Adam Thomas: Haye Pushed Me to My Limits

has revealed  'broke me and pushed me to my limits' while filming ... Get Me Out Of Here . 

The actor, 37, opened up about his 'tough' experience in the jungle in a candid Instagram post on Sunday after

Adam said he struggled 'physically, mentally and emotionally' during his stint on the hit series and during some parts he 'didn’t recognise himself.'

Sharing a photo looking upset in his hammock, the Waterloo Road star revealed his 'arthritis really took its toll' and he struggled to 'hide the pain'. 

He wrote: 'Not going to lie, this picture breaks my heart, as I know on the inside what I was dealing with and truth be told I thought it was all my fault. I now know that’s not the reality…

'My time in I’m a Celebrity South Africa was one of the toughest things I’ve ever been through, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

'Watching it back hasn’t been easy at all. There were moments I felt pushed to my absolute limit, and if I’m honest, times I didn’t even recognise myself.'

Adam was diagnosed with autoimmune psoriatic arthritis in 2023 and went on to open up about his 'biggest fight'.

He continued: 'Living with arthritis is something I don’t really talk about, as much as I should do…but in there it really took its toll. 

'My biggest fight was pretending to put on a brave face and trying to hide the pain! that can be exhausting within itself. There were days my body just didn’t want to keep going, but I did.

'I won’t sit here and say I handled everything perfectly, because I didn’t. I wish I spoke up for myself sooner. I wish I stood my ground instead of trying to keep the peace, but I’ve learned that being kind doesn’t mean being weak, and sometimes it takes going through tough moments to find your voice.'

Adam concluded by saying he is in a 'better place now' and that he is proud he didn't quit I'm A Celebrity and has since spoken to David, who has apologised to him.

He said: 'Since coming out, I’ve taken time to process everything, and I’m in a much better place now. I let go of the anger, had the conversations I needed to have, and chose peace.

'What I’m most proud of, is at times like this I wanted to walk, I wanted to quit but I didn’t. Even when I wanted to walk away, even when it felt like too much, I never give up! and that means everything to me.

'He broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits, and I’ve told David this and he’s apologised and that’s that! I’ve moved on now, am not one to hold a grudge.

'But thank you for all your lovely messages and all the kind words ❤️.

'We all face people and situations that try to break us, but sometimes those moments are what rebuild you stronger than ever. Be kind.'
