David Haye has claimed Adam Thomas played the 'victim card' during their time on I'm A Celebrity South Africa, insisting the actor misunderstood his 'banter'. The former boxer appeared on This Morning to discuss the alleged friction, saying Thomas 'fanned the flames' of bullying allegations.
Speaking to presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, Haye said: 'The whole bullying thing, he really fanned the flames on it. I think his angle is to try to play the victim card. Even in trials, whenever there was a trial coming up, all of a sudden his sickness popped up. And as soon as there was no trial, he was all of a sudden back up.'
When asked if he pushed things too far, Haye replied: 'No, I don't. I just think he's too soft. He can give it, but he can't take it.' He added that the show's editing may have misrepresented the situation, saying: 'They edit it how they need to edit it to get the most engaging show.'
Adam Thomas previously took to Instagram to share his side, writing that Haye 'broke' him and pushed him to his limits. He said Haye had apologised and that he had moved on.
