David Haye doubles down on controversial ‘ugly bird’ comments as Ben Shephard calls out I’m a Celeb star

David Haye doubled down on his controversial “ugly birds” comments on I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, as This Morning presenter Ben Shephard criticised his remarks.

The boxer, 45, described his girlfriend, Sian Osborne, as having the "personality of a proper ugly bird" and suggested that less attractive women develop stronger personalities.

Speaking ahead of the live finale, Haye said: "I'm not the arbitrator. I'm saying, in my opinion, the beautiful girls that I see usually have terrible personalities, whereas uglier girls, fat girls have much better personalities, more bubbly personalities."
