David Haye has sparked outrage among viewers of I'm A Celebrity...South Africa after threatening to steal the rival team's dinner. The former boxer, 45, is a member of the Lions team alongside Harry Redknapp and Ashley Roberts. Following a task loss, Haye declared his intention to take the Rhinos' food, which was lowered into camp.
Haye's plan was met with immediate disapproval from campmate Sir Mo Farah, who urged him to let the Rhinos keep their winnings. 'Technically, they did win it,' the Olympian said. However, Haye remained defiant, stating, 'This is the Lions' lair, anything coming in here is getting eaten.'
Coronation Street star Craig Charles, overhearing the conversation from the other side of the fence, questioned Haye's intentions: 'You're not really going to steal the bag, are you? You can't steal the bag off our girls who just won the challenge!' Despite his threats, Haye was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempt.
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration. One wrote, 'David Haye can be the first to go.' Another commented, 'David Haye stealing the other team's food, oh he IS a sore loser.' A third added, 'If David Haye even threatened to steal my hard-earned food, I would burn that camp to the ground.'
Elsewhere in the episode, Gemma Collins broke down in tears but was comforted by Adam Thomas. She later composed herself and attempted a trial against Scarlett, though she lost. Collins admitted to Jimmy Bullard that she had tried her best, while telling producers, 'You're trying to kill me.'
I'm A Celebrity...South Africa airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
