📰 Full Story
A confrontation between former world heavyweight David Haye and actor Adam Thomas has dominated coverage of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa after a Friday (April 17) episode showed Haye publicly criticising Thomas for opting out of a Bushtucker Trial because he was “not feeling well,” saying the actor was “dehydrated” and calling him “useless.” Adam, who has spoken publicly about living with psoriatic arthritis, later posted that Haye “broke” him during the pre-recorded series.
Campmates and presenters reacted strongly: Ashley Roberts, Scarlett Moffatt and others said Haye went “too far,” while hosts Ant and Dec said his behaviour “crossed the line.” Over the weekend Adam urged kindness after receiving widespread support.
On Monday’s (April 20) episode Haye became the second contestant eliminated in a twist in which Ashley Roberts and others chose who to save; Haye then picked Gemma Collins to leave with him.
Haye has described his comments as banter and says he has apologised privately; the all‑star series — filmed in South Africa — concludes with a live final on April 24.
