David Haye’s ‘misogynistic’ behaviour defended as real reason for Beverley Callard ‘feud’ revealed
David faced a lot of backlash immediatelyDavid Haye faced immediate backlash from I’m A Celebrity all stars fans from the very first episode. Mainly for his attitude towards campmate Beverley Callard.
In the opening episode, the campmates were split into two teams, and were informed they would be going head-to-head. Adam Thomas and Ashley Roberts were the team leaders, and because the Pussycat Doll won their first trial, she got first pick at who joins her team.
Ashley chose to have David Haye work by her side, but when it came to which member of the other team to send to the bad camp, everyone was shocked when he chose Beverley.
Beverley and David ‘feud’ on I’m A Celebrity
David was given the power to send either Scarlett Moffatt or Beverly to the worse I’m A Celebrity camp. And shockingly, he chose Scarlett.
The former boxer also made some comments towards the women, and many felt he was trying to take control of the group, despite Ashley being team leader. Many fans took to social media to even deem his behaviour as “misogynistic”.
Later in the first episode, when Beverley joined Adam in the camp, she told him: “I’ve been a fan of his for 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!’
“I’ve thought about this, over the hours. Thinking that I’m going to chin him, and all the rest of it.”

David Haye’s behaviour defended by his friends
According to The Sun, David’s pals have revealed it wasn’t “personal”. Instead, it’s believed David would just want to win. And in that moment, that was how he would achieve it.
The source told the outlet: “David is a very calm and thoughtful person. He thinks everything through. He’s very logical.
“His thought process would have been all about survival instinct. He knew in order to have the best chance in there, it was important to have the strongest members of the group in his team.”
They added it was “nothing against Beverley” but that his “brain didn’t think” about how it would look sending the older campmate to the worse camp.
Another friend reportedly told the publication: “It’s not like he’s got a grudge against her. Far from it.”
They joked that while he used to be a boxer, in his heart he’s a “lover not a fighter”.
