This year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here got off to a pretty dramatic start when YouTube star Jack Maynard left the jungle after just three days.

Following the resurfacing of a series of old tweets deemed homophobic and racist, Jack was removed from the jungle by his team so he could defend himself.

At the time Jack's spokesperson released a statement confirming his exit, explaining, "It would be better to bring him out of the show."

An ITV rep then added, "Due to circumstances outside camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show."

The Vlogger has since apologised, taking to his popular YouTube channel to issue a statement. He also posted the video on Twitter, along with the caption, 'I'm sorry. You all deserve answers as to what's been going on in the press recently, I have filmed a video to apologise for what I've said in the past and to thank you all for the incredible support.'

Appearing on Lorraine this morning, Jack has hinted now he'd love to opportunity to return to the show one day.

"I've definitely thought about whether I'd go back on," he told Lorraine.

"Now that I'm out it's definitely something that I'd love to go and do again and prove myself."

Jack also added that he missed out on the best parts of the jungle, as he escaped the difficult Bushtucker trials.

"I didn't get the worst of it while I was in there, I didn't get any really tough trials, I was attacked by a leaf which was pretty traumatizing," he revealed.

Jack also went on to praise his fans for sticking by him, explaining people were 'accepting of his apology and that it was genuine'.

He went on to reveal he had spoken to several of his former campmates following their exit from the jungle.

"I've spoken to Becky Vardy and Shappi Khorsandi, they both messaged me as soon as they got out, saying they missed me and were so upset I was out with no idea why and were thinking the worst."

In other I'm A Celebrity news, Georgie Toffolo recently opened up about her secret heartache in the camp.
