Overview
- Haye, during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity South Africa, said his girlfriend had “the personality of a proper ugly bird” and outlined a theory contrasting “ugly” and “pretty” women.
- Campmates pushed back in real time, with Scarlett Moffatt saying “You can’t say that” and Beverley Callard calling the comments “sexist,” as Ant and Dec noted how the remarks landed.
- Reaction spread across TV and social media, with Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid saying the claims “do not bear scrutiny” and Denise Welch questioning his return to the All Stars lineup.
- Tabloids quoted an unnamed source close to Sian Osborne who said she “found it really funny,” a claim reported by The Sun and repeated elsewhere without an on‑the‑record statement.
- Scarlett later hinted not everyone is in the cast WhatsApp group, suggesting social fallout, while coverage revived Haye’s past relationship headlines to frame the broader debate over casual sexism on reality TV.
