When was Jack Maynard in I’m A Celeb and why did he leave after three days?

Jack Maynard was in the I’m A Celeb show back in 2017 but had to leave after three days after homophobic and racist tweets he had posted in the past came to light. A spokesperson for the show said at the time that “Due to circumstances outside camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show."

Jack Maynard’s publicist released a statement at the time which read: "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."
