David took part in a challenge along with his fellow campmates last night, but it quickly went south for the former boxer.
I’m A Celebrity fans slam David Haye’s behaviour during trial
Last night saw the celebrities take part in a skill-based challenge.
They all had to hold a giant paddle and balance it so that the red ball on top of it didn’t fall into the fire pit. The celebs were told that it “pays to be the last person standing”.
Taking their positions, the celebrities attempted to keep the ball from falling into the pit, though it proved to be a difficult, strenuous task.
Within seconds of the trial starting, David’s paddle somehow flipped, with his ball landing in the fire pit.
Laughing and swearing, the boxer sheepishly walked away. “I’ll see you guys in about four hours,” David quipped, drawing huge laughs from fellow campmate Jimmy Bullard.
Fans work out why David ‘threw’ the challenge
The celebs appeared to be there for hours, holding the paddles in place. As night fell, they decided to elect Ashley Roberts to win as it was her birthday.

On the count of three, all the celebs dropped their paddles, apart from Jimmy, who found the whole situation hilarious.
However, Harry Redknapp was quick to bring Jimmy’s prank to an end, flipping his paddle for him. “You’ve got to let Ashley win,” he told the laughing ex-footballer. Because she was the last one standing, Ashley won a cookie.
Following the challenge, viewers took to Twitter to criticise David for throwing the challenge so early, claiming the boxer did it because he “couldn’t bear” being in with a chance of losing.
“He probably did it on purpose so he didn’t rage if he lost fr,” one fan tweeted.
“David purposely losing because he couldn’t bear even being in with a chance of actually losing lololol,” another wrote.
Viewers mock David
The mocking of David didn’t stop there.
“David’s done that on purpose, blokes got a severe case of main character syndrome,” a third viewer remarked.
“Nah David HAS to purposely not be doing [bleep] all. Just in it for the cheque,” another said.
“Feel like David [bleeped] that up on purpose so he could goad the rest and sit on his arse like he usually does #ImACeleb but hopefully him bring first to lose means he leaves??” a fifth added.
