I’m A Celeb’s Jamie Lynn finally mentioned her estranged sister Britney during the ITV show – just weeks after being branded a ‘total b****’ by the pop star in her bombshell memoir The Woman In Me.
The actress, 32, made her debut in the Jungle on Sunday night alongside a host of other stars including Nigel Farage and Marvin Humes.
While Jamie Lynn relaxed in a hammock in camp during Monday’s episode, Fred asked: ‘So where do you live?’
Jamie Lynn replied: ‘I live in the country. We have like 180 acres.’
Fred replied: ‘Wow, like a ranch? Your sister is obviously a superstar, you’re a superstar, why? How come the both of you, what made it?’
Opening up: I’m A Celeb’s Jamie Lynn finally mentioned her estranged sister Britney during the ITV show – just weeks after being branded a ‘total b****’ by the pop star in her bombshell memoir The Woman In Me
Brutal: In her memoir the Hit Me Baby One More Time singer lambasted Jamie Lynn’s behaviour at their family home due to her poor treatment of their mother, who was struggling in the wake of her marriage split
Jamie Lynn replied: ‘I think every family fights and has their stuff but I talked to her before I came here and we love each other.’
Fred clarified his question saying: ‘But the both of you became so famous and so big…’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘Oh, I always say this. My mumma, not in a cocky way at all, my mum literally believed we were the best in the world. I think we grew up, all we ever did was sing and dance, that was our whole household, that’s how we were.
‘We auditioned for a show called ‘All That’ and that’s when I was on ‘All That’ for three years before I did Zoey [101]. It was very successful.
‘After I finished Zoey, I had my love of my life, what I thought, I decided to keep the baby. I was 16. The whole world was like, ‘You’re a s**t, you’re horrible your life is over…’
Fred asked: ‘Oh really? You felt it?’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘Oh yeah. Because I got pregnant young and I was on a kids’ show.’
Fred asked: ‘Your parents were good with you?’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘Yeah, they had a lot going on. I just think they were sad I was in that situation but also it’s your baby having a baby. I had to go hide away for a long time because they were relentless.’
While Jamie Lynn relaxed in a hammock in camp during Monday’s episode, Fred asked: ‘So where do you live?’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘I think every family fights and has their stuff but I talked to her before I came here and we love each other.’
Fred asked: ‘The press?’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘I moved to Mississippi and literally hid. Put a gate around me. I had 20 paparazzi on me every day. They wouldn’t leave me alone. They came and lived in Mississippi, middle of nowhere. It was horrible. I hated it so much.
‘I just wanted to be normal. I wanted my baby to be normal. Everybody told me I was going to be a horrible mum. So I was like I’ve got to raise this baby by myself and I did.’
Jamie Lynn got tearful as she said: ‘When I went away… when I first got pregnant…’
Fred comforted: ‘We don’t have to talk about this…’
Jamie Lynn continued: ‘They didn’t want me to have the baby. A lot of people around me.’
Fred said: ‘But you’ve been amazing. What you’ve done is amazing.’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘When I got out of that, I told my parents I was going to emancipate them, that way I could make my own decisions. I was secretly telling her I was going to doctor’s appointments.
‘I was going to meetings with a lawyer… My poor mum, we put her through it. And so then she was like, she didn’t want me to do that, she knew that would mean I’d probably marry the father and lose my fortune that I’d amassed over the years of working… she said, “Just go baby…”.
‘It was the first time I was in control. My mum did [come and visit]. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, why I wouldn’t take the easy route sometimes, but I just don’t want to.’
In the Bush Telegraph Jamie Lynn said: ‘I’m proud of where I’m at now. I don’t share it in a way of being sad or crying about it, but it’s like, I don’t know, I just… I’m really thankful.’
It comes as I’m A Celeb bosses are believed to already be fearing that Jamie Lynn may quit the show less than 24 hours after entering camp.
She is said to have isolated herself from her her fellow stars, however she must remain in the jungle 72-hours in order to receive her full pay cheque.
Fred clarified his question saying: ‘But the both of you became so famous and so big…’
The actress has reportedly stayed in bed and producers fear that she may be a ‘flight risk’ and jet home to the US.
A source told The Mirror : ‘Away from the cameras and scenes that aired on TV, it’s her behaviour in camp that has become obvious to crew,’
‘She has kept herself somewhat separate, not really socializing — and stayed in bed.’
MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment.
It came after Josie Gibson awkwardly questioned Jamie Lynn about her famous family as the celebs got to know each other after arriving in camp on Sunday.
The This Morning host, 38, quizzed the American actress and singer, 32, about her musically inclined relatives – just weeks after being branded a ‘total b****’ by pop star sister in her bombshell memoir The Woman In Me.
After Josie asked: ‘Who got you into music?’ Jamie Lynn explained: ‘I’ve always kind of been into music, you know what I mean?’.
With the This Morning host going on to enquire: ‘Very musical family, aren’t you?’
Sheepishly Jamie Lynn said ‘Yeah’ and spoke about her mother who loved to play the piano, though failed to mention her elder sister, 41, who has sold 150M records worldwide.
In her memoir the Hit Me Baby One More Time singer lambasted Jamie Lynn’s behaviour at their family home due to her poor treatment of their mother, who was struggling in the wake of her marriage split.
Britney wrote that she arrived home from tour to discover that 11-year-old Jamie Lynn ‘ruled’ their home adding how she felt ‘betrayed’ by how her little sister had ‘changed’ while she was away.
Oh dear: It comes as I’m A Celeb bosses are believed to already be fearing that Jamie Lynn may quit the show less than 24 hours after entering camp
Scary: The 32-year-old was thrown into I’m A Celeb life right away having to complete a skydive then a critter-filled trial ahead of heading into camp
Britney also said she is ‘working to feel more compassion’ towards her sibling after they feuded for years.
Claiming in her tell-all tome that Jamie Lynn told her to ‘stop fighting’ her controversial conservatorship which ran from 2008-2021.
But it appears that actress Jamie Lynn Spears decided to wait a while before she lets rip because she refused to take part in pre-show interviews.
While her co-stars such as Nigel Farage , Josie Gibson and Marvin Humes all answered candid questions before entering the jungle, the 32-year-old actress gave a glimpse of her anticipated diva behaviour by turning down the opportunity.
A show source told MailOnline: ‘While it is a choice whether camp mates take part in the interviews, they usually do – no questions asked.
‘But Jamie said no, that she didn’t want to speak before she entered the show. It was very disappointing, fans of the show are so excited about what she has to say.’
I’m A Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here! continues Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
