David Haye was left humiliated after fans called out his \u201cbullying\u201d behaviour in a poll, after he questioned the response to his \u201cbanter\u201d with Adam Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity fans were left uncomfortable after the boxer continued to goad the Emmerdale actor<\/a> in the jungle, with tensions later spilling out into the live finale last week.<\/p>\n

The soap star, who eventually won the show, has since called out his campmate<\/a> for \u201cmanipulating\u201d and \u201cmindf**king him\u201d, insisting that he was \u201cbullied\u201d during filming.<\/p>\n

While the 45-year-old has continued to defend his antics<\/a>, he was dealt an embarrassing blow after issuing a poll on his Instagram<\/a> page, asking fans to vote on whether they believe he is a bully.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on Tuesday, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s a quick question, ladies and gentlemen, because I\u2019m still confused about the last couple of weeks. Do let me know whether, off the strength of watching I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2026 Legends edition, you think I\u2019m a bully.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you consider, \u2018Yes, I\u2019m a bully\u2019 or \u2018No, it was all banter and it was all good\u2019. Very interested to know the numbers because I\u2019ve asked a few questions and, from the responses I got, it seemed like I was in a massive minority thinking my behaviour was correct. I\u2019m interested to know what you guys think. Do let me know.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, he has received a whopping 54.6k results so far, with 73% voting \u201cyes\u201d, sharing their belief that he is a bully, compared to 27% of people who voted no.<\/p>\n

Many took the opportunity to call out David\u2019s behaviour in the comments below the poll, with one insisting: \u201cIt\u2019s not up to you. It\u2019s up to the person on the receiving end as to how you make them feel. If you\u2019re asked to stop, just stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand your need to continue with your \u201cbanter\u201d if the other person has said stop it. If you were a kid, then I could understand the continuation, but you\u2019re an adult man. This poll is even a joke. It\u2019s between you and the person who feels upset and intimidated by you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what we saw, yes. You’re saying it was banter and it might well have been, but when Adam was clearly sick of it AND other campmates told you to leave it out, you carried on. That makes you a bully,\u201d a fan agreed.<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course there are HUGE amounts of footage we didn’t see, but we did see you bullying Adam when numerous people told you to stop. You even spoiled the live final. Jimmy said he had accepted Adam’s apology but you carried on, you weren’t even there. So based SOLELY on the tiny bits I’ve seen, you acted like a bully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cI think you took it too far, banter is funny if both parties are taking part and enjoying it. It was obvious you were winding Adam up and he\u2019d had enough but you didn\u2019t give up. It was uncomfortable to watch. I was a bit of a fan before but not so much now.\u201d<\/p>\n

David later addressed the findings in a screenshot shared on his Instagram story, showing that nearly 80% of people had voted \u201cyes\u201d. Touching on the results, he fumed: \u201cSo much for the sensible people!! Is the world<\/a> truly that full of sensitive morons?!?\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam shed light on his experience going up against the athlete in the latest episode of his podcast, At Home With The Thomas Bros, after revealing that he had turned to therapy over the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI laughed it off and pretended like it was alright, so I can see it from the other campmates perspective, through their lens, why it might seem like it was banter and not bullying\u201d he said. \u201cI understand it. But I\u2019m telling you my truth and how I felt in there, and I\u2019m telling you now, it was bullying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to David, when I got out, and I asked him why he did it,\u201d he added. \u201cHe told me, \u2018I\u2019ve never met a nicer guy, I just wanted to break you\u2019. If that isn\u2019t classed as bullying, I don\u2019t know what is.\u201d<\/p>\n
