David Haye has hit back at Adam Thomas (again) over the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa furore after the show winner discussed what had happened during a podcast with his brothers.
The I'm A Celeb winner appeared on his podcast At Home With the Thomas Bro's, which he hosts with his brothers Ryan and Scott, to say he was 'tired' from the whole thing and would like it 'all to go away'.
Thomas said the way Haye had treated him in the jungle was 'bullying', and didn't think it was fair 'to pass it off as banter because it’s not', and revealed Haye had contacted him after the madness of the live show.
He said: "The most disturbing is that I look at David and even after the show and after everything he did, you know he sent me a voice note and was like 'oh mate, what a great show that was. I'm so happy you won. Congratulations'.

"I just sent him a message back just saying, you know 'I think this is where we draw the line and I hope that you find happiness bro, but I'm done'."
Seemingly not prepared to draw a line under it yet, Haye took to Instagram to say he'd listened to the podcast (on double speed as he 'couldn't listen to the waffle') and accused Thomas of having 'spun it so he's still the victim'.
"So, I've just taken the time to listen to Adam Thomas's podcast, him and his brothers, Ryan and Scott," Haye remarked as he said the soap star had been 'crying and moaning'.
"Very interesting, very, very interesting to see. He's had a few days to sit down, mull it over, process everything that's happened, him winning I'm a Celebrity, and how he processed it, and it was enlightening.
"Dishing out banter to me and then losing the banter game. I give it back and you start crying and moaning and somehow he's spun it so he's still the victim."
Saying that Thomas and his brothers had been 'b***hing and whining and moaning', he suggested the brothers hadn't spent enough time around 'proper guys' who had the 'mental resilience to jibes'.
Haye claimed that 'real guys' give each other s**t when things go wrong, and said that what he did during I'm A Celeb had been a 'light sprinkling of primary school banter'.
He continued: "The volume of banter that he received was significantly less than he dished out. So he dished out, couldn't take it.
"This message here, just this message, me explaining it, it's another form of banter."
The former boxer then appeared to turn his ire on the entire world, saying: "Ugh, everyone's so damn soft, it just makes me sick. But it's the world we live in right now, and you're rewarded the softer and weaker you are. The more weak, brittle-spirited you are, the more validation the masses give you."
Declaring he was 'interested in the 15-20 percent of people who listen to me', Haye said he 'couldn't give a s**t' about the rest of them.
This might have been a reference to his social media polls asking if his followers thought he was a bully, as the Mirror reports people overwhelmingly voted that he had been.
The former boxer then turned his focus back to Thomas.
"You're 40 years old and you're moaning that you won a TV competition', said the 45-year-old moaning about something said on a podcast.
He complained that 'a big slice of the population' are people who 'love that soft s**t'.
"So just keep giving them the weakness. Keep giving them that soft, flaccid energy," Haye said, calling Thomas 'Mr Flaccid' before suggesting there was more information to come out.
"But there's a few chicks out there who like a little firmer. Just saying.
"And maybe, maybe your weak-a**e fan base just want the soft marshmallow energy. So just keep giving it to them.
"There's a lot of stuff that is gonna come to light that hasn't come to light, that kind of contradicts this story just a little bit that I'm looking forward to seeing the light of day.
"Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey. And I bet someone will get offended by that phrase, monkey. 'Can't say monkey. It's racist'."
