• Meet the 2023 I ‘m A Celeb campmates

I’m A Celeb’s Jamie Lynn Spears broke down in tears as she discussed falling pregnant at 16 during Monday night’s episode. 

The 32-year-old younger sister of pop icon Britney Spears, 41, wanted to lead as ‘normal’ a life as possible away from the spotlight after giving birth to daughter Maddie – whose father is her ex Casey Aldridge – when she was a teenager in 2008.

When asked by Fred Sirieix about becoming famous at a young age, Jamie Lynn said: ‘We auditioned for a show called All That and I was on All That for three years before I did Zoey [101]. It was very successful. 

‘After I finished Zoey, I had the 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.’

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.’

Fred comforted: ‘We don’t have to talk about this…’

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.’

Jamie Lynn also has Ivey, five, with husband Jamie Watson, and both daughters just appeared in the reboot film ‘Zoey 102’. 

The actress starred in the hit teen drama from 2005 to 2008, and it’s been given a new lease of life with a film version called ‘Zoey 102’ that features guest appearances from the youngsters. 

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.

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.

I’m A Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here! continues Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
