Scarlett Moffatt has suggested she isn’t close to David Haye and he isn’t in the I’m A Celebrity cast WhatsApp chat following his ‘misogynistic’ comments.
During Tuesday’s episode, David left his co-stars in shock as he bragged about dating a ‘lovely’ woman ‘with the personality of a proper ugly bird’.
David went on to clarify that he meant that less attractive women have better personalities because their ‘banter and jokes’ distract from their appearance.
The former boxing champion was discussing his girlfriend Sian Osborne with Scarlett and Ashley Roberts, who looked horrified by his admission.
Scarlett, 35, has now revealed to Heat magazine that David isn’t someone she regularly keeps in touch with sinvce appearing on the show.
She said: ‘We have a WhatsApp group. Not everyone is in it, I’m not going to lie. I won’t disclose it, but for me personally, I speak to Ashley nearly every day.

‘I speak to Mo [Farah] all the time, Gemma, Bev [Callard], Sinitta and Harry. I think you naturally gravitate towards certain people in any sort of setting like that, but they’re definitwely the ones I speak to all the time.’
Scarlett’s comments come after David horrified viewers with his comments earlier this week while discussing his partner for the first time.
He said: ‘It’d be good to get everyone together as well, after this. [Sian] can cook, for like, 60 people. We have these parties in Costa Rica…’
Pussycat Dolls star Ashley interjected: ‘Who is this woman?’
In response, David went on to describe her as: ‘Tall, blue eyes…’
Sinitta then said: ‘She sounds like she’s drop dead gorgeous.’
David replied: ‘She’s lovely, she’s got the personality of a proper ugly bird.’
A gobsmacked Scarlett Moffatt chimed in with: ‘You can’t say that, David! You can’t say that’, laughing in disbelief.
As Scarlett and Ashley asked what he means by the comment, David clarified: ‘Most ugly girls realise they’ve got to have a personality to banter, tell jokes and s**t.
‘People overlook the fact they’re not aesthetically amazing straight away.
‘What’s it called – Ugly Duckling Syndrome? When girls are ugly when they start off, then get pretty as they get older.

‘But they’ve still got the personality of when they’re ugly.’
Looking down and pulling her hair over her face, Ashley groaned: ‘Oh, dear God…’.
While many were left aghast by David’s view, his girlfriend apparently laughed it off.
A source close to Sian, who has been in throuples with the star, told The Sun: ‘Sian can see why people are upset, but he absolutely did not intend to offend anyone – it was meant as a compliment.
‘He thinks of himself as a bit of a philosopher and was using the ‘ugly duck theory’ to boast about how Sian has it all – the stunning looks and killer personality.
‘Sian found it really funny. She knows David has a heart of gold and worships the ground she walks on. He always treats her with the utmost respect. She doesn’t think he deserves to be labelled sexist.
But viewers had a different view, sharing their thoughts on X: ‘David Haye is pathetic all brawn and no brains but why take his pathetic comment out on his partner? She hasn’t done anything wrong.’
Another said: ‘Who the hell does this David Haye think he is? Mysoginist much??!!’
A third shared: ‘David haye is disgusting saying what he is saying about women vile human being.’
A fourth remarked: ‘Can someone put a muzzle on David Haye? Disgusting, sexist and misogynistic.’
While a fifth added: ‘So David haye is sexist?’
A sixth concurred: ‘I don’t know why David haye is on this again he’s so sexist can’t stand him.’
A seventh penned: ‘How the hell did David Haye make third place last time.’
