I’M A Celebrity star Jack Maynard was booted off the show after he begged a 14-year-old fan to send him nude pictures online.

The YouTube sensation, 22, was hauled out of the Australian jungle yesterday after just 72 hours after ITV bosses learnt of his actions.

They took the drastic decision after learning he bombarded the young girl, who is now a 20-year-old student, with Twitter Direct Messages requesting the snaps.

In the messages Jack, who says he was just 16 at the time and unaware of the girl’s age, asked to “see her boobs” and told her she would look good in “a bra shot”.

It’s thought the girl, who The Sun is not naming, struck up a conversation on the social media site because she was a fan of the vlogger’s pop star older brother Conor, 25.

She said last night: “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.”

After he was axed from the hit show on Tuesday night, Jack’s spokeswoman insisted he wanted to leave the jungle to defend himself.

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

An ITV spokeswoman added: “Due to circumstances outside the camp Jack has had to withdraw from the show.”

It comes a day after The Sun revealed he had made racist and homophobic slurs online.

Jack, who has millions of young fans, casually used the N-word and called other people “******s” in tweets when he was a teenager.

In tweets, some dating back to June 2011, Jack mocked gay men and people with facial disfigurements. He replied to people using the phrase “retarded ******” and referred to pals by the N-word.

His spokeswoman said: “Jack is ashamed of these tweets, many were deleted a long time ago. He would never use that language now.”

Producers removed any trace of Jack from last night’s show, including scenes where he says goodbye to his fellow campmates.

Despite his close friendship with popular Made In Chelsea star Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, 22, there was no mention of Jack’s name in conversations aired from camp.

Bosses set up a stealth exit operation to ensure Brighton-born Jack was smuggled out of Australia, where the show is filmed, and back to the UK.

A TV source said: “The latest allegation of sending inappropriate messages to a fan was the straw that broke the camel’s back for show bosses, days after Jack’s racist and homophobic tweets had already come to light.

“Executive producers were forced to hold tense crisis talk about what action to take and the decision to kick Jack out from camp didn’t come lightly.
