's has taken another cruel swipe at co-star as he claimed he is 'weak' in new rant. 

The boxer, 45, and the Waterloo Road star, 37, had a fractious relationship during their time together in the South African jungle, which was filmed in September last year.

David has been accused of 'bullying' after a series of swipes towards Adam were aired, which, in one instance, saw him brand the actor 'useless' for excusing himself from a trial due to his health. 

He took another vile swipe at Adam on social media on Tuesday night, and Adam has revealed he is now receiving therapy following their jungle run-in.

Now in a new interview with The Sun, David has described Adam as 'weak' and like a 'chihuahua' as he opened up about their explosive relationship. 

He said: 'Adam's like a kind of chihuahua. I'm more of a doberman or a pit bull or something. He's the chihuahua. He doesn't need therapy. He needs to do some push-ups, he needs to get out there and get in amongst other males who are powerful.

'I don't think it's bullying. If a few comments breaks him, how soft is he? How weak, how brittle-spirited is he'. 

I'm A Celebrity's David Haye has taken another cruel swipe at co-star Adam Thomas as he claimed he is 'weak' in new rant

The boxer, 45, and the Waterloo Road star, 37, had a fractious relationship during their time together in the South African jungle, which was filmed in September last year

Former Emmerdale actor Adam has autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis and struggled with fatigue and dehydration in the jungle. 

But David insisted: 'I didn't know about it, but I couldn't care less. Everyone's got something. Adam was jumping around, dancing. I think whatever the trial was, he didn't like the sound of it, so he's lying in bed, so I gave him some s*** about that.'

The boxer went on to reveal that since leaving the jungle he has watched Adam and his two brothers Scott and Ryan's TikTok videos which he claimed are 'feminine'. 

The new chat comes hours after Adam opened up to brothers Scott and Ryan on their At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast and emotionally said the row 'f***ed' with him.  

Breaking down in tears, Adam said: 'It was like being back in school again and although it wasn't physical bullying or anything like that, and I'm not saying it's bullying, but he was just mind f***ing me. 

'And I just never stuck up for myself whilst I was in there and I was like "s**t bro, I wish I stuck up for myself". That was beating me up more than anything.'

Adam also said: 'I'm not the same person, like I know for a fact I am not the same person as I was when I went into the jungle to when I came out. It's changed me and that's no over exaggeration. 

'I'm in therapy now because, like it's f***ed with me mentally because I just thought, "How is this happening? I'm a 37-year-old man". I'm like, "How am I letting some other person do this to me in here?"'

He continued: 'I think, in a different environment, on the outside if this happened to you, you'd go, "Oh alright, he doesn't like me, I'm going to leave the situation", but because you're in an environment like that, there's nowhere to hide. You just have to grin and bear it.' 

He said: 'Adam's a chihuahua, I'm more of a doberman, he doesn't need therapy, he needs to do some push-ups, he needs to get out there and get amongst other males who are powerful'
