David Haye slammed for 'sore loser' move as I'm A Celeb campmates issue plea
I'm A Celebrity fans took aim at David Haye as the former boxer made a cheeky claim after his Lions teammates lost yet another challenge to the Rhinos
www.mirror.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about David Haye and I’m a Celeb in 2026.
-
Reports in 2025–2026 indicated David Haye was being discussed for a return on the I'm a Celebrity… South Africa All Stars edition planned for 2026, with ITV reportedly pursuing his involvement despite ongoing tax-related and personal-life headlines. This points to a potential comeback rather than a final confirmation in 2026, so updates later in the year could confirm or shift those plans.[1][6]
-
By early-to-mid 2026, coverage around the All Stars season suggested Haye was a prominent contender in the lineup considerations, and several outlets described the possible return as a centerpiece for the new edition’s camp dynamics. However, narrative emphasis remained on behind-the-scenes negotiations rather than definitive casting announcements.[3][4]
-
On- and off-screen reactions to his participation drew mixed responses in 2026, with some UK media outlets highlighting friction and controversy around his behavior and comments in the show, while others framed his return as a draw for viewers familiar with his prior appearance. The public discourse included both praise for his media presence and criticism of his conduct during the show.[5][8][10]
-
If you’re specifically tracking outcomes, there were reports in April 2026 indicating live-show developments and eliminations within the South Africa edition, where David Haye’s status and performance were among the talking points in coverage of that season’s episodes and finales. Outcomes can change quickly with episodes airing, so the latest episode guide or ITV’s official updates would provide the most current status.[4][5]
Would you like me to pull the very latest official statements from ITV or gather a quick recap of Haye’s appearances and notable moments from the 2012 original and the 2026 All Stars run? I can also summarize how his public profile and legal/tax headlines have coincided with his TV appearances, if that would help.
