After just over a week in the Australian jungle, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here star Jamie Lynn Spears, has left the show early, bringing her dreams of being crowned the Queen of the Jungle to an end.
The 32 year old star left camp early on Wednesday 29 November, after she was excused from the competition any further on “medical grounds” by show bosses.
Fans predicted the star would bow out early, as she struggled with missing her family within the first couple of days.
“I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak,” Jamie Lynn said.
After a pep talk from Sam Thompson and Danielle Harold, the former EastEnders actress told Jamie Lynn: “Look at the s*** you’ve been through in your life, right? This, a little bit of rain in the jungle, nothing.”
To which the Zoey 101 star replied: “But at least all that s*** I could go home to my babies every night, you know? That’s it, that’s all I need in life. It feels a little bit overwhelming. They’re not even close.”
She continued: “I’ve got to just do it. I don’t know why I’m being such a baby.”
But who are Jamie Lynn's children?
The actress found out she was expecting a baby with ex-fiancé Casey Aldridge a short while after her sister Britney Spears shaved her head while suffering a breakdown in 2007.
The TV star was 16 years old when she announced she was pregnant – at the time she was starring in Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 and left the show for parenthood.
Jamie Lynn star disclosed during a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alexandra Cooper that her parents became significantly more controlling after learning about her pregnancy, intensifying their efforts to monitor her every move.
The Zoey 101 star described the experience of feeling "locked away like a princess," where her parents' protective instincts took hold.
Maddie Briann Aldridge was born on June 19, 2008 – a few months after Jamie Lynn's 17th birthday.
Though Jamie Lynn and Casey became engaged in March of 2008, by the following March their relationship was over.
Jamie Lynn has since married Jamie Watson, whom she met through a mutual friend in 2010.
The couple announced their engagement in March of 2013 and were married a year later in New Orleans.
On April 11, 2018, Jamie and Jamie Lynn welcomed their first child together, a little girl named Ivey Joan Watson.
Following the arrival of her second daughter Ivey in 2018, Jamie Lynn opened up about becoming a mum for the second time. She told PEOPLE: "As we all know, there was a lot of chaos around my last pregnancy.
"I would say that being a mom is being a mom: It doesn't matter if you're in your teens or not, there should be no excuse to not be a great mother. It doesn't matter what your age is."
Her daughters made a special cameo in the 2023 Paramount+ film, Zoey 102, which saw Jamie Lynn reprise her role as Zoey Brooks.
Speaking about her daughters' acting debuts, Jamie Lynn told Entertainment Tonight: "Having my two girls be a part of this film and get to make their little debut cameo, if you will, it was so special because they got to do it together. And also, my daughter's friend got to do it with her, who's like another child to me."
"Just seeing those two worlds collide, it was a really proud moment for me as a mom. "[Maddie] told me she liked what she saw — the set and saw the production and what it was.
"She was like, 'Mom, I can't believe that, like, they're all here because this is the movie that you've created.' And that made me feel really proud as a mom that she recognized that and saw you can do big things. It doesn't matter. And seeing her be a part of it was just, it was really a special moment."
