I’m a Celebrity… South Africa fans are threatening to switch off after David Haye’s<\/a> latest set of nasty comments.<\/p>\n

The boxer has caused quite a stir on the ITV programme so far, and earlier this week angered fans over his ‘sexist’ comments about his girlfriend Sian and other women. He now looks set to face backlash once again with more comments.<\/p>\n

In a preview for tonight’s episode, Adam Thomas<\/a> is shown saying he doesn’t feel well. An angry David then shouts: “Not well? What’s wrong with him? He’s a grown arse man,” as a shocked Harry Redknapp looks on.<\/p>\n

Also in a preview for tonight’s instalment, Gemma Collins<\/a> is seen uttering the famous ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ phrase as she tells her shocked campmates she’s done \u2013 but will they convince her to stay?<\/p>\n

As fans reacted to the preview clip, angry followers fumed over David’s comments to Adam, who has autoimmune condition psoriatic arthritis, which leads to joint pain, swelling and stiffness.<\/p>\n

“Get David out , for his sake and ours watching it,” one viewer wrote. A second added: “Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels bad for Adam?” A third penned: “@davidhaye is making this show unpleasant to watch.”<\/p>\n

“Adam is such a sweetheart. David needs to go, if it had been public vote he would have gone first! He’s making me not want to watch,” another comment, which has garnered over 1200 likes, read.<\/p>\n

“David’s actually making me crash out I’m gonna rage,” one shared, with another writing: “Only thing keeping David in that camp is the fact we ain’t allowed to boot him out.”<\/p>\n

Former Emmerdale<\/a> actor Adam has arthritis, which he has been open about. Explaining how it affects him, he said previously: “It is an autoimmune disease. Basically means my immune system is attacking my own body. It causes a s**t-load of pain.”<\/p>\n

Some days he will need help doing simple day-to-day tasks and his mental health has been affected, but ultimately, it’s made him stronger. He can experience pain in his fingers and knees on some days, but others, he can be in pain all over his body.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Friday 17 April, fans will see how heated the argument gets, with David likely under fire for more comments – just days after he said his girlfriend had the “personality of a proper ugly bird”.<\/p>\n

“She’s like tall, blue eyes. She’s lovely. She’s got the personality of a proper ugly bird,” he said of his girlfriend, adding: “She has. Most ugly girls realise they don’t they’re not pretty enough to….they gotta have a personality to banter and to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they’re not aesthetically amazing, straight away.<\/p>\n

“Which is what’s called Ugly Duckling syndrome, where girls are ugly, when they start off, and then they and then they kind of they, they get pretty as they get older. But they still got the personality of when they’re ugly. Does that make sense?” His comments left his campmates shocked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
