I’m A Celebrity fans are livid after David Haye uses elimination to make ‘evil’ decision

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa fans have been left stunned after David Haye’s shock decision to eliminate another campmate.

So far this series, the former world heavyweight boxer has infuriated fans following his ‘ugly bird’ comments and ‘bullying’ of other campmates.

However, in last night’s episode, the 45-year-old was booted off of the series in a double eviction after his campmates individually voted to save others, leaving him as the last to be unsaved.

In a shock twist, David was then tasked with selecting another campmate to join him in leaving the jungle.

Much to the fury of fans, he then named TOWIE star Gemma Collins, who had proven to be a fan favourite this series.

Writing on X, Lil wrote: ‘The evil David Haye strikes again by sending Gemma home #imaceleb’

Michelle also added: ‘David Haye is evil. He’s evicted Gemma Collins with him. Oh, you nasty man.’

Meanwhile, another user named Andrew claimed that this was proof David is being ‘evil right to the very end’.

He continued: ‘David Haye is finally out, but at what cost?? Bc we lost the og icon.’

This comes after hosts Ant and Dec called out David’s behaviour themselves, saying they ‘don’t find it comfortable’ to watch the boxer’s antics.

The Hayemaker has so far been called out for spouting ‘sexist nonsense’ after saying that his girlfriend has ‘got the personality of a proper ugly bird’.

Explaining his comment, he said: ‘It’s called ugly duckling syndrome. Where girls are ugly when they start off, then they get pretty as they get older, but they’ve still got the personality of when they were ugly.’

David was then branded a ‘bully’ after clashing with Adam Thomas when he refused to do a Bushtucker Trial, claiming he felt unwell and dehydrated.

While the rest of the camp accepted this, Haye refused to let it go, and said: ‘I don’t like guys who are a bit useless,’ to Adam.

Taking to social media, fans described David’s comments as ‘infuriating’, especially after learning that Thomashas been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and that he may be struggling with the pain of his condition.

Reflecting on his struggles in camp, Adam then issued a statement where he admitted that the heavyweight ‘broke’ him to his lowest during the experience.

In a touching post, he confessed that he thought the feisty atmosphere in camp was ‘his fault’, but he has since realised that wasn’t the case.

Last week, Gemma then also called out David on social media for ‘fat-shaming’ her, after sharing a clip of one of their conversations on social media.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
