FANS of I’m A Celebrity… All Stars have taken to social media to rant about a particular member of the jungle gang.
Viewers have expressed their anger towards the star who has been labelled ‘controlling’ and ‘annoying’ following the first episode of the new series.
Livid users noted David Haye’s behaviour towards Beverley Callard on the ITV show and are not impressed.
One irritated fan expressed: “First night and want David out for his harsh dismissal of Bev – she didn’t lose either task, her teammates did – and Scarlet out for over acting.”
A second stated: “David and his controlling behaviour is already getting on my nerves.”
“I would pay to watch Beverley Callard chin David Haye,” admitted another.
“David Haye is brutal in picking his team mates. No mercy with him,” penned a fourth.
“What has David Haye got against women over 60 may I ask?” questioned another bemused fan.
All Star fans spotted the “first feud” of the series between the former boxer and the soap star.
In the opening episode, David, Ashley Roberts and Sir Mo Farah competed against Scarlett Moffatt and Beverley for a place in the main camp.
David’s team won the challenge and as a result sent Beverley immediately to the ‘skanky’ Savannah Scrub.
The raging actress turned to David before leaving and said: “No hard feelings, I’m only kidding, I’m fine.”
Then after a pause she said: “Yeah, up yours! Up yours!”
Brave Beverley, 69, refused to pull her punches and later threatened to “chin” the 6ft 3in heavyweight after he consigned her to the squalor of the South African side camp.
He knew the “loser” would have to endure basic rations, sleep on wooden beds and do not even have a door to their dunny.
Later she told actor pal 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.”
Adam, 37, replied: “Please don’t chin David Haye!”
Meanwhile Scarlett told David: “I did appreciate you picking us, but I just think anyone of the age for a free bus pass shouldn’t be sent to Savannah Scrub.”
I’m a Celebrity South Africa was recorded in September, five months before Beverley revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
David was also seen angering showbiz veteran Sinitta, 62, when he picked comic Seann Walsh, 40, for his team.
Asked why, David said: “I think it’s pretty obvious.”
Singer Sinitta hit back: “That’s just rude.”
David had hinted at the drama when chatting to The Sun last week.
He said: “I’m a very competitive person and you can’t always judge a book by its cover. I ate my hat a couple of times.”
I’m a Celebrity South Africa continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
