CONOR Maynard's brother Jack was the first star to touch down in Australia in preparation for the 2017 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

As The Sun Online exclusively revealed earlier this week, the 22-year-old internet sensation is one of the less mainstream faces who will be heading into the outback this year.

Touching down at Brisbane Airport earlier on today, the YouTube star looked to be in a chipper mood, despite the long flight.

Padding into arrivals with a huge suitcase - which we're assuming he won't be lugging into the jungle - Jack cut a casual figure.

Smiling for the photographers as he became the first celeb to officially be confirmed for a place on the hit show, the similarities to his famous sibling were striking.

Wearing a streetwear chic ensemble, consisting mostly of jet black items, Jack was even more noticeable thanks to the shades, beanie and sliders he was sporting.

Meet Jack Maynard, Youtuber and Vlogger with 1.2million followers

Some viewers of the show may not be familiar with Jack as he's one of a new breed of celebs who owe their fame entirely to the likes of YouTube and Instagram.

He has more than 1.1 million subscribers on Google's mammoth video sharing site, where he posts vlogs, challenges and comedy skits.

The Internet star previously worked as a personal trainer before following his brother into the spotlight.

I'm A Celebrity is heading back to ITV on Sunday, November 19 and speculation is already mounting about the famous faces heading into the jungle.

Scarlett Moffatt wins I'm A Celebrity beating Joel Dommett in the final

It will be hosted by longtime presenters Ant and Dec, while Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash have already headed Down Under to begin filming for the spin-off show with Joel Dommett.

The Sun previously revealed the line-up for this year's show will also include Hollyoaks' Jamie Lomas, along with fellow soap star Jennie McAlpine.

A source said: "Jamie is a good-looking single guy so they are hoping sparks will fly with one of the single girls in the camp.

“There will be plenty of gorgeous girls in there he could end up hitting it off with. “And the bosses know viewers love a jungle romance. Jamie is a really down-to-earth, funny bloke but also doesn’t suffer fools. So they think he’s a great signing.”

Others touted for a jungle stint include Gemma Collins, Charlotte Crosby, Georgia Toffolo and Lauren Goodger.

An ITV spokesman said: "Any names suggested are speculation until we officially confirm our line-up".
