David Haye slams ‘weak’ Adam Thomas as he defends I’m A Celeb antics as ‘banter’

David Haye has responded to Adam Thomas’ bullying allegations, calling the actor “weak” and defending his behaviour as “banter”.

The actor and the boxer frequently clashed on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, with Haye calling Thomas “useless” after he was unable to take part in a trial. Thomas, who went on to win the show, claimed that Haye tried to “break” him.

The 45-year-old has now responded to Thomas’ bullying claims in an Instagram post on Thursday (30 April).
