David Haye sparks ‘sexism’ row with I’m A Celeb co-stars after ‘ugly birds’ comments

His campmate said Haye may have hit the 'jackpot' but his girlfriend 'got the booby prize'

We’re one week in and campmates from I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! All Stars are getting under people’s skin – including each other’s it seems.

Back for a second season in South Africa, returnees to the show include the likes of Gemma Collins, Scarlett Moffatt, Sir Mo Farah and Sinitta.

With talks of a ‘huge bust-up’ between the two of the stars circulating, last night (13 April) saw Beverley Callard call David Haye ‘sexist’.

The former boxer was discussing his ‘lovely’ girlfriend, Sian, who he said has the ‘personality of a proper ugly bird’.

Yeah, an interesting comment to make about your partner, with previous I'm A Celeb winner Moffatt telling him: “You can’t say that, David!” But the 45-year-old continued to elaborate as the camp asked him what he even meant.

“Most ugly girls realise they don’t… they’re not pretty enough to… They’ve got to have a personality to banter and to tell jokes and sh*t so people overlook the fact they’re not aesthetically amazing straight away,” he said.

Haye said this is ‘ugly duckling syndrome’ as the ‘girls are ugly when they start off’ before they end up getting ‘pretty as they get older’.

“But they’ve still got the personality of when they were ugly,” he added.

Moffatt and Ashley Roberts were absolutely baffled by the boxing star’s description, as he continued: “You get a girl who was pretty from day one, everyone tells her she’s amazing, so she grows up thinking ‘I’m amazing, everyone loves me, I can open up any door, I can go anywhere I want’.

“They don’t have to have a personality, because most super-pretty girls are idiots.”

And Haye claimed therefore that their ‘ugly friends’ have to ‘work a bit harder’, something he’s seen with his ‘own eyes’ and that he ‘feels for these poor girls’.

Moffatt couldn’t stop laughing as she asked him what he’s talking about and said: “You’re just talking sh*t!”

And Callard quipped: “So do handsome men have sh*t personalities then?”

But Haye apparently doesn’t ‘really pay attention’ to them.

Moffatt added in: “You’re almost saying ugly people can’t be d***heads?”

“They can be but they won’t get no love at all,” he responded. I’m digging myself something here.”

Haye said he’d be with Sian ‘even if she didn’t look how she looked’ as Callard said he’s ‘hit the jackpot’ with her but that she has ‘got the booby prize’.

The soap star called his remarks ‘sexist rubbish’ as viewers on X slammed him as a ‘misogynist’.

Others labelled his comments as ‘disgusting’ and that he’s ‘stuck in a teenager’s body’.

But some have claimed he’s ‘spot on’ and that you ‘have to admire him for having the guts to say it’.

LADbible has contacted ITV and representatives for Haye for comment.
