  • Jack Maynard in homophobic and racist Tweet shame

    He’s only just gone into the jungle, but Jack Maynard’s time on the show, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here could be cut short after racist and homophobic tweets were found on his Twitter account.

    The YouTuber, Jack Maynard has come under fire after a series of homophobic and racist tweets were discovered on his Twitter timeline. The tweets included the use of the “n-word”, which he used to describe a friend and “faggots” which he used as a slur.

    He also used the term “retard” as an insult towards people.

    The tweets, which were uncovered by The Sun,  date back up to six years. He was a teenager at the time of publishing these tweets.

    The 22-year-old YouTube star has over a million subscribers on the video platform and has hundreds of thousands of fans on Twitter and Instagram, he has 700,000 and 600,000 followers on each respective social media site. Before becoming a YouTuber he worked as a personal trainer.

    In the unearthed tweets he mocked gay men and called friends the racist “n-word” term repeatedly. He also poked fun at people with facial disfigurements.

    “Faggots”, Retards and “N-Words”

    In a post dated February 2013 he replied to one critic saying,  “hahaha shutup you f****t… By the way who hit you with a shovel?”

    In one tweet, posted online in June 2011, he wrote, “At alices with my n****s!”

    He also repeatedly calls people “retards”.

    “Ashamed”

    A spokesperson for the YouTuber said, “Jack is ashamed of what he said in these tweets, many of which were deleted a long time ago and were sent in response to a neighbour who was bullying him. Jack was a lot younger when he posted them in 2012 but realises that age is no defence. He would never use that language now and realises that, as someone who was bullied himself, this kind of retaliatory, inflammatory, insulting language is completely unacceptable.”

    An ITV spokesperson issued a statement which said, “Jack has issued a full apology and has deleted the tweets that he sent.”

    THEGAYUK.com reached out to ITV for comment.

    Last week, a former editor, Josh Rivers, of Gay Times Magazine was fired after just 20 days in office, after an investigation by Buzzfeed into Rivers’ Twitter account. Dozens of racist, homophobic, fat-shaming and antisemitic tweets were found. The bosses at Gay Times briefly suspended and then fired Rivers, in a move which was widely praised by critics.

  • Is Honey G set for the Celebrity Jungle?

    Will Honey G be joining a cosmos of stars for this year’s romp in the Celebrity Jungle?

    The newly out X Factor star, Honey G, could be joining fellow celebs in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the bookies are giving good odds that she will – currently, Betway is giving odds of 9/4 that the Honey-to-the-G will be swinging in.

    Last year, despite a very public hate of the X Factor star, Piers Morgan called for the rapper to enter the jungle saying on his morning show, Good Morning Britain,

    “Can we put Honey G in the jungle and have her attacked by rats?

    “Wouldn’t that be perfect television?”

    The outspoken journalist called Honey G “grotesque” and “diabolical”!

    Earlier this month Honey G, real name Anna Gilford has told The Sun‘s Dan Wooton that she has decided to come out and reveal that she wants to be with women. In a candid interview, she said,

    “I was in the process of kind of deciding if I was going to stay with the boyfriend that I had at the time.

    “I was DJing in Ayia Napa and I met someone out there and that was the turning point.

    “I didn’t have real girlfriends until I finished university.”

    The star also revealed that she hopes to find a woman to settle down with and start a family saying that she has wanted kids since she was 19-year-old.

    So maybe she’ll be finding love in the jungle?

    According to Betway Joel’s odds of winning have shortened from 14/1 to 7/2.

    A spokesperson for the Bookie said,

    “There’s been a massive market move for Joel Dommett after Sunday night’s opening episode. The Skins star’s odds plummeted from 14/1 into 7/2 straight after he revealed his torso in the Jungle’s shower.

    “The shortening of Dommett’s odds is the most drastic I can remember in I’m A Celebrity history!

    “Scarlett Moffatt looks a shaky favourite now. We’ve pushed her out from 7/4 to 5/2 and that price could slip further if she fails to grab the public’s attention.”

    So what did people get into a lather about?

  • 9 Things About Lady Colin Campbell

    Lady Colin Campbell has been getting a lot of airtime on this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here but just who is Lady C?

    1) Mistakenly Lady C was raised as a boy by her family. A “cosmetic malformation” of the genitals (fused labia and a deformed clitoris) wrongly led the doctors to misgender her. She has written at length about her struggles of being raised male when she was physically female.

    2) She was given the name George William Ziadie but changed her name to Georgia. When she turned 21 she had surgery with money given to her by her grandmother. Speaking about the surgery she said, “No one, ever faced the knife more eagerly than I. You would have thought I was going on a wonderful cruise – which, in a way, I suppose I was.” She was given a new birth certificate and officially became Georgia Arianna.

    3) Georgia successfully sued a number of publications who claimed that she was born a boy.

    4) If you’re wondering why she’s called Lady Colin Campbell it’s because she’s kept her ex-husband’s name, Lord Colin Campbell. The pair married after just 5 days in 1974. She left him after 9 months citing abuse and the couple divorced after 14 months. She still uses her married name.

    5) She was born in 1949 in St Andrew, Jamaica to the prominent Ziadlie family. She has described them as going from being “revered to reviled to treasured as exotica”

    6) Perhaps one of her most notable achievements is her biography on Princess Diana, which was released in 1992.

    7) She wants to lose a stone whilst she’s in the jungle. She revealed, “Rice and beans are fine asI will be perfectly happy to lose weight!”

    8) She has no ambition to win, she said, “my life is not going to change whether I win or whether I am booted out first.

    9) Lady Colin Campbell is currently single and she’s definitely not looking for love in the jungle.

    10) Katie Hopkins is a fan. In a recent tweet Hopkins said that when she grew up she’d like to be just like Lady C. Now there’s a fan to be proud of.
