David Haye's Dinner Heist Threat Escalates I'm A Celebrity Camp Warfare
In a dramatic turn on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, former world champion boxer David Haye, 45, has threatened to steal his rival camp's dinner after his team suffered yet another defeat in the Bushtucker Trials. The tension between Team Lion and Team Rhino reached boiling point during Tuesday night's episode, with viewers describing the atmosphere as a "literal battleground."
Team Rhino's Victory Sparks Friction
The conflict ignited when Team Rhino, including Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard, triumphed in the first challenge, Wicked Watering Hole, and proceeded to gloat over their win. David Haye, visibly frustrated, reflected in the Bush Telegraph: "We were a very tight team until someone stuck a fence across camp. That set a cat amongst the pigeons. It's changed the dynamic, it's them against us."
Matters worsened when teammates Sir Mo Farah and Seann Walsh returned empty-handed from the Cut Throat Cliff trial, while winners Beverley Callard and Sinitta openly declared they "couldn't wait" to rub their victory in David's face. The delivery of Team Rhino's meal—a warthog leg—only added salt to the wound, with cheers from across the fence further irritating Team Lion.
Haye's Bold Declaration of Intent
Fed up with the losses and banter, David Haye hatched a plan to intercept the food. He warned Adam Thomas: "Adam stop asking, we've realised something for you to get your goodies tonight, you're going to have to go across Team Lion airspace. I'm not snatching a bag, I'm just taking what belongs to us... If any food comes into our territory I'm going to take it and eat it."
Footage teased for Wednesday night's show showed the athlete climbing the dividing fence as a food package travelled across a zipwire, hinting at potential confrontation. Viewers took to social media to express their excitement, with one commenting: "The drama on Celebrity South Africa is reaching breaking point! The deepening divide between the Kingdoms has turned the camp into a literal battleground."
Seann Walsh's Mortifying Blunder Provides Comic Relief
Elsewhere in the episode, comedian Seann Walsh provided unintended comedy during the Cut Throat Cliff trial. When asked to finish the lyrics to Toto's 1982 song "Africa" with the line "I bless the rain down in...", Seann quickly buzzed in and shouted "Spain!" instead of the correct answer, "Africa."
Hosts Ant and Dec struggled to contain their laughter as they informed him he had to cut his own rope, leading to his fall. Back at camp, Beverley Callard recounted the blunder to her teammates, leaving them in hysterics. She said: "They sang the first bit... Seann went: Spain."
The episode highlighted the intense rivalry and personal dynamics shaping this all-star series, which continues to air on ITV1 and ITVX. With David Haye's dinner heist threat looming, camp tensions show no signs of abating, promising more explosive moments ahead.
