David Haye has once again ignited controversy on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after making dismissive remarks about campmate Adam Thomas, who suffers from psoriatic arthritis. In a preview for tonight's episode, Thomas is seen saying he feels unwell, prompting the former boxer to angrily question, 'Not well? What's wrong with him? He's a grown arse man.'
Viewers were quick to criticise Haye's comments, with many pointing out that Thomas has an autoimmune disease that causes joint pain and stiffness. One viewer wrote, 'Get David out, for his sake and ours watching it,' while another said, 'David’s actually making me crash out I'm gonna rage.' Thousands agreed with a comment that said Haye is making the show 'unpleasant to watch.'
This latest incident follows earlier backlash over Haye's 'sexist' remarks about his girlfriend, Sian, whom he described as having 'the personality of a proper ugly bird.' He elaborated on his 'Ugly Duckling syndrome' theory, drawing further ire from fans.
Thomas has previously spoken about his condition, explaining that it causes 'a s**t-load of pain' and can affect his ability to perform simple tasks. The drama unfolds as Gemma Collins also struggles, uttering the show's famous catchphrase and expressing her desire to leave.
