Jamie Lynn Spears made a swift exit from the UK reality series "I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here" after the episode aired on November 28.
The official X account (formerly Twitter) confirmed her departure on November 19 without delving into the specifics of the medical reason behind her exit.
The 32-year-old Spears was part of the 10 celebrity contestants facing the challenges of survival in the Australian outback. In the episode that aired on November 28, she candidly expressed her strong desire to leave the show.
Following her consumption of chocolate during the episode, she tearfully remarked, "I am so miserable. It’s like that little square of chocolate upset me."
Subsequently, the "Sweet Magnolias" star headed to a phone booth, attempting to reach her family.Feeling exasperated by the lack of connection, she exclaimed, "I despise it here, I loathe it, I detest it! This place is where people come to experience their worst moments. Oh God, I pray for strength to endure. I believe I must depart, yes, I must depart."
This year, Spears has made three appearances in reality shows, including two episodes of "Dancing With the Stars" and three appearances on "Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test."
The latter was filmed in Jordan, and the rigorous military training also proved too demanding for Spears. In her third episode, which aired on January 11, she confided in fellow contestant Mel B that she couldn't endure another day of filming.
"Being apart from my children for even a few hours causes me to miss them deeply," Spears shared. "Therefore, this is a significant step for me."
When questioned about her choice to leave, Spears clarified, “There are several factors that contributed. It was not only my love for them and desire to be by their side, but also the fact that being apart from them like this makes me feel like an inadequate mother. After all, they didn’t ask for their mom to be absent.”
Casey Aldridge is the father of Spears' eldest daughter, Maddie, who is 15 years old. Meanwhile, her daughter Ivey, who is 5, is from her marriage to Jamie Watson in 2014.
Nine years separate Jamie Lynn from her sister, the iconic Britney Spears. During a previous episode of "I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here," Jamie Lynn revealed that her sister, who is now 41 years old, had expressed concerns about her joining the show. The filming of the show began earlier this month.
"I can imagine she's worried about me being out here," Jamie Lynn mentioned. "She's probably keeping a close eye on me. She did ask me before I came here, 'Are you really going to do it?' I replied, 'I'm not sure, I just want to check things out in Australia.'"
