David Haye Faces Backlash Over 'Sexist' Comments on I'm A Celebrity All Stars

David Haye has been accused of sexism and misogyny after making controversial remarks about women's appearances on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! All Stars. The former boxer, 45, described his girlfriend Sian as having the 'personality of a proper ugly bird', sparking outrage among campmates and viewers.

During a discussion in the South African camp, Haye elaborated on his views, claiming that 'ugly girls' develop personalities to compensate for their looks, while 'super-pretty girls' are often 'idiots' because they don't need to work on their character. His comments left fellow contestants Scarlett Moffatt and Ashley Roberts baffled, with Moffatt telling him he was 'talking sh*t'.

Beverley Callard, another campmate, called Haye's remarks 'sexist rubbish' and quipped that while Haye had 'hit the jackpot' with his girlfriend, she had 'got the booby prize'. Viewers on social media also slammed the boxer, with some labelling him a 'misogynist' and others saying his comments were 'disgusting'.
