I'm A Celebrity...South Africa's Adam Thomas recalls car accident
I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star Adam Thomas was in a car accident on Saturday (14.03.26).
Adam Thomas' car was ploughed into.
A mum panicked and "bawled" after her vehicle accidentally smacked into the side of the 37-year-old actor's expensive motor in a car park on Saturday (14.03.26).
On the latest episode of the At Home with the Thomas Bros podcast, Waterloo Road star Adam told his siblings, Coronation Street alum Ryan Thomas, 41, and 37-year-old Love Island star Scott Thomas: "So, I was having a really good day, the sun was shining.
"It was a Saturday, I drove to B+Q, and as I am reversing out of the car parking space, a car literally just goes into the side of my car.
"I just remember it happening, and I just grabbed my steering wheel, took a big deep breath, and I thought, 'It’s fine.'
"And I got out the car, there was this lady, and she had the kids in the car, and she looked at my car, and she was like, ‘I’m so sorry.'
"I don’t know why, but my car wasn’t as damaged as her car was. And I just remember looking at her car, and then I looked at her, and she just started bawling. I think because she saw my car and how expensive it might have been.
"She just started bawling, bless her, and she's like, 'Look, I’m gonna go park up and make sure the kids are OK, and then I’ll come back and get your details."
However, Adam graciously let the woman off the hook.
The I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star continued: "And I was just like, 'Darling, don't worry about it. I don't need your details, just sort your car out.' And, yeah, it's all sorted."
Love Island: All Stars 2025 contestant Scott then asked if his brother's car was all right, to which Adam replied: "Yeah, it was fine, it's got a little bit of a scratch on it!"
The accident came a week after Adam broke down in tears after he admitted having a lack of self-belief.
The star said on a recent episode of the At Home with the Thomas Bros podcast: "When you look at the house that I’ve got, the cars that I’ve got, the life that I’ve created for myself and yet I still don’t believe in myself.
"There’s days where I walk down the stairs in this house and I think, f****** hell, I’m so grateful, I’m so lucky, and I feel guilty because of it.
"I’m like, why do I deserve this? Why do I deserve a beautiful wife?"
Adam - who has been married to Caroline Daly since 2017, and has a son named Teddy, 11, and a daughter called Elsie, seven, with her - then broke down in tears as he questioned: "Why do I deserve this perfect family?"
He continued: "And that’s the one thing that just beats me up sometimes because I'm like, 'Why me?' I'm no different to anybody else.
"And I suppose that that’s the one thing I’m chasing, is the self-belief and the confidence."
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2016 campmate then acknowledged: "On paper, the life I’ve created for myself is ridiculous.
"And the job that I’ve got, it’s amazing, but there’s just that one thing inside of me."
But added: "I just doubt myself so much. And just the over procrastinating, like, 'I’m no good at this, I’m no good at that, I’m not a good friend, I’m not a good husband, sometimes I’m not a great dad.
"And, you know, not necessarily wanting to further my career. So what I'm doing now is really just trying to find out what it is.
"I’m everyone else’s best friend, and I will always big everyone up and tell them how great they are, and I just don’t do that for myself."
