In a statement, his publicist announced he has agreed to a decision made by his representatives and ITV.
In a statement, his publicist said: “In the last few days Jack Maynard has been the subject of a succession of media stories which, given his position as a contestant on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! – filmed in the Australian jungle, with no contact with the outside world, he has been unable to respond to.
“Since it is only fair that everyone should be aware of any allegations made against them and should also have the right to defend themselves, it was agreed that it would be better to bring him out of the show.

“Jack agrees with this decision which was made by his representatives and ITV and thanks everyone who has supported him in the show this far.”
When Jack entered the jungle Tweets from between 2011 and 2013 were reshared, the vlogger used the n-word, insults aimed at disabled people and referred to other users as “f******”.
One tweet read: “Nandos & film with my n***** #CantSayNo”.
Another post said: “Yeah alright then… Completely forgot you know how I got it YOU RETARDED F******”.
He also tweeted: “Hahaha shutup you f*****… By the way who hit you with a shovel?”
