David Haye is refusing to let his bitter feud with Adam Thomas subside, having created a scathing diss track aimed at his former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmate. The pair were embroiled in a bullying row during their time in the jungle, with viewers criticising Haye for his constant jibes at Thomas, including mocking him for not volunteering for a trial due to illness.
Tensions boiled over during the live finale last Friday, when furious arguments broke out on screen between Thomas, Haye, and Jimmy Bullard, after the former boxer and the footballer claimed the conflict had been unfairly edited. Now, Haye has taken matters a step further by releasing a song titled 'It's banter - the remix', in which he accuses Thomas of 'moaning', 'bitching', and 'crying', and claims he is still 'playing the victim'.
Diss Track Details
The track, which opens with a voiceover (it is unclear if Haye is singing himself), suggests that Thomas is 'rewarded more for the weaker you are' and jibes that ITV will likely give the Waterloo Road star his own show following his jungle torment. Haye repeatedly refers to Thomas as 'Mr Flaccid' throughout the song.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Haye captioned it: 'Chilling in @sunvalleycyprus when this banger landed. @kat_d_executor turned my full Adam Thomas reply into an R&B song, and honestly, it goes harder than the original!! Primary school banter has officially graduated. Hit play, stay till the end. Should I do all my responses as songs from now on?'
The track received mixed reactions, with Loose Women's Denise Welch commenting: 'Who's doing your PR David? Sack them.'
Adam Thomas's Response
Adam Thomas, meanwhile, is keen to move forward after the experience and has returned to set for the BBC drama Waterloo Road, where his character Donte Charles reappears. He has been on the show intermittently for over 15 years and shared a photo on Instagram showing filming underway in a classroom.
Thomas has said that I'm A Celebrity has been 'tarnished' for him following what he describes as an 'inescapable' bullying row, insisting he will never watch the show with his children again. Speaking on the At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast, he said: 'No one knows, even now, me explaining it, you'll never understand. I'll never understand. It's so hard to process everything I've been through. The fact that it's just been turned into entertainment for live TV, for a family show that I loved.'
He acknowledged the show's positive impact on his career, saying: 'I've got so much to thank this show for. 10 years ago, this show put me on the map. It was the first show I did that was reality, people got to see me for the very first time ever. I probably would never have the career I've had if it wasn't for this show so I owe a lot to this show.'
However, he added: 'That live show, I just felt like I'd just been exploited, and I think you can see it, at the end of it. I felt like I was in the midst of it all, and it wasn't even about me. I feel like I'm getting blamed and I had no control over the edit, how they were going to show me, how they were going to show other campmates, and yet I still feel like I'm being accused of that.'
