I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here was rocked by controversy earlier this season, when YouTuber Jack Maynard was booted off the show for a series of tweets he posted a number of years ago. 

It seems that if you're famous on the internet, it might be a good idea to go back and erase all ONLINE evidence of your problematic teenhood, because if Jack's experience is anything to go by, IT will probably be dragged into the present. 

The tweets were seen as racist and homophobic as they contained both the N-word and the word fa****.

Since entering the show, naked photos of the YouTuber, who has over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, were also leaked online.

Maynard already created an entire YouTube video apologising for the tweets, which has almost 3 million views, but he has since taken to Twitter to expand on the issue further. 

'I have taken some time to reflect on the comments, tweets and ultimately my behaviour in the past, including a tweet sent in 2011 that is the subject of a story today,' he said on the social media site.

'I was young, naive and stupid – but as I said previously, age is no excuse.'

'My immaturity meant that I didn't stop for a second to think whether these comments would hurt or harm anyone – something I have learnt is entirely wrong.'

'If I had just thought for a moment, about how stupid they were, I would never have sent them.'

'Nothing can justify the language I used, there is no defence – I am truly sorry.'

'My childish attitude back then is not a representation of my thoughts and feelings now. I take full responsibility and regret my mistakes.'

'As an adult, I understand the effect my words have on people, whether I have a big or small platform to speak from. Again, I am so sorry to anyone I have offended or disappointed.'

Fans and followers are still divided when it comes to accepting Jack's apology. Check out his video below to decide for yourself:

Jack Maynard has utilised his massive YouTube following to put out a new video addressing the offensive tweets which caused him to be booted off I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here earlier this week. 

His first upload since returning from the jungle, the 4-and-a-half minute long video is currently trending on YouTube, with almost 1 million views in 24 hours. 

The vlogger (and brother to singer Conor Maynard, don't you know) left the show and jetted out of Australia after facing criticism for a number of tweets he made previously.

The tweets were seen as racist and homophobic as they contained both the N-word and the word fa****.

'I've tweeted some bad things, some horrible things, some pretty disgusting things that I'm just ashamed of,' he said to his 1.2 million followers. 

'This is such a hard video, I've never wanted to have to make anything like this, I never wanted to feel like I've let you guys down so much, with something so careless and inconsiderate to other people.'

Jack argued that his age and immaturity was the cause of the Tweets, and said that he is truly remorseful for the language he used at the time. 

'I was young I was careless, I just wasn't thinking, this was back when I had just left school and I didn't know what I was doing.'

'Like a lot of you growing up I was all over social media, my entire life is on social media, I've grown an amazing following,' he continued.

'Social media has led to be my entire job, my work is this online and everything that comes with it and I've messed up, I've been really stupid in the past.'

'Growing up online is hard, all I can do is beg and encourage that you guys don't make the same mistake as well,' he concluded. 

'Don't put anything online you wouldn't say to your mum.'

The apology has been met with a mixed response from viewers, with some accepting the excuse of youth and naivety, while others feel the language was unacceptable regardless of age.

I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here kicked off with quite a bang this year, as the celebs were teamed up into pairs to take on their first challenge en route to camp. 

YouTuber Jack Maynard and MIC veteran Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo seemed like a match made in heaven, and took on their first hair-raising challenge valiantly. 

However, Toff has been left partner-less after Jack's dramatic exit from the show a mere three days after it began.

The first images shows the online content creator posing in front of the mirror with his trousers down. The second appears to have been taken by another person, which shows Jack fully nude wearing a cowboy hat. 

Jack's agent released a statement to The Mirror, saying: 'In the last few days Jack Maynard has been the subject of a succession of media stories which, given his position as a contestant on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – filmed in the Australian jungle, with no contact with the outside world, he has been unable to respond to.'

'Since it is only fair that everyone should be aware of any allegations made against them and should also have the right to defend themselves, it was agreed that it would be better to bring him out of the show.'

'Jack agrees with this decision which was made by his representatives and ITV and thanks everyone who has supported him in the show this far.'
