JOSIE Gibson launched a blistering attack on David Haye live on Good Morning Britain – accusing the boxer of showing his “dark side” amid his I’m A Celeb clash with Adam Thomas.
The presenter and reality TV queen – who starred in the 2023 jungle series finishing fourth – was on Thursday’s ITV daytime show to talk about her own programme, How To Clean Up For Cash.
Though talk quickly turned to her pal Adam Thomas, and his rough experience on I’m A Celeb‘s latest All Stars series.
Adam, 37, was crowned the Ultimate Legend on Friday night after furious arguments broke out on-screen between him, David and Jimmy Bullard.
It’s after David and Jimmy argued the fight had been unfairly edited.
During their time in camp, in scenes which were filmed last year but aired this month, Emmerdale alum Adam was embroiled in a bullying row with David.
as player gambles £82k on question… could you get it?
He struggled in the jungle with David’s constant jibes, but said he didn’t tell producers about how he was feeling as he attempted to power through.
David was slammed as a bully by viewers of the show after he took aim at Adam multiple times in camp – including criticizing him for not offering to take part in a trial due to illness.
Now Josie, 41, has had her say after being quizzed on the situation.
She admitted “lovely” Adam and his brothers Scott and Ryan were her mates, and the “kind of guys you’d like your daughter to bring home”.
Addressing Adam’s situation directly she said: “What David Haye did to him is the dark side of fame.
“He saw him [Adam] as a winner and tried to play with his mind.
“It’s just not fair, it’s not right”.
On Friday, the I’m A Celeb finale was hit with 1,000 Ofcom complaints amid the bullying row.
Celebs have been quick to take sides, with David’s ex Una Healy publicly siding with Adam.
