David Haye's girlfriend, Sian Osborne, has posted a selfie alongside the former boxer, an image appearing to dismiss recent discord surrounding Haye's participation in 'I'm A Celebrity… South Africa' and his remarks about her. The photograph emerges following a period of public scrutiny, notably after Haye's controversial comments about Osborne's perceived personality, which he likened to that of an "ugly bird."
The couple's public display of solidarity follows a tumultuous finale for the 'All Stars' series, which saw Haye locked in disputes with fellow contestants, including winner Adam Thomas. Haye had publicly questioned Thomas's victory, asserting the actor was "playing the victim." This friction continued even after the show's conclusion, with reports of a confrontation between Haye and Thomas during the final episodes. Osborne herself has previously been placed in a position of defending Haye's statements.

Haye's remarks regarding Osborne's personality, made during his time in the jungle, ignited significant backlash. He posited a theory on "ugly duckling syndrome," suggesting that women who are not initially attractive must develop a compensating personality. He specifically stated Osborne possessed the "personality of an ugly bird." These comments drew criticism and were described by some as sexist, prompting Haynes's camp to suggest there was no malicious intent behind the remark.
Osborne, a professional model who has graced the covers of publications such as Nylon and Style, has navigated the public attention stemming from Haye's statements. She has, at times, indicated a sense of security in her relationship with Haye, despite the public nature of his comments. Her Instagram presence serves as a platform where she documents her life and relationship.
