“Finally back home resting up, being pampered,” he continued. “For those asking, I got appendicitis out of the blue and had to get it removed straight away.”

Jack Maynard on I’m A Celebrity
Those with long memories will remember that Jack took part in the 2017 edition of I’m A Celebrity.
However, after just three shows, Jack left the jungle and returned home.
His exit came after a number of offensive tweets he’d allegedly posted when he was 16 came to light.
He was also accused of sending an inappropriate message to a young fan.
Jack left the jungle so as to deal with the accusations levelled against him.
The girl who was subject to Jack’s messages came out to defend the star, insisting the messages were “harmless”.
Jack released a YouTube video on his 23rd birthday apologising for his past mistakes. He confessed to being “ashamed” of what he’d written on social media when he was younger.
Jack later appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins back in 2020.
