Ant and Dec have publicly criticised David Haye following his clash with Adam Thomas on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. The presenters described the former boxer's behaviour as 'not nice' and said it had 'crossed the line from banter'.
Speaking on the show's podcast, Ant said: 'It's not a nice watch. He just kind of picks and picks at them. Adam has had a bit of a tough time and he's not coping well. Clearly the banter has got too much. But David won't stop.' Dec added: 'It's kind of crossed the line from banter. I don't find it comfortable to watch.'
The row began when Adam, who suffers from psoriatic arthritis, asked to be excused from a Bushtucker Trial due to feeling unwell. Haye called him 'useless' and said he 'doesn't like men like that'. Gemma Collins later said she felt compelled to 'protect' Adam, adding: 'If I was going full GC mode on David Haye... it would've been a disaster.'
Adam has since spoken out on Instagram, saying: 'Not going to lie, this picture breaks my heart... My time in I'm a Celebrity South Africa was one of the toughest things I've ever been through... There were moments I felt pushed to my absolute limit.'
