In an unexpected twist, Jamie Lynn Spears has abruptly left the ITV reality series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, citing undisclosed medical reasons.
The official announcement of her departure was made by the U.K. broadcaster on social media, but specific details about the nature of her health concerns were not disclosed. The show’s official account, X, posted, “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. #ImACeleb.”
Jamie Lynn, known for her roles in Zoey 101 and Sweet Magnolias, was among the 10 celebrity contestants who entered the Australian outback at the beginning of the month.
The actress recently displayed her versatility by participating in ABC’s Dancing With the Stars and taking on the challenge of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test earlier this year. Fans can also look forward to her return for the DWTS season finale, scheduled to air on Tuesday, Dec. 5 on ABC.
The unforeseen exit transpired on Tuesday night’s episode, with Jamie Lynn Spears emotionally conveying her wish to depart the jungle. In a heartfelt moment, she expressed, “I hate it here so much, I hate it here so much, I hate it here so much. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it here. This place is where people go to have the worst days of their lives. Dear God, please help me to make it. I think I’ve got to leave, I think I’ve got to leave,” confiding in her fellow campmates.
In a conversation with French TV personality Fred Sirieix, Jamie Lynn Spears discussed the experience of growing up in the spotlight alongside her sister, Britney Spears.
Fred, who was not familiar with the Spears family history, inquired about how both Jamie Lynn and Britney achieved fame.
“My mom literally believed that we were the best in the world,” Jamie Lynn explained, referring to Lynne Spears. “I think [when] we grew up, all we ever did was sing and dance. That was kind of our whole household. That’s how we were.”
This path led Jamie Lynn to audition for Nickelodeon’s All That. Following a years-long tenure on that show, she secured the leading role in Zoey 101. The popular series concluded dramatically when Jamie Lynn became pregnant with her eldest child, Maddie, who is now 15.
“I found out I was pregnant, and I chose to keep the baby,” Jamie Lynn revealed. “Having a baby at a young age, especially while being on a kids’ show, brought a lot of judgment from the world. People said, ‘You’re a s**t. You’re horrible. Your life’s over.’ My parents had mixed emotions; they were dealing with the situation, and I think they were just saddened that I was in that position. It’s like your own child having a child.”

During Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy, she found herself needing to “go hide away for a long time” due to relentless press coverage.
“I moved to Mississippi and literally hid. I 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 in the middle of nowhere,” she recalled. “It was horrible. I hated it so much. I just wanted to be normal because I wanted my baby to be normal.”
Amidst these challenges, Jamie Lynn mentioned, “Everybody told me I was going to be a horrible mom, so I was like, ‘I gotta raise this baby by myself.’ And so I did.”
