Adam Thomas accuses ITV of exploitation after chaos.

... winner says he felt exploited by during the show's explosive live final on Friday evening. 

The Waterloo Road actor's time at Kruger National Park was overshadowed by a volatile row with former footballer Jimmy Bullard and accusations of bullying levied at ex-boxer . 

But his unveiling as the pre-recorded show's winner during a live instalment, hosted by and  at London's Apollo Theatre, ended in chaos as Bullard and Haye reignited their feud with Thomas in front of a stunned studio audience. 

Reflecting on the experience with brothers Ryan and Scott during the latest instalment of their Thomas Bros podcast, the actor, 37, suggested his fallout with the two campmates was taken full advantage of as Friday's show progressed. 

He said: 'I think for David [Haye] and some of these campmates who have come out, I feel like it's just a show to them do you know what I mean? 

'It's entertainment. It's fun. And for me it's not about entertainment, I'm not playing a character, I'm not here for anyone else's agenda but my own, to have a f***ing laugh and enjoy this experience. 

'And I feel that's the most disturbing thing for me, looking at David, and even after the show and everything he did, he sent me a voice note saying "Ah mate, what a great show that was, so happy you won, congratulations." 

'I just sent him a message back and said look, I think this is where I draw the line, I hope you find happiness bro, but I'm done now.

'It's hard, the whole experience. That live show, I just felt like I'd just been exploited, and I think you can see it, at the end of it. I felt like I was in the midst of it all, and it wasn't even about me.'   

An emotional Thomas also described Haye's actions in camp as definite 'bullying' and claimed the former boxer left him in an emotionally vulnerable state after 'getting inside his head.'  

'What happened to me in camp was bullying, that is the matter of fact about it - it was bullying,' he said. 

'And I don't think it's fair, for people who were going through what I was going through in the real world, to pass it off as banter, because it's not. 

'And the reason why I didn't speak up for myself when I should have done is because when I was in camp, everyone was passing it off as banter, as "Oh, he's just doing it because he loves you." So I laughed it off. I laughed it off and pretended that it was alright. 

'I can see it from the other campmates' lens why it may seem like and not bullying, I understand it. But I'm telling you my truth, and how I felt in there, and it was bullying.' 

He added: 'I can also tell you that I spoke to David when I got out, and I asked him why. Why did you keep doing this to me? Why did you do it?  And he told me, "I've never met a nicer guy, I just wanted to break you." 

'If that isn't classed as bullying, then I don't know what is.'
