David Haye has broken his silence on his controversial behaviour in the I'm A Celebrity… South Africa camp, claiming there is 'no bad blood' between him and Adam Thomas. The former heavyweight champion faced backlash after branding his girlfriend an 'ugly bird' and calling Thomas 'useless' for refusing a Bushtucker Trial.
Adam Thomas, 37, who has psoriatic arthritis, said he was 'broken' by Haye's comments and shared a heartbreaking picture from the camp. He admitted he 'wanted to walk' but chose peace after Haye apologised. 'He broke me in there, he pushed me to my limits, and I’ve told David this and he's apologised and that's that,' Thomas wrote on social media.
Speaking after his exit alongside Gemma Collins, Haye said: 'No bad blood from my side. Look, I've been immersed in tough boxing gyms since I was ten years old. So when a grown man tells me that a fun TV show - where we're being paid handsomely every single day - is the hardest thing he's ever been through, it's just not a frequency I recognise.' He added he was 'on his best behaviour' and had 'said his piece' to Thomas.
Adam Thomas later urged fans to stop negative comments about Haye, saying: 'Let's just be kind people! I don't like seeing all the negative comments about David. I've made peace with it, let's just move on.' The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa series continues to air on ITV.
