Jamie Lynn Spears WILL get paid full fee despite quitting I’m A Celeb on medical grounds just days before public vote
I’M A Celebrity star Jamie Lynn Spears will get paid the full show fee despite quitting just days before the public vote.
Britney’s sister Jamie Lynn, 32, announced her departure from the ITV programme today, citing medical reasons.
It followed days of tears for the actress, as she admitted struggling with living away from her family.
While she’s walked away early, Jamie Lynn won’t have to worry about her fee being reduced as all campmates are paid after 72 hours.
The news came just days after Grace Dent quit, again on medical grounds, and Nella Rose was exempt from yesterday’s trial.
A show spokesperson said: “Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds.
“She’s been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.”
Jamie Lynn‘s campmates have been told that she has left the jungle and won’t be returning.
Her last appearance will air on tonight’s show.
Britney’s sister struggled in the camp when she first arrived because she missed her kids so much.
The Zoey 101 actress is mum to two daughter’s Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.
She had already threatened to walk a number of times as she struggled with camp life – the first time just three days into the jungle.
On last night’s show she broke down on a couple of occasions after getting to enjoying one cube of chocolate.
Frustrated she told Danielle Harold: “That little square of chocolate p*****d me off.”
Tony Bellew – who has grown close to Jamie – also weighed in on the situation, stating to the Bush Telegraph: “She’s just getting frustrated, she misses her kids.
“She’s so far away from home. It’s good to just go and ask someone how they’re doing. Just look out for each other. Everyone should have that attitude with everybody.”
Prior to that Jamie had said she has discovered a different side to herself since being in the jungle.
She has opened up about her famous sister and also discussed her daughter’s near death experience.
Jamie insisted that everything was fine between herself and Britney – after the pop superstar branded her a “little b****” in her recent book.
She told Sam Thompson: “She’s (Britney) a good big sister, she is. Yeah, I love her… Me and her throw down. The world’s seen that.
“I’ve learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, families fight. Listen, we just do it better than most.”
Since Grace quit on Monday after a series of gruelling challenges and nine days of tough camp life, conditions have worsened.
Fans had predicted Nella would be the next star to leave after she pulled out of the latest trial – despite the public vote.
She took on the Dreaded Bed challenge in a room of the Misery Motel full of snakes, alongside Frankie Dettori, but utterly failed.
It left camp feeling desperate, and The Sun told how bosses feared more stars could follow Grace’s example and quit.
Food critic Grace is already back in the UK after her shock exit.
