Iâm A Celebrity fans were left open-mouthed by Gemma Collinsâ response on Tuesday nightâs episode considering David Haye took a swipe at her looks earlier on in the series.
The boxer and fellow red team member Ashley Roberts took part in the latest Bushtucker Trial, The Wicked Watering Hole, and went up against green teamâs Adam Thomas and Craig Charles.
The four celebrities had just 10 minutes to try and find as many golden nuggets in the ground as they could, while tethered to a bungee rope.
The green team were crowned winners, meaning that David and Ashley were the losers, and David wasnât too happy about it.
Green team member Gemma was the first to reassure him that he didnât have to worry about not winning â and some fans were confused about her support, considering what he had said about her last week.
David confessed: âItâs gonna eat me up for a while.

The GC comforted David after losing the challenge on Tuesday night
âThey tried to get under my skin, and they have, thatâs what they should do, and I expect nothing less. I donât like losing any rounds.â
Before giving him a hug, the GC told him: âYouâre not a loser, David.â
âI am a loser,â he replied.
She continued: âDonât be hard on yourself, tomorrow is another day, dust it off, youâre always a champ, you know that. Love ya.
âCome on, itâs not the end of the world.â
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion.
âGemma Iâve never been a fan of but how sweet was she with David tonight! #ImACeleb.â
âGemma is being nice to him even though heâs been an absolute c*** to her! Sheâs better than me! #imaceleb.â
Viewers rushed to X to share their confusion over why Gemma comforted David
âI wouldnât care Gemma. David needs to be knocked down a peg or two.â
It comes after during Fridayâs episode David appeared to make a comment about Gemmaâs weight.
âThatâs a lot of hair youâve got now,â Craig told the former TOWIE star.
Gemma said: âIâve got very thick hair, havenât I?â
âIt definitely ainât thin!â David chimed in.
Gemma and David havenât seen eye to eye since the start of the show.
The reality queen furiously took aim at David after she made her arrival in the Iâm A Celebrity All Stars camp last week.
She missed out on a place in the main camp after losing a bushtucker trial to Craig, and was quick to vent her fury at the boxer after he insisted she should have been denied water during the challenge.
While completing the eating task, Gemma had asked whether she could have a drink, but David declared she shouldnât until she finished the dish.
It was a comment that didnât sit well with Gemma, and she later branded David âevilâ to her fellow campmates, before launching into a gossip about claims heâd been involved in âthrouplesâ with other women.
David and his partner Sian Osborne are known to regularly spend time in a âthroupleâ, with the pair previously linked to Saturdays star Una Healy and actress Helen Flanagan.
The sportsman sparked the row with Gemma while she was chowing down on eight Critter Canapes which were made out of blended ant eggs on a cracker.
As she asked: âTheyâre very dry, can you have a drink?â David cut in and said: âI didnât think you was allowed water until youâd finished.
âForget about the rules, rules are the rules.â
Gemma then shared her upset at David in the following episode, telling Adam Thomas: âI just canât get over that David Haye â instead of thinking, âgo on girlâ â actually refused me water. Thatâs evil.â
While Adam said âshouldnât dwell on it,â Gemma hit back: âI canât get over it.â
Adam tried to defend David, with Gemma noting that âhis background was completely different to theirs.â
But later that day, Gemma began to gossip about Davidâs personal life, asking Adam: âHe wants to win, heâs in it to win it⊠do you think all that throuple stuff is true?â
Stunned, Adam replied: âWhat, him and two girls? Youâre lying!â while Gemma added: âHoney, itâs everywhere in the press! Heâs in a permanent throuple, the geezer.â
Adam burst into laughter while Beverley Callard asked: âDid you know this was a thing?â
âAre you sure thatâs the right word for it, throuple?â the Waterloo Road star said.
Gemma confidently added: âYes! Do you think he denies them water?â
While Gemma has been in a relationship with Sian since 2020, the pair were previously rumoured to be involved in a three-way romance with Una, which she denied, saying she only had a âlovely relationshipâ with the boxer.
The pair were also linked to actress Helen, who also denied she was in a throuple but confessed she âfell in loveâ with David.
In 2023, Davidâs âthroupleâ pal Mica Jova hit out at Una for âtrying to put a bad lightâ on David and Sian.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Mica slammed Irish singer Una for speaking out against them.
She said: âDavid is one of the most gorgeous souls out there and Sian is a sweetheart.
âThey are such good people so I really donât understand why Una Healy is trying to put a bad light on those two.â
