This year's I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! got off to a pretty dramatic start when YouTube star 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.

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 added: "Due to circumstances outside camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show."

A second scandal then followed when it came out Jack had sent inappropriate messages to a girl aged 14 when he was 16 years old.

The YouTube star has since apologised, taking to YouTube 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 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 Jungle news, Georgie Toffolo recently opened up about her secret heartache in the camp.
