I'm A Celebrity's Jamie Lynn Spears baffles fans with show admission

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! launched its 2023 series on Sunday night with a slew of new stars tackling the Australian jungle.

One of the stars this year is Jamie Lynn Spears, who is of course the younger sister of pop royalty Britney Spears. During Jamie Lynn's, 32, pre-show VT, the star labelled herself as an actor and singer, saying: "I'm best known for being an actress and a singer!" However, viewers were quick to react to the scene as they pointed out she is best known for being Britney's, 41, sister.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "Jamie Lynn Spears - 'I’m best known for being a singer and an actor!' Who’s gonna tell her? #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity", a different account put: "best known for being a singer and actor" Hunny buns, ya Britney Spears sister. Sit down. #imaceleb", another viewer wrote: "When Jamie Lee says she’s best known for being an actor and singer #ImACeleb..." while a different fan joked: "NOT Britney Spears sister everyone, best known as an actor and singer #ImACeleb" with laughing emojis.

It comes as Jamie Lynn has already proved to be a bit of a headache for I'm A Celebrity bosses after refusing to take part in media chats prior to entering the jungle. While it is not required by their contract to speak to journalists ahead of starring on the ITV show, it is incredibly rare for a celebrity to not do so. A TV source told the Mirror: "It is disappointing Jamie Lynn wouldn't speak to journalists out in Australia. She kept her head down at Brisbane airport which is fair enough after a long flight, but it is highly unusual to not take part in the media chats whilst waiting to go into camp this week.

"In fact, it is almost unprecedented and even Boy George took part last year when he has rarely done interviews for a decade. The last contestant we can remember to refuse to do the pre show interviews was David Gest, and that was back in 2006. It is not a great sign if you are hoping Jamie Lynn is going to be hugely talkative on the show and give up lots of goss about Britney. Hopefully she finds her voice in camp."

Since it was announced that Jamie Lynn would be appearing on the show, Britney's fans have plotted to vote for her to take part in every Bushtucker Trial. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person wrote: "Are we all in agreement - every trial needs to be Jamie, let's make her life hell!!" Another agreed: "Me voting for Jamie Lynn for every trial."
