David Haye has unleashed a scathing attack on I’m A Celeb South Africa winner Adam Thomas, branding him ‘fake’ while continuing to clash over their controversial interactions on the show. 
The former boxer, 45, who was accused of bullying Adam during the show, took to Instagram to vent his frustration after a tumultuous week filled with accusations, insults, and public confrontations.
In a series of fiery posts, David hit out at the “sensitive morons” of the world, claiming that people are now being “hated for being real and loved for being fake,” while clearly referring to the fallout with Adam.
The tension between the two stars began during filming last year, but it’s now reached new heights as David faces backlash for his comments about women and the continuing bullying allegations.
A Storm of Controversy and Criticism
Adam had previously accused David of “breaking him” during filming, especially when he berated him for opting out of a trial due to feeling unwell. The situation escalated further during the I’m A Celeb live final, when David continued to mock Adam, leading to a heated exchange between the two men.
During the final, David confronted Adam, asking if he “deserved to win” after their arguments aired, sparking further tensions. David claimed much of their conflict had been edited out of the show. “There was a lot of that stuff cut out,” he said, before adding, “I’ve got nothing but love for Jimmy [Bullard], but I think Adam plays the victim.”
In response, Dec Donnelly quickly intervened, pointing out, “David, you weren’t even there!” as the audience erupted into laughter.
David’s Poll and Continued Defiance
In an attempt to gauge public opinion, David posted a poll on Instagram asking his followers whether they considered him a bully based on his behavior during the show. When 77% of respondents voted ‘yes,’ David responded angrily, saying, “So much for the sensible people. Is the world truly that full of sensitive morons?”
This wasn’t the first time David has addressed the issue publicly. He previously claimed that Adam had exaggerated the tension, accusing him of “playing the victim” throughout the show.
Plans to Sue ITV for £10 Million
Amid the ongoing fallout, David has reportedly instructed his lawyers to take action, with plans to sue ITV for what he claims is “irreparable damage to his brand” caused by the way he was portrayed on the show. He is demanding a full investigation into how the show was edited, and sources claim he is seeking £10 million in damages.
David believes that ITV’s editing made him out to be the “pantomime villain,” and he pointed to specific examples—such as a fat-shaming incident involving Gemma Collins—to illustrate how the network manipulated his image.
A source close to the boxer said: “David is absolutely furious. He feels ITV deliberately portrayed him in a negative light, and he’s determined to fight back. He’s been in talks with lawyers, and now he’s ready to take ITV to court.”
The Fallout and The Future
The ongoing dispute has not only affected David’s relationship with Adam but also his career. Reports suggest that potential brand deals and even a Netflix show that David was in talks for have now fallen through due to the controversy surrounding the show.
On top of this, David’s comments about his girlfriend, Sian Osborne, who he described as having “the personality of a proper ugly bird,” have also sparked backlash. While David defended his comments as being misunderstood, others have accused him of making “sexist” remarks.
Despite the uproar, David’s girlfriend later defended him, stating that his comments were meant as a compliment. She claimed that David’s words reflected her character, rather than her looks, and that the controversy was being blown out of proportion.
A Divisive Legacy
David’s divisive presence on I’m A Celeb has left many questioning his role in the show and whether the entire situation was manipulated for dramatic effect. However, as the dust settles, it seems clear that David is not backing down anytime soon.
He remains determined to clear his name, taking a bold stand against ITV’s portrayal of him, while also expressing frustration with the public’s perception of his behavior.
As the legal battle looms, fans of I’m A Celeb can only wait to see what happens next in this explosive feud. One thing is for sure: this drama is far from over.
