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.
The backlash prompted conversations and response videos from disability advocates on the platform.
While Jack appears to have deleted the post, it didn't come with a public apology or explanation - leaving fans unsatisfied.
Recently, TikTok's search results show his name still trending with phrases like 'Jack Joseph apology ableism' and 'Jack Joseph ableism reaction,' suggesting that viewers are still calling for clarity or accountability.
This latest news comes after The Sun revealed how former Love Island star Dani Dyer would also be part of the line-up for the new series.
England cricketing hero Graeme Swann is being lined to appear on the next series too.
SHOW SHAKE-UP
We exclusively revealed how Celebrity SAS is set for a major shake-up too, with the new series set to take place in a new location.
A show insider said: 'Last series, there was a bit of a cash crisis at Channel 4 so the series shunned exotic locales and filmed in Wales.
"Bosses made it work but it felt like it wasn't on as big a scale as when they have filmed in foreign climes, so for the next series, execs are blowing the budget and pushing the boat out to film in Marrakech instead.
"It's more expensive but will look amazing on camera.'
The Sun has contacted Channel 4 for comment.

Does Jack Joseph have a YouTube channel?
Jack also has a YouTube channel alongside his TikTok account but has admitted in the past that he's not as active on there as he'd like to be.
Speaking again as a guest on the What's Good? podcast in 2021 he admitted: "For the past year I've been thinking I need to get on YouTube.
"I don't know what to do. YouTube's difficult.
"I want to get into YouTube because, well, there's money in it. There's no money in TikTok."
Jack used his YouTube channel to announce he has started a 90 Day Transformation Challenge, as a response to some experience of fat-shaming online.
He admits: "I haven't been looking after myself over the past couple of years.
"Mainly due to adopting bad habits.
"I've been vaping, eating bad food, not exercising and procrastinating on work.
"Although these things might seem minor in moderation, when you let it snowball it does have a massive mental and physical health.
"However, the best part is it's never too late to change.
"So I've had an idea. I'm going to do a 90-day transformation."
Jack urges his followers to join him in taking on the health challenge, while posting regular updates on his process to inspire others.

From hunky Jack Draper to Emma Raducanu – the who-to-watch guide for Brit Wimbledon hotshots hoping to win big at SW19
We serve up a selection of them before the action starts at SW19 on Monday LOVE ALL OF THEM From hunky Jack Draper to Emma Raducanu – the who-to-watch guide for Brit Wimbledon hotshots hoping to win big at SW19 TENNIS fans will hope Jack is nimble – and quick – as our latest Wimbledon hope takes to the court. World No4 Jack Draper, 23, whose looks have won him a Burberry modelling deal, has a serious shot at the title. 17 Emma Raducanu hopes to go deep into the tournament after a recent return to form Credit: Getty On the ladies' side, former US Open champ Emma Raducanu, 22, hopes to go deep after a recent return to form. There are 23 Brits in the singles – 13 men and ten women – which is the most since 1984. Mike Ridley serves up a selection of them before the action starts at SW19 on Monday. Hannah Klugman, 16 - GB No17, world No577 STAR-in-the-making Hannah will feel right at home – as her family live in Wimbledon village in South West London, not far from the All England club. The youngest of four sisters, she excelled at all sports and only plumped for tennis after the Covid pandemic. 17 Hannah Klugman was the first Briton to make the final in Paris since Michele Tyler in 1976 Credit: Alamy At 14, Hannah gave up going to school and did her GCSE studies online. Earlier this month, that decision already looked to have been a good one as she became a junior Grand Slam runner-up at the French Open. She was the first Briton to make the final in Paris since Michele Tyler in 1976 and experts are now marking her out for big things – and she already has experience of a grand stage. Sun tennis writer Rob Maul says: 'There are three British female teens in the draw [also Mika Stojsavljevic, 16, and Mimi Xu, 17]. She is already impressive, and she is part of the future for Wimbledon.' British world No719 qualifies for Wimbledon but is BANNED from claiming £66,000 prize money Katie Boulter, 28 - GB No2, world No41 LEICESTER CITY fan Katie Boulter has never got as far as the second week of a grand slam tournament – despite being Britain's No2. On her day, statuesque Katie can upset the form book but experts reckon she is perhaps a little too inconsistent to be among the game's elite. 17 Katie Boulter has never got as far as the second week of a grand slam tournament – despite being Britain's No2 Credit: News Group Newspaper Ltd 17 Katie is engaged to Aussie world No11 Alex de Minaur after dating him for about three years Credit: Instagram She is engaged to Aussie world No11 Alex de Minaur after dating him for about three years. The couple have date nights during tournaments, which they post about on social media. Alex, 26, was born in Sydney then trained for years in Spain. But while Alex was unsure whether to play for Spain or Australia at the Olympics, before choosing the former, Katie was famously pictured in 2018 cheering on England's World Cup footballers. Katie, who has suffered many injuries over the years, including a stress fracture of the back, is very close to her grandparents who live in the East Midlands where she grew up. She also appreciates going out with a man who understands the pressures of the game. Emma Raducanu, 22 - GB No1, world No38 ONE of the most scrutinized female athletes in world sport and one of the most famous. As Britain's No1, the whole country will be rooting for her during the championships. 17 Carlos Alcaraz has been romantically linked to Emma Credit: PA And amid rumour of a romance with Spanish world No2 Carlos Alcaraz – who at 22 has won five grand slams including two Wimbledons – he will surely be keeping an eye on her matches. Will former US Open winner Emma rediscover that old magic, on the back of promising recent results? Or will she be affected by news that the stalker who reduced her to tears in Dubai in February tried to get tickets for this year's Wimbledon, only to be red-flagged and denied. She will be grateful organisers had beefed up security but all eyes will be on her game. If she can overcome those worries and avoid injury, Emma could go a long way. Whatever happens, there will be plenty of drama. Jodie Burrage, 26 - GB No7, world No164 SHE missed Wimbledon last year through injury, so hopes her luck will change. But judging by a bizarre event that happened at the pre-Wimbledon tournament in Eastbourne this week, she might wonder. 17 Jodie Burrage missed Wimbledon last year through injury, so hopes her luck will change Credit: Getty 17 Jodie is dating Scots rugby international Ben White, who plays scrum half for French club Toulon Credit: Instagram BBC commentator Annabel Croft could not believe her eyes when Jodie's opponent in the last 16, reigning Wimbledon ladies champ Barbora Krejcikova, fired a shot through a hole in the net. Krejcikova generously conceded the point but the Czech ace went on to win the match. Surrey smasher Jodie is dating Scots rugby international Ben White, who plays scrum half for French club Toulon. At last month's French Open, Jodie said uncertainty over whether Ben, 27, would be picked for the British Lions squad to tour Australia this summer was affecting her form on the court. In the end, Ben was not selected – so expect to see him at Wimbledon cheering on Jodie. Jack Draper, 23 - GB No1, world No4 ONE of the most eligible men in tennis, young free and single Jack is a Burberry model with an equally fine-looking tennis game. Now at a career-high world No4, he is hotly tipped to win Wimbledon, if not this year then soon. 17 Jack draper is a Burberry model with an equally fine-looking tennis game Credit: Getty 17 Jack with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in an ad for Burberry swimwear Credit: Burberry He would be the first English champ since Fred Perry in 1936 – and looks the heir apparent to Scots sensation Sir Andy Murray, who twice claimed the spoils at SW19 before retiring. After winning the Indian Wells tournament in California earlier this year, and making the semi-finals of the US Open in 2024, big-serving leftie Jack is the real deal at just 23. The Man United fan, who grew up in Ashtead, Surrey, and started out at Sutton Tennis and Squash Club, also stands out for his chiselled looks. He set hearts fluttering when pictured recently jumping topless from a boat with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in an ad for Burberry swimwear. But he has no love match at the moment and is just pals with Rosie, and her Hollywood star other half Jason Statham. He says: 'I'm always on the road, always playing, always training. It's tough to sustain any relationship.' Having banked nearly £6million in prize money, and plenty more from endorsements and modelling work, he is dream boyfriend material for whoever should get so lucky. But for now, his No1 fan at Wimbledon will be mum Nicky, a former junior tennis starlet. His dad Roger, meanwhile, is an ex-boss of the Lawn Tennis Association, the sport's UK governing body, so was tasked with finding the country's next Wimbledon champ. Sun tennis correspondent Rob Maul says: 'Remarkably, he didn't have to look far!' Henry Searle, 19 - GB No119, world No409 THE teen wildcard from Wolverhampton may have a lowly world ranking – but he already has some serious form on the lawns of Wimbledon. It is only two years ago that 6ft 4in Henry became the first Brit to win the boys title, since football legend Stanley Matthews' son. 17 Henry Searle may have a lowly world ranking – but he already has some serious form on the lawns of Wimbledon Credit: Rex Since Stanley Matthews Jnr picked up the trophy in 1962, it has been won by a host of kids who went on to become tennis greats including Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl. The left-hander is the son of cricketer Harvey Trump, an off-spin bowler who played for Somerset between 1988 and 1997, and his first wife Emma. Henry has a huge following of fans and friends who join him at matches, wear identical T-shirts and making a lot of noise supporting his every shot. Sun man courtside Rob Maul says: 'Henry is quite a shy lad who doesn't say a lot but he has what it takes to be a real star of the future.' Jacob Fearnley, 23 - GB No2, world No51 HOTSHOT Jacob is drawing comparisons with a famous fellow Scot, two-time Wimbledon champ Sir Andy Murray, and recent results show the new pretender may just fit the bill. He has had a meteoric rise to No51 in the world rankings, from a lowly 664 at the start of the year, and it seems the only way is up. 17 Jacob Fearnley is drawing comparisons with a famous fellow Scot, two-time Wimbledon champ Sir Andy Murray Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 17 Jacob with stunning US girlfriend, beach volleyball star Keagan Polk Credit: / Instagram The powerfully built big-hitter was born and brought up in Edinburgh where mum Sam, who worked for the NHS, taught him to play tennis from the age of three. But Jacob looks like an American – wears his baseball cap backward and speaks with slight Texan drawl. That's because he came through the US college ranks rather than a tennis academy. He spent five years at the Texas Christian University where fellow Brit Cameron Norrie also built his game, and it is where he met his stunning US girlfriend, beach volleyball star Keagan Polk. At the Australian Open earlier this year, she cheered him on to a win against Aussie bad boy Nick Kyrgios in the first round. She was also in Jacob's box at Wimbledon last year when he took a set off the greatest player of all time, Serb superstar Novak Djokovic. But he has his work cut out in his first match at Wimbledon – up against much-hyped Brazilian teen Joao Fonseca. Dan Evans, 35 - GB No5, world No170 LIKE seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic, who comes into this year's tournament aged 38 and world-ranked six, our Dan is in the twilight of his career. Aged 35, he may not have too many more SW19 appearances in him, so catch him now. 17 Dan Evans comes into this year's tournament aged 38 and world-ranked six Credit: Getty 17 Dan will be cheered at Wimbledon by wife Aleah Credit: Alamy The former Brit No1 has slipped to world No170 from a high of 21 just two years ago and only got into this year's draw with a wildcard – but a recent run of form suggests a thrilling last hurrah could just be possible. One of the most working-class players on the circuit, Brummie electrician's son Dan spent a year off the tour after testing positive for cocaine in 2017 but stormed back with a vengeance and is a reformed man. He did Team GB proud last year at the Paris Olympics as he made the doubles quarter-finals with Sir Andy Murray – in the former world No1's emotional farewell to the game. Dan is now is giving his all to his time left on court and delighting fans with his mischievous game of crafty spins. Based in Dubai nowadays, he will be cheered at Wimbledon by wife Aleah as he starts against fellow Brit Jay Clarke, 26, who is GB No7 and world No199. Dan and Aleah plan to have kids once he hangs up his racquet – and he has banked more than £6million in prize money alone so will have plenty of cash for family holidays. The single-handicap golfer will also have time for honing his swing, and following his beloved Aston Villa. OTHER HOME ACES TO SEE FROM talented teens to a most unlikely 11th-hour men's qualifier, here are some other British players to watch . . . 17 Welsh wildcard Mingge 'Mimi' Xu is only 17 and already British No10 Credit: Reuters TIPPED for big things, Welsh wildcard Mingge 'Mimi' Xu is only 17 and already British No10. Born to Chinese parents who met at Swansea University, she is world No318 and has a big ask in round one . . . against Emma Raducanu. 17 Oliver Tarvet battled through qualifying this week into the main draw Credit: Getty HE is the world's 719th best player and No33 in Britain – but Oliver Tarvet, from St Albans, battled through qualifying this week into the main draw. If he wins his first match, against a fellow qualifier, Oliver, 21, could face reigning champ Carlos Alcaraz. 17 Mika Stojsavljevic, 16, is a big server with a style like her childhood idol Maria Sharapova Credit: Getty WILDCARD Mika Stojsavljevic, 16, is a big server with a style like her childhood idol Maria Sharapova. Born in West London to a Serb dad and Polish mum, the 6ft belter made headlines in junior circles by winning last year's US Open girls' title.

Mafs star Holly Ditchfield looks loved-up as she kisses her convicted drug dealer boyfriend after surprise engagement
MARRIED At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield looked loved-up today as she kissed her convicted drug dealer boyfriend. The reality star and partner Aaron Summers, 28, hugged and kissed in Manchester after getting engaged last month. 8 Holly Ditchfield snogged her fiancé Aaron in Manchester today Credit: mancpicss66/Aaron Parfitt 8 The loved-up pair got engaged last month Credit: mancpicss66/Aaron Parfitt 8 Their whirlwind three month romance is moving fast Credit: mancpicss66/Aaron Parfitt Smitten Holly, 29, couldn't stop beaming as she held her man, who wore a chunky silver chain, shades and a white T-shirt. The mum-of-two wore green figure-hugging sportswear and draped a jumper over her shoulders. The outing comes after Holly revealed the moment Aaron popped the question during a romantic date night. He got down on one knee while they dined inside a garden igloo pod, leaving Holly stunned and crying with joy. She captioned the post: "The easiest 'YES'. "You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you're my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day. "I finally understand the meaning of 'finding the one'. I love you." Holly's former MAFS co-stars raced to congratulate the pair. Polly Sellman wrote: "Oh Hol, so happy for you my girl." Kristina Goodsell posted: "So so so happy for you, you deserve the world." Watch MAFS stars make up at emotional reunion after bitter feud Emma Barnes shared: "Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!! Congratulations guys." Aaron, from Dagenham, pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021. He allegedly cheated on his partner with Holly - and she found out days before giving birth to his third child. Holly is said to have been aware of Aaron's partner's pregnancy, but decided to go Instagram official with him in PDA-filled snaps just three days after the birth. A source told The Sun at the time: '[Holly and Aaron] had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend. 'He was already in a relationship with a different girl who was heavily pregnant and had the baby on Thursday. They met the day after - Holly fully knows about this. She portrayed herself as a girl's girl on the show. 'Aaron was at the birth and then drove four and a half hours to Holly's house [in Huddersfield]. The baby's mum put the photo of the baby on Facebook on Friday and then Holly posted a photo with Aaron on Sunday.' The couple allegedly met through TikTok earlier this year, where Aaron does content creation work under the username bigazz1. 8 The couple met through TikTok in February Credit: mancpicss66/Aaron Parfitt 8 Aaron's been introduced to Holly's two children Credit: mancpicss66/Aaron Parfitt Things are said to have moved quickly, according to a source who told The Sun that Aaron had already met Holly's kids. The source continued: 'They started chatting in February - they met through TikTok. 'He has a platform on there - it's where he makes his money. 'Recently he's been posting content about going to Morocco, before that he was trolling people online. 'He also classes himself as a bit of a rapper - but he should just stick to the day job.' Aaron is a father-of-three, with a daughter and a son from two previous relationships - as well as his latest welcome addition. Holly previously failed to find her happy ever after with E4 groom Alex Henry, 28, and split during the MAFS experiment. 8 The reality star showed off her huge diamond engagement ring Credit: Instagram 8 TikTok creator Aaron popped the question during a romantic date night Credit: Instagram
