I’m A Celebrity’s Jamie Lynn Spears threatens to ‘quit’ jungle after just three days

Jamie Lynn Spears dramatically threatened to quit I'm A Celebrity after just three days in the jungle, during another tearful moment.

The younger sister of pop star Britney Spears had a meltdown on Tuesday’s episode of the ITV show after her campmates failed during a mini challenge to get her luxury item, which was a photo of her two children.

This resulted in her storming into the bush telegraph and declaring that she was ready to go home.

“I just want to see my kids,” Spears sobbed, a sentiment she has expressed repeatedly since entering the jungle.

The Zoey 101 star is mum to daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, 5.

If she does walk, this wouldn’t be her first time exiting a reality show, as Spears previously quit US show Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test after just 48 hours in training on account of missing her children.

I’m A Celeb viewers were left baffled by her reaction and questioned online whether she had ever seen the show which she had signed up for.Taking to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: “I don’t think Jamie Lynn has ever watched this show before.”

“Jamie Lynn having a diva moment. Why come on the show if you can’t handle being away from your kids?” penned another.

While a third quipped: “If Jamie Lynn walks now, she will have been in the camp nearly as long as I’ve spent watching the adverts.”

Others labelled her a “drama queen” and urged her to “get a grip”.

Elsewhere on the episode, First Dates host Fred Sirieux apologised to YouTuber Nella Rose after she took offence to comments he made about his age.
