Adam Thomas is trying to move on following his I’m A Celebrity win and the chaotic drama that it involved – but appeared to have one last dig at the events. The Waterloo Road star was crowned this series’ Jungle Legend, but only after a huge fallout involving Jimmy Bullard and David Haye.

What was supposed to be a joyous moment had Adam looking downbeat and he reportedly threw his crown to the floor during the live event. But he now insists “crowns don’t really matter” as he shares happy moments with his son.

Moving away from the jungle mayhem, Adam is seen with a smile on his face again as he celebrates his son’s own accolades. Hugging into 11-year-old Teddy, Adam wrote on Instagram : “My boy came home this weekend with four trophies from his dance comps!!

The soap star celebrated his son’s achievements

“But honestly, it wasn’t even about the trophies… it was his face. Just pure happiness, proper proud of himself. That’s what winning should feel like, super proud of the boy.”

He then candidly added: “One thing I’ve learnt though is as you get older you start to realise, it’s not about trophies or crowns, none of that really matters. I already won a long time ago. Everything I need is right here.”

Adam’s jungle campmate Scarlett Moffatt was on hand to praise the youngster. In the comments section, the former Gogglebox star said: “Massive well done teddy.” Gemma Collins also liked the post.

It comes days after Adam looked despondent following his win. He had been accused of being “intimidating” after his kick-off in camp when he thought Jimmy Bullard had caused him to go home.

The mirky moments overshadowed what should have been a proud moment for the soap star. And things took such a turn that fellow I’m A Celeb star Ashley Roberts spoke of her anger and disappointment at how things panned out.

The Pussycat Dolls star, 44, was back alongside Amanda Holden on Monday morning’s Heart FM, where she explained: “It was unhinged. I felt like I was on The Jerry Springer Show.

“It was just unbelievable, people were walking off, hands were flying everywhere, there was yelling and emotions and crying…it was wild! It’s a shame because Adam did become the Legend, and I don’t think he was even able to enjoy it because of all the drama that went on.”

She continued: “He had a really tough time in there and it was unfortunate that they had a chance to discuss things as adults and maybe clear the air a little bit. Instead, it was yelling and just unfortunate behaviour.

“I was disappointed, my heart hurt a bit inside. There is so much going on the world and for us to then treat each other like that. We all went through this really tough experience and we all could have sat and discussed things like adult. It was live telly, it’s TV show and it’s supposed to be entertaining. I was a little bit disappointed by their behaviour.

“I was angry. I was seeing the way these men were speaking to each other and it made me really sad. It happened back in September and instead of having a reflective moment, it was more like we were still in September and the tensions were through the roof.

“I get that you wanna go there and say your piece. You should be able to say it from your point of view but it all just seemed really immature, and unfortunate and aggressive.”
