David Haye clashed with yet another of his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmates after Adam Thomas broke one of the ITV show's vital rules. 

The celebrities were dished out a punishment on Thursday night's episode after it was revealed that Waterloo Road star Adam, 37, had smuggled in a sweet treat for the Lions team.

Adam revealed to the Team Rhino camp members that he'd snuck in some chocolate bars for the camp for his hungry rivals, Team Lions, after tucking into a dinner feast. 

David, 45, and Craig Charles had left camp to compete in Bushtucker Trial Retching Ball earlier in the day, securing just seven stars worth of food for the camp. 

But when it came round to the dinner being served, they were told they had all been put under punishment due to Adam sneaking the chocolate - knocking off two stars from their food portions, leaving just five-stars worth. 

David was the first to react to the news, after moaning at Adam following his sneaky antics that his sweet treats would likely see them all punished.

'I won’t eat tonight, honestly guys, I don’t mind,' Adam told the camp as the majority of his co-stars reacted by refusing to let him go hungry. 

However, David quickly responded: 'His portion should be a little bit smaller than everyone else’s actually,' and was met with protests from Beverley Callard and Jimmy Bullard. 

'All that for a hollow empty gesture,' David moaned over Adam's smuggled chocolate as the food was prepared by Mo Farah around the campfire. 

Adam took to the Bush Telegraph to open up on dealing with angry David, revealing: 'It’s safe to say that David wasn’t happy and he’s blaming me right. He just doesn’t stop going on about it, right.

'Like "alright, okay, let it go now:, and he still keeps going and going, to a point where I’m like I don’t know whether it’s banter or whether he actually believes it.'

Adam than confronted David about his reaction to the dinner portion, with the soap actor calling him over and saying: 'Right, me and you outside now.'

Irritated David responded: 'We got a lot less than we would have had,' as the dessert was served up, to which Scarlett Moffatt ended the row, saying: 'Leave him alone.'

It comes after David allegedly made his 'sexist' comments on I'm A Celebrity: All Stars because he couldn't use AI to 'check if his comments were safe'.

The boxer used to use artificial intelligence to fact check all of his speeches and public, social media comments, it is alleged. 

A source said: 'His focus inside camp has always been the game, survival decisions and camp dynamics rather than trying to offend anyone.

'Those who know him best understand there was no malice behind the remark.

'When AI started he started using it all the time to check he's not offending someone before he comments.

The insider added to The Sun: 'It's a bit of a comfort blanket for him – but he didn't have that in the jungle. Those who know him best understand there was no malice behind the remark.'

Daily Mail has contacted David's representatives for comment.  

During Tuesday's episode, David left his co-stars in shock as he bragged about dating a 'lovely' woman 'with the personality of a proper ugly bird'.

David went on to clarify that he meant that less attractive women have better personalities because their 'banter and jokes' distract from their appearance.

The former boxing champion was discussing his girlfriend Sian Osborne with Scarlett and Ashley Roberts, who looked horrified by his admission.

Scarlett, 35, revealed to Heat magazine that David isn't someone she regularly keeps in touch with since appearing on the show.

She said: 'We have a WhatsApp group. Not everyone is in it, I'm not going to lie. I won't disclose it, but for me personally, I speak to Ashley nearly every day.

'I speak to Mo [Farah] all the time, Gemma, Bev [Callard], Sinitta and Harry. I think you naturally gravitate towards certain people in any sort of setting like that, but they're definitely the ones I speak to all the time.'

Despite not name checking David as someone she is close to, it was revealed on the show's press day that the WhatsApp group was created by David.

Scarlett's comments come after David horrified viewers with his comments earlier this week while discussing his partner for the first time.

He said: 'It'd be good to get everyone together as well, after this. [Sian] can cook, for like, 60 people. We have these parties in Costa Rica...'

Pussycat Dolls star Ashley interjected: 'Who is this woman?'

During Tuesday's episode, David left his co-stars in shock as he bragged about dating a 'lovely' woman 'with the personality of a proper ugly bird'. The former boxing champion was discussing his girlfriend Sian Osborne (pictured in 2023) 

In response, David went on to describe her as: 'Tall, blue eyes...'

Sinitta then said: 'She sounds like she's drop dead gorgeous.'

David replied: 'She's lovely, she's got the personality of a proper ugly bird.'

A gobsmacked Scarlett Moffatt chimed in with: 'You can't say that, David! You can't say that', laughing in disbelief.

As Scarlett and Ashley asked what he means by the comment, David clarified: 'Most ugly girls realise they've got to have a personality to banter, tell jokes and s**t.

'People overlook the fact they're not aesthetically amazing straight away.

'What's it called - Ugly Duckling Syndrome? When girls are ugly when they start off, then get pretty as they get older. But they've still got the personality of when they're ugly.'

Looking down and pulling her hair over her face, Ashley groaned: 'Oh, dear God...'.

While many were left aghast by David's view, his girlfriend apparently laughed it off.

A source close to Sian, who has been in throuples with the star, told The Sun: 'Sian can see why people are upset, but he absolutely did not intend to offend anyone – it was meant as a compliment.

Former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here campmate Jordan Banjo ripped into David Haye for being 'too competitive' on the ITV show

'He thinks of himself as a bit of a philosopher and was using the 'ugly duck theory' to boast about how Sian has it all – the stunning looks and killer personality.

'Sian found it really funny. She knows David has a heart of gold and worships the ground she walks on. He always treats her with the utmost respect. She doesn't think he deserves to be labelled sexist.

David has had his fair share of clashes since entering the ITV show, which saw former campmate Jordan Banjo rip into him for being 'too competitive', reminding him: 'You're not fighting right now!'.

The professional dancer, who took to the Jungle in 2016, where he came in ninth place, sat down with This Morning hosts Joel Dommett and Rochelle Humes to share his opinions on the latest action. 

The All Stars series of the ITV show, which was pre-recorded in South Africa, launched earlier this week with a line-up of familiar faces from series' past. 

Among them was boxer David, 45, who first appeared on the series in 2012 - coming in third place - has, since returning to the show, been branded the 'camp villain'. 

The boxer first sparked rage among fans of the ITV series when he chose to send the former Coronation street star to the basic camp, dubbed Savannah Scrub, over Scarlett Moffatt during the launch episode. 

David picked Beverley, 69, over Scarlett, 35, when the decision was placed in his hands over who would remain in the normal show camp.

He then went on to cause more upset when he clashed with campmate Gemma Collins, who famously lasted 72 hours in the jungle back in 2012. 

Craig Charles and Gemma went head to head representing their respective camps in an eating trial, and David made a few swipes in the former TOWIE star's direction. 

As Gemma asked for water during the trial, David hit out: 'I didn’t think you was allowed water until you’d finished. Forget about the rules, rules are the rules.'

Jordan reacted: 'There are tensions rising in camp already and it does seem to be that the architect of of this... and doesn't seem to be doing it on purpose, but it's David Haye. 

'I don't know if he's trying to find a new opponent in there, but obviously he had a choice of who he could send to Savannah Scrubs, and he picked Bev.

'Then he's denying Gemma water during that trial... I mean, look - I'm all up for being competitive, I'm all up for that, but when someone is eating fish eyes and drinking pigs blood, to not let them have a sip of the dusty camp water? 

Asked if he thought it was down to David being 'competitive', Jordan responded: 'I'm like, mate, you're not fighting right now! This is the GC you're talking about, give her a bit of leeway, mate!'

It comes after I'm A Celeb fans took a swipe at David Haye in the fallout from his feud with Beverley, cementing his place as the 'camp villain'.

It didn't take long for fans to hit out at David, with The Sun reporting his Wikipedia page had been updated to include the move against Beverley when he sent her packing to Savannah Scrubs. 

In a now-deleted update to the page on the online encyclopedia, his introduction was tweaked to read: 'David Haye  is a British former professional who sent poor Beverley Callard to the s*** camp despite her being 68.'

I'm A Celebrity ... South Africa fans have taken a swipe at David Haye in the fallout from his feud with Beverley Callard, cementing his place as the 'camp villain'

His bio was quickly changed back to: 'David Deron Haye (born 13 October 1980) is a British former professional boxer. He competed between 2002 and 2018.'

David won his first trial as I'm A Celeb returned earlier this week in South Africa's Kruger National Park - leaving him to choose whether Scarlett or Beverley joined his team. 

Knowing that whoever he didn't pick would be sent to the basic Savannah Scrub camp, where the celebrities would receive less food rations, sleep on wooden beds and have no door to their toilet, he picked Scarlett. 

Beverley warned him as she was sent to the Savannah Scrub: 'Up yours, I will get my own back,' before telling co-star Adam Thomas: 'I’ve been a fan of his for years and years and years, but not any more I tell you.

'David Haye flipping sent me to Savannah Scrub! I was thinking, "You’re going to get it mate, you are going to get it". 

'I’ve thought about this, over the hours, thinking that I’m going to chin him and all the rest of it.'

Fans were left confused by the move, but David's close friends hit back that him sending Beverley to the Savannah Scrub was not intended with malice. 

They added to The Sun: 'It wasn’t personal. David is a very calm and thoughtful person. He thinks everything through. He’s very logical.

I'm A Celebrity All Stars' Beverley Callard furiously declared 'up yours' to boxer David Haye as he sent her to the dreaded Savannah Scrub camp

'His thought process would have been all about survival instinct.

'He knew in order to have the best chance in there, it was important to have the strongest members of the group in his team.

'It wasn’t anything against Beverley. His brain didn’t think about how it might look from the outside sending the older woman to live off scraps.'

Tensions boiled over about David's actions against Beverley in Savannah Scrub, as comedian Seann Walsh was seen fuming he 'doesn't give a s***' about his co-star. 

Comedian Seann asked Adam, who also joined him in the basic camp: 'How did Beverley end up here?' to which Adam said: 'Well, there was another trial with David Haye and Scarlett Moffatt.

'It was up to Mo Farah and Ashley and David Haye to decide who they wanted to send to here.'

Seann responded in shock: 'They sent Beverley? What! Who made that call?' to which former Corrie star Beverley revealed: 'Uh, David Haye.'

Adam let out a laugh while Sean reacted: 'That guy does not give a s**t.'

'Been a fan of his for years and years and years - not anymore I tell you,' Beverley joked. 'He sent me to Savannah scrub and I thought "you're gonna get it mate"'

It comes after I'm A Celeb viewers decided boxer David is the villain of the series, just two episodes in, after the show returned on Monday night. 

As pre-recorded footage has showed the campmates settling back into the all too familiar camp, viewers appear to have already established who the villain of this series will be. 

While watching an interaction between David and the rest of the stars as they attempted to light a fire, viewers flooded social media with comments.

Voicing their opinions on the professional boxer, one said: 'Haye is VERY unlikeable,' as another chimed in: 'Is it just me, or is David Haye coming across REALLY badly so far?!?!?'

'Haye I can see causing rows,' a third wrote, as a fourth chimed in: 'I can tell Haye is very jealous of Mighty Mo. Surely he has to be the Alpha Male?'

David, 45, who first took part in I'm A Celebrity in 2012, has re-entered alongside the likes of Gemma Collins, Scarlett Moffatt, Sir Mo Farah and Adam Thomas, to name a few, vying for the title of 'I'm A Celebrity... Legend.'

As Gemma and Craig Charles took part in their first eating trial, David couldn't help but make comments towards the GC, including pointing out the rules.

While Scarlett told David to 'shut up, viewers said on social media with their own comments: 'Come on the GC lets prove David Haye wrong'; 'Bore off David'; 

'David haye isn’t coming across great is he'; 'I hope Gemma wins, just to p*** off David Haye';

'Good old Scarlet speaking for the nation telling David Haye to shut up!' 

Meanwhile, he appears to already made an enemy with soap star Beverley Callard who furiously declared 'up yours' to boxer David as he sent her to the dreaded Savannah Scrub camp.

The spin-off is filmed in the Kruger National Park in South Africa - with the returning campmates immediately put through their paces.

During the launch episode, Emmerdale alum Adam Thomas had an unfortunate start to the competition as he failed to complete a puzzle in time.

Team captain Adam, 37, took on the first challenge, Tipped Over The Edge, with Beverley Callard as the pair had to try and collect puzzle pieces from the cliff's ledge, while strapped back to back. 

But it was not easy because as they got closer to the edge, the platform they were standing on dramatically tilts, throwing them off balance.

However while the tilting platform proved a piece of cake for the pair - it was in fact the puzzle that made Adam come unstuck.

After taking just eight minutes to collect the puzzles pieces and only falling off the platform once, the duo lost the challenge to Ashley Roberts and Mo Farah after Adam took a whopping 10 minutes to complete the puzzle. 

Meanwhile, viewers also voiced concern for soap star Beverley, who is currently battling breast cancer.
