The "explosive" row between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard that dominated the final of I'm A Celebrity … South Africa left Sinitta "visibly upset and shaken", the singer has said.
Thomas was crowned the winner of the ITV series in Friday night’s live finale, which saw the 37-year-old actor labelled "abusive, aggressive and intimidating" by former footballer Bullard.
Chaos ensued when David Haye, a former boxing champion, accused the show of editing footage to make Thomas look like a "victim".
After defending the actor, fellow contestants Sinitta and TV personality Gemma Collins walked off set.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Sinitta said the tense finale left her feeling "shaken".
The 62-year-old So Macho singer said: "I found it very uncomfortable and disturbing. It was very explosive, very aggressive.
"I was so visibly upset and shaken by it.
"I was saying to anyone who would listen: 'Why isn’t anyone stopping this? Please make it stop. This is not right’."
During the episode, Sinitta and Collins were asked by Bullard to weigh in on Thomas’s behaviour on the show.
After speaking up for the actor, the two stars left the set, with the former The Only Way Is Essex star remarking that Haye was "disgusting".
Writing on her Instagram story on Friday, Collins said: "Jimmy Bullard and David Haye should be absolutely DISGUSTED WITH THEMSELVES."
In a video obtained by The Sun, 45-year-old Haye can be heard saying he was kicked off the show for "trying to tell the truth".
Thomas has hit headlines since appearing on the all-star show for his feud with boxer Haye, who he said "broke" him and pushed him to his limits, and for his row with campmate Bullard for almost compromising his time on the show.
Bullard discussed their explosive row on the show, claiming Thomas dropped "c-bombs" which were not aired, and asked hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for their opinion as they had "front-row seats".
McPartlin disagreed that the exchange was aggressive and said: "No it wasn’t, I was there."
