David Haye confirms he's 'suing ITV' after I'm A Celeb: South Africa drama

It may have been a couple of weeks since THAT dramatic final of I'm A Celeb: South Africa, but it seems the fall out between the camp mates and the show is still very much ongoing.

After winner Adam Thomas broke down on his podcast about the way he was treated in camp by co-star David Haye, rumours have been rife that David plans to sue ITV, and now he's finally spoken on the matter.

Taking to his Instagram page to release a statement, David captioned the video with: 'Let’s get ready to rumble!! 🔥🤠🔥 David Haye v ITV 💥'. (sic)

Appearing wearing his sunglasses. David then told his followers: “So, I’ve been inundated from press, media wanting some type of statement in regards to the legal situation with ITV and this defamation case. Yes, the answer’s yes, I am.

“I’m not sure if you know me that well, but those who do know that I don’t like getting pushed around. I don’t like people taking advantage. I’ve had stuff happen in the past, I’ve let certain stuff go and as I’ve got older I’m like, nah, that’s taking the p-ss. So I’m gonna take it as far as it needs to go.

“And when something happens that you think, you’re taking the p-ss here mate and they’re a big powerful multi-billion pound corporation, f--k me, it fires me up.”

He then added: “It’s quite a nice thought, going up against something and someone and an organisation so powerful, where everyone sh--s themselves. Everyone tiptoes around them because they’re so powerful. They can shut you out of the system, they can do this, they can do that.

“Mate, honestly you don’t know me, you really don’t get me if you don’t think I will go at them guns blazing.”

Not stopping there, David then went on: “Yeah they’re bigger than me. They’ve got a thousand times more dough than I’ve got. And what?

“When you’re right and the decision comes down to a judge, I don’t think there’s a judge in the world, once the tapes have been viewed… Once the evidence has been presented, and once they see what the public see, they’ll realise this is reality TV man, it’s not real.

“It may have been manipulated heavily, directed in a certain narrative for a specific reason. And I’m looking forward to a judge seeing exactly what went down and they can make their decision. And I’m looking forward to it.”

With reports in the media suggesting David is going to sue the company for £10 million, he was quick to dismiss these claims, stating it's going to be 'way more'.

He added: “There’s a lot of different elements I can’t talk about. But in regards to how much this claim is going to be. I’m hearing this £10 million number bandied around, I don’t know where it came from, because the number I’m gonna hit them with is way more than that trust me.

“So exciting times. I’m fired up. I’m looking forward to getting back in there with Goliath once again. The truth shall set you free. And that’s all it is. I don’t want any favours. I don’t want anything other than the truth because the truth is the truth. And anyone who isn’t biased and anyone who isn’t on the payroll…"

ITV are yet to publicly respond to David's recent social media comments.

Despite the series being pre-recorded, the final of I'm A Celeb: South Africa aired live in London on Friday 24th April, with Adam Thomas, Sir Mo Farah, Harry Redknapp and Craig Charles all up for the prize of 'Legend'.

Although Adam was crowned the winner, the final was overshadowed by drama in the studio between camp mates, including Adam, Jimmy and David, as well as hosts Ant and Dec.

The fall out from the final has continued on social media in recent weeks.
