I’m A Celeb’s Jamie Lynn Spears attended the final of Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday.
Fans have speculated that the 32-year-old quit the jungle in order to make the final of the US show.
The sister of pop star Britney quit the show last week on “medical grounds” after just 10 days in the jungle.
When Jamie Lynn left the jungle, many fans commented on the “convenient timing” of her departure.
The actress was a contestant on the US version of DWTS for two weeks before she was eliminated and flew to Australia to take part in ITV’s I’m A Celeb.
On Tuesday night, Jamie Lynn shared a snap with her former partner Alan Bersten at the final of DWTS to her 2.2m followers.
She shared the clip with the caption, “Took the first flight soon as I was Medically cleared!!!!”
This week, I’m A Celeb fans took to X to theorise why Jamie Lynn left the jungle.
One fan said: “Hang on a minute. Jamie–Lynn left the jungle due to medical grounds & is now back on Dancing With The Stars in USA? So she just so happens to fall ill & leave in time for the DWTS finale? Do me a favour!”

Fans of the Australian show have shared their thoughts on what they believe to have been a “pre-planned departure”.

Insiders close to Britney Spears have claimed Jamie Lynn never had any intention of staying in the jungle for longer than “72 hours” – the required amount of time to bank the generous pay cheque.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Britney is disappointed, but nothing surprises her anymore when it comes to her family’s unprofessional behaviour.”
“Jamie Lynn knew damn well going into this that all she had to do was last 72 hours and she was going to get paid. So that is what she did.”
During her time on I’m A Celeb, Jamie Lynn was often in need of consoling by her other campmates.
In one conversation with her fellow campers, she said: “I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak.. Why am i crying so much?”
“I’ve got to just do it. I don’t know why I’m being such a baby.”
