A source said: "Channel 4 is keen to attract a younger audience and a content creator like Jack has a huge following with that demographic.
"But his past comments on disability were controversial and it's not a good look for a station that prides itself on inclusivity."
Jack faced criticism after posting a comedic sketch where he mimicked someone using a wheelchair - using stereotyped behavior and language that disabled viewers and advocates described as offensive.
TikTok users flagged it as ableist, accusing him of mocking disabilities rather than satirizing broader issue.

I'm a ‘former fatty' who lost 12 stone WITHOUT jabs – being slim means I don't have to eat in the car to avoid judgement
A SELF-DESCRIBED 'former fatty' has admitted losing 12 stone means she's no longer forced to eat dinner in her car. Krista has lost 170lbs over the past four years, but hasn't resorted to weight loss injections or surgery to do so - instead sticking to a calorie deficit and exercising more. 6 Krista, who describes herself as a "former fatty", has shared two things that have drastically changed since she's lost 170lbs Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm 6 She used to find that she was judged for whatever she ate and drank Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm 6 So she used to take her restaurant orders to her car to avoid being judged Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm 6 While another thing she wasn't allowed to do was "be tired" when she was larger Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm She regularly shares tips and tricks on her social media pages, and recently posted a video in which she shared two ways her life has changed since she transformed her figure. "Now that I am skinny I can go to a restaurant and I can just eat whatever I want," "It's cute if I order a burger and fries and eat a lot of food but when I was fat that was not okay. "God forbid I would have ordered a burger! Read more Weight loss stories "I would not have ordered a burger first of all. "I would not have done that just because the judgment around what you're eating, how much you're eating and what you're drinking... they're just like, 'Well of course she ordered a burger, because she's fat, that's why she looks the way she does.' "Or if you try to order a salad or something healthy like grilled chicken it's 'You're not fooling anybody, that's not how you eat - you're 300 pounds!' "You just can't win, so eating in public when you are overweight is mortifying." Most read in Fabulous Things got so bad when Krista was bigger that she'd even resort to eating her restaurant meals in the car. "What I would do is I would eat a couple bites, take my food to go and I would eat it in the car in private," she sighed. I went from 27 lbs in six weeks with Mounjaro after 15 years of trying to lose weight it has completely changed my life "Or I would eat it when I got home, where nobody was judging me." Another thing that's changed dramatically since she lost the weight is that she's now "allowed to be tired". "When you are fat you are not allowed to come around and be like, 'Oh I had such a long day, I just want to go home and sit on the couch'," Krista continued. "The looks you're gonna get, the judgment that you're immediately gonna get, it's disgusting. "But when you're skinny it's okay - it's okay if I had a long day and I want to come home and sit on the couch. "As soon as you are overweight or fat it is not okay because now you're just lazy." Visit our diet, nutrition and weight loss page for the latest updates Krista concluded that the "constant double standard" for those who are skinny and those who are overweight "blows my mind". People in the comments section were quick to agree with Krista, with one writing: "I go to the gym 4 times a week for the past 3 years (I'm fat) and people say 'good for you' 'keep it up'. "My skinny friend goes once in 6 months and someone asked her for advice." "Now I'm pregnant and so much heavier I really appreciate being thin when I'm not pregnant!" a second admitted. "When you're fat, you better be funny, like mandatory, but once you're skinny, if you're the exact same funny it's a cute, surprising, quirky perk," a third sighed. "You're so right!" Krista replied. "I was not funny when I was fat and tried so hard to be, but it's just not my personality!" 6 Krista lost the weight by sticking to a calorie deficit and upping her exercise Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm 6 She's unrecognisable from the person she once was Credit: TikTok/@krista_mm

Boris Johnson wife Carrie hospitalised weeks after giving birth
Boris Johnson's wife has issued a cautionary message to fellow mothers following her two-night hospital stay this week. Carrie and Boris Johnson celebrated the arrival of their baby girl, Poppy, on May 21, marking Boris' ninth child. The couple, who tied the knot in July 2021, are also parents to sons Wilfred, five, and Frank, one, and daughter Romy, three. Just over a month after welcoming her fourth child, Carrie Johnson found herself being treated in hospital for "severe dehydration, a little over a month since welcoming her fourth child. Carrie revealed on Friday how she had been rushed in for treatment and warned fellow mums to "eat and drink enough in this heat". Taking to Instagram stories, she penned: "Being hospitalised for two nights for my severe dehydration was not on my postpartum bingo card. Breastfeeding mums make sure you eat and drink enough in this heat. Especially if your babe is clusterfeeding." The 37 year old continued: "This week has honestly been brutal. Mastitis (me), reflux (her), dehydration (me). What a pair we are! But thank you for all the kindest messages, especially all the brilliant advice on reflux. Really appreciate it and made me feel way less alone going thru it all," reports the Mirror. Mastitis, an inflammation of breast tissue, is a common condition among breastfeeding women. The former Tory Prime Minister has consistently declined to discuss his personal life, but it's widely believed that he is the father of at least nine children, four of whom are with his current wife, Carrie. He has been down the aisle three times, first with Allegra Mostyn Owen, whom he met during his Oxford University days. After a six-year marriage, they divorced and he married lawyer Marina Wheeler in 1993. Their union lasted a quarter of a century before they parted ways in 2018 amidst whispers of his affair with Carrie, who had previously worked as a Tory PR expert. The couple moved into No10 together following Mr Johnson's ascension to PM in 2019. There's a significant age gap of 24 years between the ex-PM, now aged 60, and media consultant Carrie, who offers glimpses into their private life via her chic Instagram account. On the surface, the pair appear quite dissimilar. Carrie, 37, is a trendy modern mum fond of sharing posts about idyllic family holidays, second-hand Vinted treasures, and lunch dates with her extensive group of friends. In contrast, Boris is renowned for his more conventional preferences - his admiration for classics, Shakespeare, and legendary leaders like Winston Churchill has earned him the label of a British eccentric. On May 29, 2021, Carrie and Johnson exchanged vows in a hush-hush ceremony at Westminster Cathedral, opting for an intimate gathering of just 30 guests due to Covid-19 restrictions. Sharing a photo of herself in her budget-friendly €50 rented wedding dress, Carrie expressed her immense joy, stating she was 'very, very happy'. A year on from their initial nuptials, in the summer of 2022, Johnson and Carrie exchanged vows again in a boho-chic style ceremony. The event took place at a Grade I-listed property in the Cotswolds, owned by one of the leading Conservative Party backers, JCB chairman Lord Bamford. Guests were treated to an open-air banquet, with Carrie adorning a garland of white flowers.

He was Kneecap are due on the Somerset festival's West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday. Prime Minister Starmer said it is "not appropriate" for the group to perform at the festival, which started on Thursday. Read more news Asked by The Sun on Sunday if he thinks Kneecap should play, the PM said: 'No I don't. 'I think we need to come down really clearly on this. I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also said the BBC "should not be showing" the band's set in a post on social media. Her post said: "The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. Most read in Showbiz "One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. "As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism." Lead singer from the group Kneecap arriving at Westminster magistrates court in London The band are not currently listed for live broadcast. Avon and Somerset Police said: "Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby." In response to the charge, Kneecap said in a post: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us... 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Hezbollah - founded in 1982 - is an Iran-backed Shiite militia. The Lebanese terrorist organisation voiced support for the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 2023 before launching guided rockets and artillery shells at Israeli-occupied positions. Israel has retaliated with strikes on Gaza - and the conflict remains ongoing, with thousands of people, including civilian children, killed. Kneecap has said they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah", condemned all attacks on civilians, and alleged footage was "deliberately taken out of all context" as part of a "coordinated smear campaign" over their criticism of "the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people". 5 Sir Keir Starmer says it is 'not appropriate' for them to cash in at the festival Credit: Getty 5 Og O hAnnaidh was mobbed by fans outside court earlier this month Credit: AFP
