During the same series, fellow campmate Jamie-Lynn Spears also left the jungle after 11 days due to medical reasons.
Lady Colin Campbell, also known as Lady C, left the show after four days during the 2015 season, also citing medical reasons.
The brother of Conor Maynard, Jack, famously departed the show after just two days due to allegations of racism and homophobia from past tweets in 2017.
It is likely that he never recieved his fee for signing up to the show.
Maynard’s publicist said at the time: “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.”
