“He pulled guns on people, everything,” he explained after former model Kelly Brook asked him if the “rumours were true”.
Sharon became the Black Sabbath rocker’s manager in the late ’70s, a career move that didn’t go down well with agent Arden.
“He sent hitmen after them, mobsters would show up with guns at gigs…”
“[Mum] was his protégé, he taught her everything and he did all sorts of screwed up things.

“Had my mum sign all these documents and everything was in her name so he would never get in trouble….they would firebomb other record companies.”
Jack added, “That’s why my grandfather knew the Krays.”
He explained that his mum Sharon eventually found out her dad was a crook, stealing money from bands at the time.
He told the camp: “After she left and took management of my dad, they took them to court.

“They had to essentially pay him a million dollars to break the contract.”
Speaking about why he didn’t know his grandad until his teens he said, “My mum actually told me he was dead.”
His wild Hollywood story comes after Jack sparked feud rumours, calling out his co-stars during Thursday night’s I’m A Celebrity.
“It’s very quiet around here,” Jack said of the new camp layout in the Bush Telegraph.
“It’s really nice just to have a quiet camp, and nice to just be mellow with everyone.
“And actually, I think Ginge really needed this because he’s been getting pretty burnt out on drama camp.”
The camp was split into two, with the winners of a recent trial made up ‘Win City’, while the losers were sent to the grim ‘Doomsville’.
Fans think Jack’s comments about content creator Angry Ginge could hint at a secret feud between the two groups.
One wrote on X, “Drama camp, wtf does that mean Jack.”
While a second wrote, “#imaceleb ‘drama camp’???? what does that mean jack?”
“Jack would be finished by now,” penned a third.
