal action over their portrayal.
