Viewers of the popular reality show I’m a Celebrity… South Africa have expressed their frustration over the behavior of returning contestant David Haye. The second season of the show has brought back several former stars, all vying for the title of the second ‘Legend’ of the jungle.
Frustrations Over “Insufferable” Campmate David Haye
The latest episode featured the arrival of contestants in South Africa, who were divided into teams for various challenges. Notable participants include Scarlett Moffatt from Gogglebox, Adam Thomas from Emmerdale, Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard, and professional boxer David Haye.
Controversial Team Dynamics
David Haye has quickly divided opinions among fans and cast members. He assumed control during team selections and controversially sent Beverley to a remote camp after his team won a challenge. His comment, “It’s survival. We’ve got to eat,” did not sit well with Beverley.

Viewer Reactions
Social media was ablaze with comments targeting David Haye. Many viewers labeled him as “annoying” and “insufferable.” Some expressed a desire for him to leave the competition quickly, with messages such as:
- “What has David Haye got against women over 60?”
- “Can this David just stop trying to be in charge?”
One viewer noted they were not impressed by David’s conduct, recalling negative traits from his previous appearance in 2012, where he finished in third place. Many believe if it were up to public voting, he might be the first to go.
