ITV I’m A Celeb fans shut down David Haye as he reignites Adam Thomas row with savage rant: 'Sick of it!'

Reflecting on the fallout, Mr Haye said: “Dishing out banter to me and then losing the banter game. I give it back to him. He starts crying and moaning. Somehow he's done it. So he's still the victim.”

He went on to criticise Mr Thomas and his brothers following their podcast appearance, adding: “I put it in double speed because I couldn't listen to the waffle. All three of them. Bitching and whining and moaning.”

The boxer suggested the tensions in camp stemmed from a difference in personality and resilience, claiming the soap star had not been exposed to the kind of “back and forth” he considers normal.

“I don't think he's been around guys like proper guys who actually have a bit of back and forth and you kind of build your resilience, your mental resilience to jibes,” he said.

Mr Haye added: “The volume of banter that he received was significantly less than he dished out. So he dished out, couldn't take it.”

He also dismissed the severity of the exchanges, insisting: “The little light sprinkling of, uh, primary school banter that I gave him, which was so gentle, he nearly had an emotional breakdown over it.”

I'm A Celebrity...South Africa fans were quick to flood Mr Haye's comments with their opinions of his latest outburst.

One critic penned: "For someone that’s not bothered. You seem to be talking about it a lot?!"

Another added: "Genuinely sick of hearing about this now. You have hurt someone, whether that was indirect or not, own it.."

"Sounds like adam is in your head now," penned a third, as someone else suggested Mr Hay "move on now honestly it’s boring."

However, others sided with the boxer.

"F****** hell, you wanna see the banter my mates and I have with each other, it’s f****** brutal down the local pub...he wouldn’t last one beer," one fan wrote.

Another penned: "I’m with David! Real men’s banter is terrorising each other! I work in construction, and it’s all we do to each other all day everyday! And if you can’t handle it, don’t partake in it in the first place."

The boxer's comments mark the latest escalation in a row that has dominated headlines since the ITV series aired, with Mr Thomas previously accusing the former world champion of bullying.

Speaking on his At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast, the actor claimed: “What happened to me in camp was bullying.”

He also alleged that Mr Haye admitted targeting him deliberately, recalling: “He told me, ‘I’ve never met a nicer guy. I just wanted to break you.’ Now if that isn’t classed as bullying, I don’t know what is.”

Mr Haye, however, has repeatedly denied the accusation.

“Everyone's so damn soft, it makes me sick,” he said.

“It's the world we live in right now and you're rewarded the softer and weaker you are.”

He continued: “You're nearly 40 years old and you're moaning that you won a TV competition… You've got £100,000 to give it to a charity of choice… Things are looking positive.”

The former boxer also hinted that more details could emerge which challenge Mr Thomas’s version of events.

“There's a lot of stuff that's going to come to light that hasn't come to light that kind of contradicts this story just a little bit,” he said.

“That I'm looking forward to seeing the light of day.”

More than 170 complaints were lodged with Ofcom during the all-star series, in which Mr Haye and Mr Thomas camped out in the South African jungle together for three weeks.

The controversy has also taken a legal turn, with Mr Haye allegedly preparing to sue ITV for up to £10million over claims he was unfairly portrayed as a “pantomime villain” through editing.

ITV has rejected those claims, stating it showed “an accurate and fair representation of events”.
