Jamie Lynn Spears has revealed the REAL reason she shared her sister Britney Spears secrets with her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! campmates.
The 32-year-old opened up to her co-stars numerous times on the show, about her turbulent relationship with her sister.
The Zoey 101 star then sensationally quit the show, after spending 10 days in camp.
Jamie Lynn is now set to appear on the reunion show, where she has spoken for the first time, about sharing childhood memories and Britney’s heartbreak at losing out on a Grammy with her campmates.
An insider told The Sun: “It’s a real insight into Jamie’s thinking around talking about Britney.”
“She says that everyone in camp were talking about their families, so thought ‘why should I not talk about mine?'”
“Jamie Lynn felt like she didn’t want to be the only one not sharing.”
“It’s a heartbreaking moment that peeks behind the veil of living with fame.”
Jamie Lynn said on the ITV reunion show: “The first few days in camp were tough for me, but these wonderful humans just scooped me up and brought out a side of me that I just didn’t think that I had.”
“I think I wanna move to the UK, I’d like them to adopt me.”
“I’ve literally made life-long friends.”
The actress previously opened up about her “complicated upbringing” she shared with her sister, which ultimately impacted their relationship.
The mother-of-two said: “Me and her both have had a very complicated upbringing. We’ve had very complicated circumstances and we both had to deal with them in different ways.”
The Zoey 101 star continued: “Sometimes we took it out on each other when perhaps we shouldn’t have. I’ve never, ever… I’ve been the one person in her life – and she can say this – I’ve never taken anything from her, you know?”
“I’ve been the one person in her life who’s always said, ‘I just want to be your sister’.”
“We just had a really weird life so we can’t explain it to many people, but at the end of the road I know that that’s my family, I love them,” Jamie Lynn added.
Jamie Lynn also revealed whether Britney would be watching from home: “I can imagine she’d be worried about me on here. I think she’s probably checking in on me heavily.”
“I do think she’s probably like, ‘Why would she do that?’ She asked me that before I came here, she was like, ‘You’re really going to do it?’ I was like, ‘I’m going to go to Australia and check it out.’”
“My crying, she’d probably be like, ‘Ya’ll get her the f*** out of there, right now!’ She’s a good big sister, she is. Yeah, I love her.”
“Me and her throw down. The world’s seen that. I’ve learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, family’s fight. Listen, we just do it better than most.”
This was not the first time the star has lifted the lid on where she stands with the pop icon.
On an episode of the show, First Date’s star Fred Sirieix, brought up Britney’s iconic kiss with Madonna at the MTV VMA Awards in 2003.
“I’ve never asked you about your sister, but I was just thinking about, do you remember when she kissed Madonna, or Madonna kissed her. How did it come about?,” Fred asked.
Jamie Lynn replied: “They just did it. I was at home watching like, ‘Oh OK, this will be fun tomorrow at school, can’t wait.”
She then described how she admired her sister growing up: “Anything my sister did I always thought was the best. When it came to my sister, even if I felt anything, if anyone said anything I was ready to go.”
“I was like, ‘Don’t talk about my sister, she’s the best.’ And so literally I just thought – and by the way, in today’s world it would mean nothing – but it was this iconic moment that they went with and it happened and it’s what they did.”
Of her family’s reaction, Jamie Lynn added: “My mum was like, ‘It’s artistic, she’s expressing herself.’”
When asked by Fred if it’s “true you don’t get on with her now?,” the 32-year-old coyly put: “I love my sister.”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Coming Out airs at 9pm Wednesday on ITV.
