I’m A Celebrity fans have accused David Haye of bullying his co-star Adam Thomas after they clashed in last night’s episode.
Haye, 45, has courted controversy throughout the most recent season ofI’m a Celebrity South Africa.
In the most recent episode of I’m a Celeb, Thomas 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, saying that Thomas hadn’t done anything since he got there.
‘I don’t like guys who are a bit useless,’ Haye said to Adam, who just laughed off the boxer’s comments.
After the awkward exchange, viewers took to social media to share their feelings on the encounter.

@RyanJL wrtote on X: ‘Watching D*vid Haye on #ImACeleb is infuriating. I despise when that kind of relentless poking at someone gets called banter and brushed off.’
Ryan wasn’t the only one who was tired of Haye’s behaviour. @kaz_evs added:’David Haye is a big mouth bully who seems to enjoy slagging off his camp mates and the whole female race.’
@Cheryl666 agreed, saying: ‘David Haye is a bleeding bully… telling Adam to do the trial…as he’s contributed nothing.’
Others claimed that Hayes was lashing out due to his own insecurities, claiming that he doesn’t like how much Thomas is liked compared to him.
Some fans also noted that Thomas has been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and that he may be struggling with the pain of his condition.
@relish_hendy write: ‘Adam Thomas is a bloody lovely young man, he can’t help being in pain, but David Haye and anyone else with disgusting attitudes towards Disability can help being ars*holes.’
Thomas, who’s best known for Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in 2022.
The autoimmune condition causes joint swelling, which leads to chronic pain and stiffness, and sometimes leaves him unable to walk.
Thomas manages the condition with regular injections, which he credits with ‘changing his life.
These last few weeks… my life completely changed, he wrote in an Instagram post back in June 2025.
“As some of you know, I’ve been battling psoriatic arthritis for the past 3 years, and it’s been tough, constant pain, constant struggle,’ he continued.
‘But today I can say something I honestly never thought I would… I’m pain free!! Not a bit better, not improving, but ZERO pain! None. For the first time in YEARS.
‘A few weeks ago, I had my first biologic injection, and it changed my life literally overnight. I know that for most people it can take weeks to work, but for me… it was instant. And I’m still in shock.
‘I mean, I know that this is not a cure, and I’m still doing all I can to support my body naturally through food, movement, and rest. But this has given me something I haven’t felt in a long time! Now it’s time to rebuild, mentally, physically, emotionally.’
I’m a Celebrity continues on Monday on ITV and ITVX.
