I’m A Celebrity’s Scarlett Moffatt fights back tears as she slams her campmates for ‘ruining’ Adam Thomas’ winning ‘moment of glory’

I’m a Celebrity’s Scarlett Moffatt broke down in tears as she accused her campmates of ‘ruining’ Adam Thomas’ ‘moment of fame’.

The Gogglebox star, 35, opened up after ITV’s Unpacked on Friday, where he spoke out in support of Adam, who was crowned the Jungle King.

Adam failed to appear on Unpacked following a confrontation with rivals Jimmy Bullard and David Haye that turned chaotic during the final.

Former footballer Jimmy accused Adam of being ‘abusive, aggressive and intimidating’ during an abusive argument on the pre-recorded show last year, before boxer David claimed he was playing the victim.

Adam and David had a testy relationship during their time together in the woods, which was filmed in September last year; David was accused of ‘bullying’ the soap star after branding him ‘useless’ for exempting him from a hearing due to his health.

Following the shock moment, Unpacked hosts Kemi Rodgers and Sam Thompson asked campmate Scarlett how she felt about the results.

The Gogglebox star opened up on ITV’s next show Unpacked last night, where he spoke out in support of Thomas, who was crowned the Jungle King.

The actor, who was accompanied by Gemma Collins, Sinitta and Ashley Roberts, said: ‘I hope Adam enjoys it. ‘He’s been through so much and I hope he can take some time because I feel like maybe he doesn’t think he deserves it.’

An emotional Scarlett later added: ‘He deserves it. It was hard there, it was amazing, and he was a friend to all of us.

‘And it’s really disheartening that he didn’t get that moment of glory and well done to Mo, Harry and Craig.’

During the live finale, presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly struggled to keep the situation under control as Gemma Collins and Sinitta stormed off stage in anger.

The Geordie duo gave Jimmy the opportunity to speak out after Adam allegedly called him the “C-word” in an explosive confrontation when he pulled the plug on the show at the start of last year.

Jimmy admitted that he had to leave due to personal reasons and that he would not receive his full salary if he did not perform ‘I’m a Celebrity’ on the competition.

‘Listen, Adam and you all may be mad at me and I totally threw him under the bus, I understand and I’m going to wear this,’ Jimmy said. ‘But I don’t stand for someone being abusive and aggressive and scary, I don’t stand for that.’

Inviting Ant and Dec to share their views on the matter, Jimmy said: ‘You [pointing to the hosts] We were there and you showed none of it [footage].’

Adam failed to appear in the Unpacked spin-off after a confrontation with rivals Jimmy Bullard and David Haye turned chaotic during the episode.

Following the moment, Unpacked hosts Kemi Rodgers and Sam Thompson asked campmate Scarlett how she felt about the results, and Scarlett admitted it was ‘tough’.

“You didn’t show any of your C-bombs, that’s a freedom,” Jimmy fumed.

Ant argued: ‘The reason we haven’t released the C-bomb is because it’s unbroadcast. I was there and didn’t think it was scary. ‘I was there, Jim.’

When the man got the chance to speak he said: ‘I take full responsibility for my actions and yes, emotions were definitely running high at that moment.

‘I have nothing but love for Jimmy at that moment. I have apologized to Jimmy many times and I take everything he has said into consideration and all I can do is apologize.

‘I don’t want to show myself this way and I have never shown myself this way before or after. ‘I’m sorry Jimmy.’

‘That’s a funny way of showing it,’ David chimed in, before Ant and Dec angrily told him to cut it off.

David continued: ‘I like to say it how I see it, I like to keep it real and what I see is a lot of editing to make this poor guy look pretty. [pointing to Adam] He should be the victim so that the people will support him.

‘We all joked back and forth, most of it stopped on their end. But I think it’s time for the truth.’

Sinitta jumped off the stage and shouted at the audience: ‘Guys, you weren’t there, I was there and it was aggressive and abusive, we were shaking.’

Jimmy shouted in the background: ‘You can’t be aggressive, abusive and scary, it doesn’t matter if Adam apologizes. I won’t take you [Ant] You can’t say that by saying it isn’t offensive, abusive, or scary. Show it, let everyone watch, let’s play now!’

Ant and Dec concluded: ‘Okay, let’s leave it at that. ‘We’ll agree to disagree with Jim.’
