Craig was joined by Sir Mo Farah and Harry Redknapp on This Morning, but Adam was noticeably missing. As his voice wavered, Alison stepped up and hugged Craig
The Red Dwarf star said: 'Since we've got back, the last few weeks, it's all been over social media that Harry, Mo and I were not there for Adam when he was getting bullied.
'Let me tell you a little story, it all started when they were the Rhinos, and me and Adam were Lions, and we were the underdogs - [they had] David Haye the boxer, Harry the gaffer, Ashley Roberts who was fit as a fiddle.
'You had me, a broken down TV star, Gemma Collins... but we won every challenge and we gave them dogs abuse, me and Adam, over the fence, ribbing them, jest and banter, we wrecked them.
'We were relentless, we poked the bear, and then David Haye came back at us - now, Adam gave as good as he got, he really did give as good as he got, he was laughing and we didn't realise he was being emotionally affected by it.
'He never told us, I asked him yesterday, "Well why didn't you tell us?" and he said, "I didn't want to appear weak". We didn't know.
David and Adam had a fractious relationship during their time together in the South African jungle, which was filmed in September last year
'ITV have got a duty of care, they have got 24/7 people on high definition close ups picking it all out, but they didn't think he was getting bullied enough to step in - they have a duty of care, they would have stepped in if they thought he was being bullied.
'We didn't see it until that final morning when I thought David got a bit nasty, I thought, "This is turning into bullying, this, now" and on that final morning, I found myself in the perfect position, voting people out, I saved Adam knowing that the other two were not going to pick David, thereby ensuring David went home.
'We were there for him, we didn't know the extent of his troubles.'
