Jack Maynard spotted at Brisbane airport ahead of I’m A Celebrity launch

Look who has been caught arriving at the airport in Australia!

We all know the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses like to keep the contestants a surprise until launch night.

But there’s one insurmountable issue that gets in the way of that secrecy every year…

Nope, not the celebrities spilling the beans themselves: it’s the fact they have to somehow fly from the UK to Australia without being detected.

And given eager paps are camped out at the airport in Oz waiting to catch whichever British celeb happens to jet in, there’s no surprise the airport walk is the reason most jungle stars get rumbled before the show even begins!

So the fact one celeb linked to the jungle has been seen arriving at Brisbane airport with just a week to go until I’m A Celebrity starts kinda equals a confirmation they’re taking part, right?

YouTuber Jack Maynard, who is the brother of popstar Conor Maynard, touched down in Australia on Friday morning.

Naturally, it’s led pretty much everyone to assume he’s a dead cert for the jungle.

If you’re not familiar with Jack, don’t worry!

The 22-year-old isn’t exactly a household name (yet!) but he has a large youth following with 621,000 followers on Twitter, 714,000 on Instagram and 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube.

His older brother Conor, 24, rose to fame in 2012 with the single Can’t Say No.

Follow-up tracks included Vegas Girl and R U Crazy, while debut album, Contrast, peaked in the charts at number one.

Jack’s fans are certainly thrilled to see him heading over to Oz and have been wishing him luck on Twitter already.
