- Thomas, who has psoriatic arthritis, wrote on Instagram on Sunday that Haye “broke me,” said the boxer pushed him to his limits, and added that an apology had been made.
- Haye had called Thomas “useless” after the actor said he felt too unwell and dehydrated to face a Bushtucker Trial, provoking concern in camp and online.
- Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly condemned Haye’s conduct on their Unpacked podcast, saying it crossed the line from banter and was not a “nice watch.”
- After leaving the camp, Haye defended his behavior and said he had spoken to Thomas, arguing he kept his composure and suggesting upcoming episodes would show more context.
- Thomas later urged fans to stop hostile comments and “be kind,” as support from family, campmates, and viewers grew and debate widened over duty of care in high‑pressure reality TV trials.
