I'm A Celebrity star Sinitta stood up for co-stars David Haye and Jimmy Bullard on GMB on Monday - as she branded winner Adam Thomas 'angry and aggressive'

The dramatic live final saw Emmerdale and Waterloo Road actor Adam Thomas crowned as 'I'm A Celebrity... Legend'

'It did feel like bullying to me. we've lost why we're here now. now it does look like we're bullies. 

'Yes, it was over the top. Adam was angry and aggressive, they couldn't show the whole thing. 

'I'm a sensitive person, shouting and swearing in a negative way, lots of people pepper their language, I can handle that, I don't do that. 

'When you're angry, using the bad swear words, to me, that feels like there is going to be a fight.'

She added: It all happened afterwards. I'm an ambassador for anti bullying, I've grown up with people not wanting me to be there. I know what it's like. 

'I don't tolerate it. I'm brave standing up for other people.

'With somebody else, my courage comes in, because it was the teasing behind my back, acting sad, getting in trouble, I didn't feel like I needed to protect.

'I definitely would have, there was no bullying there was boisterous testosterone. It wasn't bullying.'

Elsewhere, fellow I'm A Celebrity star Gemma Collins .

The former TOWIE star, 45, stormed off stage with Sinitta during the live finale after Jimmy accused eventual winner Adam Thomas of being 'abusive, aggressive and intimidating', while David exploded into a tyrannical rant.

The All Stars series has been plagued with bullying rows and controversial spats between feuding cast mates, with David accused of targeting Adam, while Jimmy claimed he was 'intimidated' by the actor in a 'C-word' littered spat.

In a video taken during the final, David and Jimmy revealed they had been kicked out of the final by bosses, with David alleging the reason was 'for trying to tell the truth.'

Gemma made her feelings clear, sharing the video and making her feelings clear by writing: 'Good job. Behaviour was disgusting for the rest of the cast right move was made as we all felt so uncomfortable'.

David was seen in the clip obtained by The Sun, saying: 'We've been kicked out the show. What's that about? Genuinely. Jimmy tell them what happened?'

Jimmy then replied: 'We got kicked out', and when asked why by the fan with the camera, David responded: 'For trying to tell the truth.'

Sinitta defended her co-stars Jimmy Bullard and David Haye amid drama involving the pair and Adam

Attendees of the finale have shared shocking details, with claims Adam was seen ripped up his crown and throwing the mascot to the ground after David 'goaded him' in unseen footage from the I'm A Celeb final.

Adam who was voted the winner, had the opportunity to speak to Jimmy, after allegedly calling him the 'C-word' in an explosive clash when the footballer called 'I'm A Celebrity' in one of the trials, which left Adam in danger of going home.

Gemma and Sinitta stormed off stage as Jimmy went around each campmate to ask if they thought Adam's behaviour was 'aggressive and abusive'.

Now it has been claimed that in unseen footage from the night, Adam 'ripped his crown off his head and threw it to the ground'.

The move allegedly came after David 'goaded Adam', according to The Sun, with the boxer reportedly telling the Emmerdale actor: 'You're not a worthy winner.'

It has been reported that Jimmy is said to be planning to take legal action against ITV and was using the finale to build up evidence.

Elsewhere The Sun claimed Gemma, a close friend of Adam, called David 'a nasty b*****d' and said the boxer and footballer Jimmy were 'an embarrassment to reality TV'.

Jimmy was spotted glancing at his phone during the live finale on Friday, with a source claiming he was looking at notes as well as possibly recording the clash to back up his claims.

They said: 'Proving that Adam's behaviour was abusive, aggressive and intimidating is the key to Jimmy's legal case against ITV because that behaviour is in breach of the contract.

The Daily Mail has contacted ITV and representatives for Adam, David and Gemma for comment.
