Who is I’m A Celebrity 2017 contestant Jack Maynard?
Jack Maynard is a YouTube star with a huge online following and around 1.2 million subscribers to his internet channel.
The 22-year-old is the brother of singer and fellow internet sensation Conor Maynard.
His vlogs and video comedy sketches have won him legions of fans.
Jack will become the first YouTube star to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Speaking ahead of his entrance to the jungle, he said: “We are the most famous people you’ve never heard of…
“One of the main reasons I am definitely doing it is to be the first YouTuber to go on a show that is so massive in this country. That is quite amazing.
“You can’t get anything more high profile than this and it’s going to lead to so many other great opportunities. I can’t wait to find out what!”
The singleton admitted that his focus was on his career and that he isn’t looking for love on the ITV reality series.
He explained: “Where I am in my life right now and all the work I am doing, getting into a relationship would be a poor decision. I am focused on me and growing myself as much as possible.”
Jack went on to say: “A Jungle fling? What happens in the Jungle stays in the Jungle apart from all the people watching it. But to be in a place for such a long time with a group of people… Anything can happen…”
