Sore loser David Haye threatened to steal his rival camp’s dinner on I’m A Celebrity after his team lost yet another Bushtucker Trial.
On Tuesday night’s installment, viewers watched as Team Rhino goaded the former boxer, 45, over their win of the first challenge, Wicked Watering Hole.
And things only got worse when his Lion teammates Sir Mo Farah and Seann Walsh came back empty-handed after their terrible performance in Cut Throat Cliff.
Winners Beverley Callard and Sinitta added salt to the wound as they declared they ‘couldn’t wait’ to rub their win in.
Viewers compared the rival camps to a ‘literal battleground’ as an irked David declared he would steal Rhinos’ dinner as it was travelling over ‘Lion airspace’.
Footage for Wednesday night’s show was teased at the end of the episode and showed the athlete climbing up the dividing fence as the food package travelled across a zipwire.

On Tuesday night’s installment, viewers watched as Team Rhino goaded the former boxer over their win of the first challenge, Wicked Watering Hole (pictured Adam Thomas)
Tensions first began when David stewed over losing Team Lion’s Bushtucker Trial to rival team Team Rhino, and Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard couldn’t resist rubbing their win in.
David reflected in the Bush Telegraph: ‘We were a very tight team until someone stuck a fence across camp. That set a cat amongst the pigeons. It’s changed the dynamic, it’s them against us.’
And it only got worse when Team Rhino celebrated getting their meal of warthog leg delivered.
He said: ‘Normally when that bag comes it’s a celebration, but this time it’s come round, it drops over the fence and there’s cheers over the side. It doesn’t sit well with me.’
However, after another loss David was fed up and hatched a plan to steal the food.
He told Adam after getting fed up by the actor popping over the fence and asking if ‘he’s ok’.
David told him: ‘Adam stop asking, we’ve realised something. For you to get your goodies tonight, you’re going to have to go across Team Lion airspace.
‘I’m not snatching a bag, I’m just taking what belongs to us. You think I’m joking, don’t you?
‘If any food comes into our territory, I’m going to take it and eat it. Just so you know the banter hasn’t been that friendly, it makes it easier.’

Viewers took to X to comment on the heated argument. They wrote: ‘The drama on Celebrity South Africa is reaching breaking point! The deepening divide between the Kingdoms has turned the camp into a literal battleground. ⚔️ Watching them face the Cut Throat Cliff was intense—but Beverly Callard survived!’
‘oooo this is so good!!!!’
‘obsessed with our Beverly Callard wanting to ragebait David Haye’.
Elsewhere in the episode, Seann Walsh was roasted for a mortifying blunder.
The celebrities were told that to successfully complete the challenge, they had to lean over the cliff edge and show off their general knowledge.
If they were correct, they got to pick one of their opponents to cut one of their ropes, but if they weren’t, they had to do it to themselves.
And that only meant one thing – falling to the ground.
But Seann couldn’t answer: ‘Question 15: finish the lyrics to the 1982 song by Toto, “I bless the rain down in…”
He quickly pressed his buzzer and shouted: ‘Spain!’
Ant and Dec couldn’t contain their laughter and tried to hide their reaction behind their cards.
Dec told him: ‘I bless the rain down in Africa was the 1982 song by Toto. You have to cut your own rope.’
As he cut his rope, Seann said: ‘I don’t believe this.’
Arriving back at camp, Beverley told the rest of her team what happened and they were left in hysterics.
She said: ‘Well, we got there, and we had to stand on this slope, and lean back, and then they gave us general knowledge questions.
‘You know, the Toto song The Rain in Africa?
‘They sang the first bit, Ant and Dec, they said the lyrics, and they said the rain in, you know, they did the lyrics, Seann went: Spain.’
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
