'Leave our Gemma alone!'

I’m A Celebrity South Africa viewers were left fuming after David Haye was accused of making a “rude” comment to Gemma Collins.

During Friday night’s (April 10) show, it was pointed out in camp that Gemma had thick hair. While agreeing, David slyly remarked: “It definitely ain’t thin.”

Previously, viewers predicted there could be tension between Gemma and David, and it seems something could be brewing.

After he commented, Gemma rolled her eyes and rose above it. However, viewers were not impressed at all.

‘I don’t go where I’m not welcomed’

Moments later in the same episode, Gemma opened up to Adam Thomas about her feelings towards David.

“David Haye is not welcoming at all. He don’t like me,” she said, adding: “I just don’t think the geezer likes me.”

Adam said that Gemma needed to “give him time”, insisting that “he’s fine”.

Gemma doubled down, however, and declared that he “wasn’t welcoming at all, hun”.

She added: “I don’t go where I’m not welcomed. I don’t go where I’m not appreciated.”

During Thursday’s show, Gemma clashed with Sinitta over her withdrawal from the musical Chicago. During their exchange, Sinitta thought Gemma signing up was a “joke”.

At the end of tonight’s episode, the show teased two more latecomers, Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard, who will make their debut on Monday’s show (April 13).
