\n\t\tDavid Haye has been criticised over his tone with his fellow campmates (Picture: ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> fans have called for David Haye<\/a> to be the first campmate evicted over his \u2018attitude\u2019 problems.<\/p>\n

The former boxer, 45, is no stranger to pulling punches, but he certainly seems to have rubbed fans up the wrong way after ruffling some feathers in camp. <\/p>\n

Thursday night\u2019s episode saw members of the Savannah Scrub reunite with the Main Camp after Craig Charles faced off against Gemma Collins<\/a> in an eating trial.<\/p>\n

However, former heavyweight boxing champion David sparked backlash online with his comments about his fellow I\u2019m A Celeb contestants.<\/p>\n

Sitting around the camp, David asked which other campmates everybody would want in the Main Camp, before saying: \u2018Who\u2019s going to add value? We don\u2019t want any dead weight.\u2019<\/p>\n

After Scarlett Moffatt<\/a> suggested Beverley Callard, David questioned: \u2018What\u2019s she adding? What value is she adding?\u2019 before Craig Charles replied: \u2018She\u2019s a lady, she\u2019s older. It would be nice to give her some comfort.\u2019<\/p>\n

When David stayed quiet, Craig added: \u2018He\u2019s not convinced,\u2019 before David laughed and said: \u2018I say let them fight it out.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking in the bush telegraph, he then said: \u2018I think it\u2019s a sportsman\u2019s mindset. You\u2019re looking for the best team. Are you going to do your job and is it going to assist me being better at what I do so I can win and then we all eat well?\u2019<\/p>\n

Reacting to the moment on social media<\/a>, many fans criticised his tone and how he was annoyed about the camp only receiving six stars for their trial.<\/p>\n

Writing on X, Mishy declared: \u2018Can David Haye be the first one booted out please?\u2019<\/p>\n

Clarkie also quipped: \u2018Well don\u2019t think David is going to win now,\u2019 as @missyoumuch asked: \u2018Is David for real???\u2019<\/p>\n

Commenting on his harsh approach to other celebrities failing to get stars, Leigh added: \u2018Let\u2019s hoping when David Haye gets to do a challenge he gets no stars,\u2019 as Duke wrote: \u2018David Haye needs to drop it out seriously.\u2019<\/p>\n

Summing up a lot of viewer\u2019s frustrations, Vian also said: \u2018What the heck is up with David? Why is he upset with anything that\u2019s less than ten stars? Does he ever think in any way that\u2019s not logical? Jesus Christ, show some emotion!\u2019<\/p>\n

Several fans also compared David\u2019s treatment of his fellow campmates to Sir Mo Farah<\/a>, as Emma wrote: \u2018Mo is also a sportsman, you don\u2019t see him acting this way.\u2019<\/p>\n

She also added: \u2018[David] doesn\u2019t care about people\u2019s feelings only what \u201cvalue\u201d they have to the group. How about just being a kind person? Is it SO hard?\u2019<\/p>\n

This comes after Gemma previously hit out at David for \u2018denying her water\u2019 during her eating trial against Craig.<\/p>\n

Her performance in the challenge did, however, win over viewers who declared that they are now \u2018rooting for her\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
