I’m A Celebrity star David Haye’s ‘misogynistic’ comments
During his time in South Africa, David shocked his campmates and viewers alike with his comments about “ugly birds”.
The star was speaking about his partner when he said that she has “the personality of an ugly bird”.
Explaining his bizarre comments, he said: “Most ugly girls realise they gotta have a personality, to banter and tell jokes and [bleep], so people overlook the fact that they’re not aesthetically amazing straight away.
“It’s called ugly duckling syndrome. Where you get them when girls are ugly, when they start off, and then they get prettier as they get older, but they’ve still got the personality of when they were ugly,” he then said.
David doubled down on his comments during an appearance on This Morning last week.
“It’s the truth. Ugly girls have better personalities than traditionally beautiful supermodels,” he said.

I’m A Celebrity star David Haye hits out on Instagram
Taking to his Instagram today (Sunday, April 26), in a video for his 531k followers to see, David again doubled down on his comments about “ugly” girls, while out driving.
“So I did a poll yesterday, and I was very shocked at the results. Couldn’t believe it,” he said.
“Apparently, I’m wrong. I asked ‘Am I right or am I wrong?’, or am I correct in my opinions, or am I incorrect? Over 85% of people said I was incorrect. God damn. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought I was right,” he said.
He then said that he “always thought” that girls who “happen to win the human lottery that are tall, attractive to the masses, have it easier going through life” he said –  clarifying he meant the “proper supermodels,” not the “chubby little Instagram models” – don’t have a good personality.
