ITV I'm A Celebrity fans have spotted a star will QUIT - after Jamie Lynn Spears broke down in tears as she revealed people close to her wanted her to have an abortion after falling pregnant at 16. 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.
Jamie broke down in tears on Monday night's show. ITV I'm A Celebrity star Jamie Lynn said: “Oh, I always say this. My mumma, not in a cocky way at all, my mum literally believed we were the best in the world. I think we grew up, all we ever did was sing and dance, that was our whole household, that’s how we were.
"We auditioned for a show called ‘All That’ and that’s when I was on ‘All That’ for three years before I did Zoey [101]. It was very successful." She told Fred: "After I finished Zoey, I had my 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 replied: “Oh yeah. Because I got pregnant young and I was on a kids’ show.” Fred then asked how her parents reacted to the news. “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 [the press] were relentless."
“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," she added.
“When I went away… when I first got pregnant…They didn’t want me to have the baby. A lot of people around me," she added. Fred said: “But you’ve been amazing. What you’ve done is amazing.” 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.”
“Don’t think Jamie Lynn will be in for much longer,” a Twitter/X user wrote: “Jamie Lynn will stay just long enough to earn her fee then she’ll quit!” Another said she would be "gone by Sunday" and "will definitely walk". "Jamie Lynn permanently looks like she doesn’t want to be here,” another commented.
