David Haye has labeled Adam Thomas as a “chihuahua” following their public disagreement on the latest season of I’m A Celebrity. The conflict arose when David criticized Adam for not taking part in challenges, prompting Adam to disclose his struggles with arthritis and express how David’s remarks deeply affected him.

In a recent interview, David likened the Emmerdale actor to a small dog, highlighting his indifference towards Adam’s health condition. He compared Adam to a chihuahua, emphasizing his own assertive nature as opposed to Adam’s perceived fragility.

Referring to a video of Adam dancing on TikTok, David also described him as “feminine” and questioned his resilience, suggesting that Adam’s reaction to criticism revealed a lack of mental toughness. David drew from his background in boxing to explain his perspective, implying that Adam may not have the same level of resilience due to a sheltered upbringing.

Adam later shared on his podcast the emotional toll the situation had on him, revealing that he has sought therapy to cope with the aftermath. Despite this, David dismissed the idea of Adam needing therapy, suggesting instead that he should focus on physical activities like push-ups to build strength and resilience.

David’s comments have stirred further debate, with contrasting views on the dynamics of masculinity and mental resilience in challenging situations.
