I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans want David Haye out
Viewers have unanimously decided who they would like to see eliminated tonight – boxer David Haye. It comes after Adam Thomas revealed that David had apologised for his behaviour towards him. And after hosts Ant and Dec revealed they found it ‘uncomfortable’ to watch.
“DAVID DAVID DAVID!” chanted one I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 viewer. “Pick David Pleeeese!” urged another. A third commented: “I really hope David goes tonight.”
Another agreed and said: “For the love of god choose the non-team player David!” “Surely the only person they could choose would be David Haye. If they choose anyone else I’ll be appalled,” declared another.
Double elimination brewing…
The Sun is now claiming that tonight’s show will feature a double elimination.
In a savage twist, following their elimination, the axed celebrity must select another to leave with them.
A source said: “It’s absolutely savage and had the celebrities reeling when it all kicked off in camp. They were surprised enough to be told they needed to oust one of their own so to then learn the leaver would have to axe another is brutal.
“It all kicks off a mad week of action before Friday’s final.”
