I’M A Celeb and Celebrity SAS star Jack Maynard has been rushed to hospital for urgent surgery.
The star was left in agony when he got appendicitis “out of the blue,” and he shared an update for his fans from his hospital bed.
Looking downbeat with a face mask on, Jack, 27, held up a peace sign and thanked fans for their lovely messages.
The star wrote: “Finally back home resting up, being pampered.
“For those asking, I got appendicitis out of the blue & had to get it removed straight away.
“Surgery all went fine, no issues, spent a couple of night in hospital & now at home recovering.”
He signed off his message by saying “thanks again guys.”
Jack's older brother is the singer Conor Maynard, who had a string of hit singles and UK No.1 album when he burst onto the scene in 2012.
Jack is famous for his self-titled channel where he posts vlogs, challenges, and occasional comedy skit videos for his millions of subscribers.
Before his web career, he worked as a personal trainer.
Jack sensationally left I’m A Celebrity in 2017 after just three shows, and hit the headlines for racist and homophobic slurs before it was revealed he begged a 14-year-old girl to send him nude pictures online.
The YouTuber's spokesperson at the time released a statement which said that Jack would have to leave the reality show in order to defend the accusations that were made against him.
Speaking about the incident, the girl, leapt to Jack's defence and said: "He was 16, I was 14. It was something that happens to everyone.
"I never once felt harassed. We were kids, it's not once harmed me at all in any way. It’s in the past. It is a serious allegation to make, but you’re a kid, you make mistakes.
"He didn’t know how old I was, and I didn’t know how old he was at the time. I cannot stress enough that the messages were harmless."
Following a number of stories in the press, Jack broke his silence on the scandal by releasing an emotional YouTube video.
Speaking on his 23rd birthday he apologised to anyone he had upset and admitted he was "ashamed" of the things he had tweeted on social media.
He said: "I never wanted to make anything like this, I feel like I’ve let you guys down so much, I was young, I was stupid, I was careless I just wasn’t thinking."
He has also featured in the second series of the celebrity version of the Channel 4 program Celebrity SAS.
Speaking about his time on the show, Jack said: “I was so happy, because I felt so good in myself mentally. I really felt like I kind of gained that confidence back because I had that feeling of if I can go completely out of my comfort zone, in a way like my worst nightmare, and do that as well as I feel I did, I can put my mind and do anything."
