David Haye<\/a> has sparked an I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> sexism storm with a string of shocking comments. In a clip from the second week of the ITV<\/a> show, the 45-year-old former boxer made a series of statements related to how women look and their personalities, during a group discussion.<\/p>\n

It all started innocently enough when it was suggested the group of celebs should meet up for a party when they left the show, and David said his girlfriend Sian was a great cook and could possibly provide food for the event.<\/p>\n

He then added: \u201cShe’s like tall, blue eyes. She\u2019s lovely. She’s got the personality of a proper ugly bird.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scarlett Moffatt replied: \u201cYou can\u2019t say that.\u201d But David brushed off the response and added: \u201cShe has. Most ugly girls realise they don’t they’re not pretty enough to\u2026.they gotta have a personality to banter and to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they’re not aesthetically amazing, straight away. Which is what’s called Ugly Duckling syndrome, where girls are ugly, when they start off, and then they and then they kind of they, they get pretty as they get older. But they still got the personality of when they’re ugly. Does that make sense?\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the camp looked stunned by Haye’s comments in a clip of tonight’s preview, and they weren’t the only ones.<\/p>\n

Commenting on instagram, Loose Women<\/a> star Denise Welch said: “how did David Haye get invited back as an ‘All star’? Was he not a complete kn*b the first time round?.” Another viewer replied simply: “Erghhhhhhh” whilst many others blasted him as sexist.<\/p>\n

Haye has been in a relationship with model Sian Osborne since 2020, but over recent years he’s also been linked to Saturdays singer Una Healy. He has been in the headlines more for his colour love life than his former skills in the ring in recent years, with suggestions he was in a throuple situation with two female partners.<\/p>\n

The one-time heavyweight champion<\/a> is non-monogamous which is when someone has multiple romantic and sexual relationships, with the consent of a partner or spouse. Ant and Dec have commented on this during the series, but Haye himself is yet to bring up his relationship status in camp.<\/p>\n
