Pete Evans is booked for I'm a Celebrity just hours after he was DUMPED by his publisher for posting a cartoon that used a neo-Nazi symbol
Publisher Pan McMillan has severed its relationship with celebrity chef Pete Evans after he shared neo-Nazi content on social media.
The former My Kitchen Rules host posted a comic featuring the neo-Nazi Black Sun symbol on Sunday that was widely condemned online.
'An oldie but a Goldie. There are many different interpretations of this image. Peace and love to all always,' he wrote next to it.
Enormous outrage over the cartoon made it the absolute worst timing for news to leak of Evans being picked for Channel 10's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The publisher for several of his books was quick to distance itself from Evans, and declared his Easy Keto cookbook, released last year, would be its last.

'Pan Macmillan does not support the recent posts made by Pete Evans. Those views are not our views as a company or the views of our staff,' it said.
'Pan Macmillan is currently finalising it's contractual relationship with Pete Evans and as such will not be entering any further publishing agreements moving forward.
'If any retailer wishes to return Pete Evans' books please contact Pan Macmillan.'
The publisher has faced growing calls to drop Evans every time the disgraced chef spread false coronavirus denier propaganda this year.
His latest post remained active on his Instagram page until it was finally deleted on Monday afternoon.
The Black Sun symbol became infamous across the world soon after it was introduced by top-ranking Nazi Heinrich Himmler during World War Two.

Himmler played an integral role in the Holocaust where about six million European Jews were systematically murdered between 1933 and 1945.
The symbol has since been used by numerous neo-Nazi groups, and by Christchurch mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant.
The meme could be interpreted as Evans comparing Donald Trump supporters to neo-Nazis, as it shows a caterpillar wearing a Make America Great Again cap speaking to a butterfly bearing the Black Sun symbol.
Daily Mail Australia contact Evans for comment.
However, Evans has previously been vocal in his support of Trump, often donning MAGA merchandise on social media in the lead-up to the US Presidential election won by Joe Biden.
In recent days, supermarket giant Coles and other brands who stock Evans' food products have been urged to boycott the chef after a series of bizarre Covid-19 comments.
The former My Kitchen Rules judge, 47, appearing on a recent episode of the Ideas Digest podcast, claimed humans aren't contagious and questioned why healthy people should have to 'sacrifice their freedom' to protect the more vulnerable.
In July, Evans claimed that Covid-19 was a 'f**king hoax' and that the pandemic 'doesn't compare to what is happening in the world on a large scale'.

His post (pictured above) lit up on social media, with one user even questioning if Mr Evans had 'come out' as a Nazi supporter
In April, he was fined $25,000 for promoting the Biocharger and its effects on the coronavirus.
Evans has also been scrutinised for his dangerous anti-vaccination views.
He recently claimed he was not an anti-vaxxer, but was instead 'pro-choice' and 'pro-safe vac' - terms which incorrectly suggest some vaccines are not safe.
Anti-vaxxers often spread conspiracy theories with no basis in scientific fact. They claim that 'boosting' the immune system through diet, supplements and sunlight can make people immune to certain diseases, which is completely false.
Before vaccination campaigns in the 1960s and '70s, diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough killed thousands of children, whereas today in Australia, dying from one of these infections is extremely rare.
