Adam Thomas’ turbulent journey on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has taken yet another dramatic turn — with a fresh feud now seemingly brewing, this time with football legend Harry Redknapp.
The Emmerdale actor, 37, had already found himself at the centre of explosive clashes with boxer David Haye and former footballer Jimmy Bullard during his time in the South African jungle. But just as tensions appeared to ease following their exits, viewers were quick to spot signs of a new conflict emerging.
During Thursday night’s episode, the campmates took part in a breakfast challenge where they had to catch eggs from a fake hen. After successfully grabbing two at once, Adam proudly shouted to campmates that he had caught two eggs at the same time, joking that some people might call him “the eggspert.”
But Harry, 79, didn’t seem amused. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he appeared to mock Adam’s enthusiasm, suggesting he could have simply opened his mouth and caught one instead — a comment that didn’t go unnoticed by viewers.
Fans immediately reacted on social media, with many sensing tension. Some suggested Harry wasn’t a fan of Adam, while others felt the remark carried a sharper edge than simple banter. One viewer noted it felt like a snarky dig, while another bluntly claimed Harry clearly didn’t like him.
The moment added fuel to an already intense series for Adam, who has endured multiple emotional flashpoints inside the jungle.
Earlier in the show, he broke down in tears after receiving a voice message from his family. Struggling to hold back emotion, Adam described the moment as “magic,” clearly overwhelmed by hearing his loved ones amid the pressure of camp life.
The emotional vulnerability comes after his ongoing fallout with David Haye, which sparked accusations of “bullying” from viewers. Adam later revealed the experience deeply affected him, admitting on his podcast that the situation “messed with his head.”
He explained that while it wasn’t physical bullying, the psychological pressure got to him, saying he wished he had stood up for himself more at the time. Eventually, he admitted he reached a breaking point after repeatedly absorbing the comments.
Despite later saying David had apologised and calling him someone with “a heart of gold,” the boxer has continued to take swipes publicly — even branding Adam “weak” and comparing him to a chihuahua in contrast to his own “pitbull” mentality.
Adam’s health also became part of the controversy, as he struggled in camp due to psoriatic arthritis, leading him to withdraw from certain trials — something David openly criticised at the time.
Meanwhile, his fiery clash with Jimmy Bullard became one of the most explosive moments of the series. When Jimmy abruptly quit a trial, Adam lashed out in frustration, furious that the decision could cost him his place in the jungle. He later admitted he regretted how he reacted, explaining that he felt heartbroken at the thought of leaving because of someone else.
As the live final looms, Adam has since taken a more reflective tone. In a heartfelt message to his female campmates, he thanked them for their unwavering support, saying their encouragement helped him through moments of doubt and uncertainty.
He insisted he was never focused on winning the show, but rather on staying true to himself — adding that he refused to let anyone break him.
With tensions still simmering and a new rift potentially forming, all eyes are now on whether this latest friction with Harry Redknapp will explode — or if Adam can finally find peace before the jungle journey comes to an end.
