Ryan Thomas Admits to Being a D******d on Set

revealed a former  co-star told him off for 'cocky behaviour' on the set  - admitting 'I was an absolute d******d'.

The 41-year-old played Jason Grimshaw in the  soap from 2000 to 2016, with a brief return last year.

Speaking with brothers and on their podcast At Home With The Thomas Bros, Ryan reflected on his early days in Corrie.

It came after Adam, 37, opened up about his tumultuous time on ... .

Ryan said: 'Showbiz is a bit of a crazy world bro. 

'I'll even talk about myself, like growing up like, you know my ego and things I used to do growing up.

'But I was young kid growing up in the public eye and I was, I could say at times, I was actually a proper d******d.'

Adam responded: 'Yeah.'

From there, Ryan went on: 'And I wear my heart on my sleeve, I remember Charlie Dale pulling me to one side.

'He played Dennis in Corrie.

'He pulled me to one side in the green room and he said you're acting a little bit cocky and people are seeing it and it's not looking good.

'I was like yeah I needed that but the problem is now growing up in showbiz.

'Everyone's playing the game right?

'But the great thing about the game now is, have you noticed the game's changing.

'No-one wants to see the filtered version of anyone anymore, right?

'Everyone's seen the light, everyone can see through it, right.'

Charles Dale, 63, played Dennis Stringer - partner to Jason's mother Eileen Grimshaw - from 2000 to 2002.

It comes with the TV star breaking down and revealing he was in therapy after clashing with the athlete on the show.

Adam had a fractious relationship with boxer David, 45, during their time together in the South African jungle, which was filmed in September last year.

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

Speaking the At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast, Adam 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.'

Reflecting on David's swipes, Adam said: 'I just took it, and took it, and took it, until eventually it got to a point where I was like, "I'm literally at breaking point here".'

He added that David has since apologised to him as he told his brothers the boxer has 'a heart of gold' - however, David went on to swipe against Adam despite his apology.

The boxer claimed that his co-star was 'weak' in a new interview, doubling down on the bullying row and branding Adam a 'Chihuahua'.

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'.

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'.

David sparked bullying complaints from viewers when Adam, who suffers from autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis, told his campmates during last Friday's episode that he wasn't feeling well enough to participate in the Termite Terror trial.

The boxer took aim at him, and said: 'Who gives a s**t if he doesn't feel well. He's a grown-ass man. I don't like guys who are a bit useless.

'I hate them useless guys. He is useless.'

They clashed again when the camp was punished for Adam sneaking in chocolate for his campmates, with Adam suggesting that he wouldn't eat that night as a result.

However, David chimed in suggesting 'his portion should be a little bit smaller than everyone else’s' as he hit back against the camp for supporting him.

Adam confronted David over his reaction to his dinner portion, calling him over and saying: 'Right, me and you outside now.'

Irritated David responded: 'We got a lot less than we would have had,' as the dessert was served up, to which Scarlett Moffatt ended the row, saying: 'Leave him alone.'
