Ant and Dec slam I’m A Celeb’s David Haye in rare criticism of contestant

Ant and Dec have criticised I’m A Celebrity campmate David Haye for his interactions with Adam Thomas in the jungle.

Viewers were unhappy after the boxer, 45, called the actor, 37, “useless” after Thomas, who has the autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis, asked to skip a Bushtucker Trial due to feeling unwell.

Thomas said Haye “broke” him and pushed him to his limits in the jungle, and Haye has since apologised.

Speaking on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked podcast on Friday (17 April), Ant said: “It’s not a nice watch. He just kind of picks and picks at them. Adam has had a bit of a tough time, and he’s not coping well.”

Dec added: “It’s kind of crossed the line from banter. I don’t find it comfortable to watch.”
