David Haye has come under fire once again after it emerged that fellow campmate Ashley Roberts confronted him over his behaviour in unaired scenes from I'm A Celebrity South Africa. The Pussycat Dolls star, who appeared on the ITV spin-off alongside the boxer, told This Morning that she felt compelled to speak out about his language.
Ashley said: 'There are points where I did confront him because I thought some of his language was quite shocking. We all tried to plant seeds in different ways of thinking.' She noted that it remains to be seen whether the confrontation will make the final edit.
The former heavyweight champion has faced criticism for sexist remarks about his girlfriend, Sian Osborne, whom he compared to an 'ugly bird' with a personality to compensate for her looks. He also lashed out at Adam Thomas, calling him 'useless' for refusing a Bushtucker Trial due to a medical condition, saying: 'Who gives a s**t if he doesn't feel well. I hate useless guys.'
Ashley had earlier voiced her shock on Heart Radio, stating: 'His language is outrageous. I don't remember that side of him from 14 years ago.' Adam Thomas later said on social media that David 'broke him' and 'pushed him to his limits', though he added that the boxer has since apologised.
Hosts Ant and Dec described the scenes as uncomfortable to watch, with Dec noting it wasn't a 'nice watch'. The controversy continues to overshadow the reality show, with viewers calling for accountability over Haye's conduct.
