David Haye Slammed as ‘Misogynist’ for ‘Pathetic’ Comment About Girlfriend, Leaving Campmates Stunned 😱

Former boxer David Haye has sparked major backlash after a jaw-dropping comment about his girlfriend left fellow I’m A Celebrity campmates stunned — and viewers furious.

The moment, which aired in a recent episode, quickly turned from light-hearted chat into awkward silence and disbelief.

💬 THE COMMENT THAT STOPPED THE CAMP

While chatting about his partner Sian Osborne, David initially described her warmly — praising her cooking and personality.

But then came the remark that changed everything.

He said she had:

“The personality of a proper ugly bird.”

The reaction? Instant.

😱 CAMPMATES LEFT GASPING

Scarlett Moffatt didn’t hold back, immediately responding:

“You can’t say that, David!”

Meanwhile, Ashley Roberts looked visibly uncomfortable, reacting with:

“Oh, dear God…”

Even as laughter mixed with shock, it was clear the comment had crossed a line.

🧠 HIS EXPLANATION… DIDN’T HELP

Trying to clarify, David doubled down — suggesting that women he described as “less attractive” develop stronger personalities to compensate.

He referenced ideas like:

• “Ugly Duckling Syndrome”
• People being “overlooked” for looks
• Personality being shaped by that experience

But rather than easing tension, the explanation only made things more uncomfortable.

🔥 VIEWERS REACT — “DISGUSTING”

As the clip aired, social media exploded with criticism.

Fans branded the comment:

• “Pathetic”
• “Disgusting”
• “Misogynistic”

Some viewers questioned how he was still on the show, while others defended his girlfriend, pointing out she had done nothing to deserve being spoken about that way.

One reaction summed up the mood:

“Why take that out on his partner? She hasn’t done anything wrong.”

⚖️ A CLASH BETWEEN “BANTER” AND BOUNDARIES

Moments like this often sit in a grey area between what some call “banter” — and what others see as offensive.

In this case, the immediate reactions inside the camp suggest:

• The tone didn’t land as intended
• The wording struck a nerve
• And even friends weren’t comfortable letting it slide

🎭 NOT THE ONLY DRAMA IN CAMP

The episode wasn’t short on chaos elsewhere either.

• Gemma Collins took a dramatic tumble out of a hammock
• Emotional moments unfolded as campmates spoke about missing their families
• New arrivals shook up the group dynamic

Ironically, David later stepped in to help Gemma after her fall — showing a completely different side to the one seen earlier.

👀 PUBLIC IMAGE TAKES A HIT

For David Haye, the backlash highlights how quickly public perception can shift on reality TV.

One moment of conversation — especially around sensitive topics — can:

• Go viral within minutes
• Be dissected by viewers
• And reshape how audiences see a contestant

💬 THE BIGGER CONVERSATION

Beyond the headlines, the moment has sparked a wider discussion about:

• How women are described in media
• The line between humour and offence
• And how language reflects deeper attitudes

It’s a reminder that even offhand comments — especially on national TV — don’t exist in a vacuum.

🧨 ONE COMMENT — MAJOR FALLOUT

Whether meant as a joke or not, the reaction has been loud and clear.

From shocked campmates to angry viewers, this is one moment that’s unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon.

And for David Haye, it could prove to be one of the most defining — and controversial — points of his time in the jungle.
