Jack Maynard axed from I'm A Celeb

The 22-year old has been thrown out of the jungle after old tweets resurface. 

Less than 24 hours after entering the I'm A Celebrity jungle, Jack Maynard has been removed from the ITV show.

Jack left the show in the early hours of Wednesday Australian time - Tuesday afternoon here in Ireland - following a number of allegations made against him.

It's understood that ITV bosses took the unprecedented step of flying him home straight away so he could avoid questions from the media in Australia.

Jack was kicked off I’m A Celebrity – to be quizzed on allegations he sent inappropriate messages to a female fan along with some offensive and homophobic tweets that have resurfaced.

Maynard had bombarded his Twitter followers with the n-word, branded certain people "r****ds", and made nasty comments about other fans' looks over several years.

"Jack is ashamed of these tweets, many were deleted a long time ago," his agent told media.
