David Haye's scandalous life from girlfriends' tears to bullying claims and fat shaming has once again come under the spotlight after his explosive stint on I'm A Celebrity All Stars. The former heavyweight champion, known for his controversial antics, has left viewers outraged with his comments and behavior.
Love Life
Haye is non-monogamous, meaning he has multiple romantic and sexual relationships with the consent of his partner. He has been in a relationship with model Sian Osborne since 2020, but has also been linked to Una Healy of The Saturdays. According to sources, the couple used the dating app Raya to find a third person for their relationship, seeking a woman to join their 'throuple'. Helen Flanagan was romantically involved with Haye throughout 2023 before their split, but she denied being part of a throuple. On Celebs Go Dating, she said: "He had a girlfriend and an open relationship. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I did." She later called their relationship a "toxic situation". Una Healy also admitted to a relationship with Haye but felt "hoodwinked", insisting she and Sian were never romantically involved.
Bullying Claims
I'm A Celeb viewers were left uncomfortable after a nasty spat between Haye and Adam Thomas. Haye branded the Emmerdale actor "lazy" and "useless" for not doing a trial due to feeling unwell. Adam has psoriatic arthritis, a chronic illness. Haye fumed: "Who gives a s**t if he doesn't feel well... I hate them useless guys." The episode racked up 171 Ofcom complaints. Haye defended himself, saying: "I am a d*ck - that's the problem." Adam later revealed he started therapy after the clashes. Haye doubled down, insisting Adam "needs to do some push-ups" instead. Sinitta defended Haye, claiming Adam had "goaded" him.
Controversial Stunts
During his boxing career, Haye threw a punch at Tony Bellew during a press conference and threatened his fans, leading to a £25,000 fine. In 2007, he wore a T-shirt depicting the severed heads of the Klitschko brothers, which was called "disrespectful" and "disturbing". In 2012, he fought Dereck Chisora at a post-fight press conference despite not holding a valid boxing license.
'Ugly Bird' Comments
Haye sparked a sexism row when he said his girlfriend Sian has "the personality of a proper ugly bird." He explained: "Most ugly girls realise they gotta have a personality..." Sian defended him, saying she is "fluent in David" and took it as a compliment.
Fat-Shaming
Gemma Collins accused Haye of fat-shaming her on the show. In a clip, Haye told her: "You need to eat tonight," after she mentioned needing food. Gemma reposted the video, calling him a "wasteman."
