David Haye defends his critical comments towards Adam Thomas on 'I'm A Celebrity,' claiming the actor was capable of more despite his health condition and suggesting therapy isn't the answer. Adam Thomas has revealed he is now in therapy following the experience.
Former boxing champion David Haye has ignited further controversy surrounding his interactions with actor Adam Thomas during their time on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
' Haye has repeatedly questioned Thomas's willingness to participate in trials, particularly after Thomas excused himself from the 'Termite Terror' challenge due to his psoriatic arthritis and resulting fatigue. Haye argued that Thomas, earning a substantial amount of money simply by appearing on the show – estimating between £20,000 and £25,000 per day – should have been able to overcome his physical discomfort and contribute to the camp.
He characterized Thomas's reluctance as stemming from a 'soft, padded lifestyle' and suggested he needed 'to do some push-ups' rather than seek therapy. The conflict escalated with Haye making disparaging remarks about Thomas's food portions, leading to a direct confrontation where Thomas demanded Haye 'outside now.
' This prompted intervention from fellow campmate Scarlett Moffatt, who urged Haye to 'leave him alone. ' The exchanges have drawn significant criticism, with viewers lodging complaints of bullying. Haye's comments have been described as relentless 'picking' at Thomas, and the hosts of the show's spin-off series, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, admitted to feeling 'uncomfortable' watching the interactions, noting that the 'banter' had 'crossed the line.
' Thomas himself has since revealed he is undergoing therapy to cope with the mental impact of Haye's behavior, expressing shock and frustration at being subjected to such treatment. He questioned how he allowed another person to affect him in such a way, describing the experience as deeply unsettling. Haye remains unapologetic, dismissing Thomas's need for therapy and advocating for him to engage with 'powerful' men who 'do stuff' instead of dwelling on hardship.
He maintains that Thomas's financial compensation for being on the show should have motivated him to push through any physical challenges. The situation highlights a clash of perspectives – Haye's emphasis on resilience and physical strength versus Thomas's struggle with a chronic autoimmune condition. The controversy has sparked a wider conversation about acceptable behavior in a high-pressure environment and the importance of sensitivity towards individuals with health issues.
The fallout continues, with Thomas actively seeking professional help to process the experience and Haye defending his stance, further solidifying the divide between the two celebrities
