Here's why Jack Maynard won't be paid for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
He left the show
You’ve probably heard that by now that YouTube star Jack Maynard has left the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle ‘due to circumstances outside the camp’.
After a series of tweets deemed homophobic and racist resurfaced earlier this week, Jack's spokesperson has released a statement confirming his exit, explaining, "It would be better to bring him out of the show."
An ITV rep added, "Due to circumstances outside camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show."
And now it looks like he may not receive a single penny for his VERY SHORT stint in the jungle.
An ‘unwritten rule’ of the show apparently states contestants will be entitled to their full pay packet after spending 72 hours in the jungle.
Which means Jack is unlikely to walk away with the £25,000 he was reportedly meant to be paid.
Back in 2014, The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins faced a similar predicament after walking out of the show after just a couple of days.
However, given that Gemma managed to stick it out for just over 72 hours, there were rumours she was paid in full.
But, according to a national newspaper, a TOWIE representative has since claimed the GC was paid £4,800 (just a small proportion of her pay packet), and added that she donated the fee to charity.
Now, check out how much the rest of the I'm A Celeb contestants are being paid.
In other I'm A Celebrity news, viewers were left gagging at their TV screens last night when Made In Chelsea's Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo and Rebekah Vardy took part in the first eating trial of the new series.
The girls won eight out of nine stars after a very stellar performance, eating the likes of spiders, fish eyes and parts of animals we don't even want to think about!
On tonight's show two BRAND NEW camp mates are set to enter the famous jungle, including politician Kezia Dugdale and radio presenter Iain Lee.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here continues on ITV tonight at 9pm.
