YouTuber Jack Maynard has withdrawn from ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! due to 'circumstances outside camp,' the show has confirmed.
The 22-year-old, brother of singer Conor Maynard, left the Australian jungle after old tweets containing inappropriate language were published by The Sun. His publicist stated he needed to be made aware of allegations and have the right to defend himself.
Presenters Ant and Dec announced his removal mid-way through Tuesday's episode, telling viewers he would not be eligible for Wednesday's bushtucker trial. A spokesperson said: 'Due to circumstances outside camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show.'
Maynard's publicist confirmed the decision was made jointly by his representatives and ITV. The star, who has over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, is 'ashamed' of the tweets, which were mostly posted in 2012 and have since been deleted.
