Jamie Lynn Finally Addresses the Elephant in the Camp
I’m A Celebrity star Jamie Lynn Spears has finally broken her silence on her famous sister Britney. The American actress, 32, didn’t mention her superstar sibling, 41, in last night’s launch show, despite probing by This Morning’s Josie Gibson. However, she has now addressed the elephant in the camp – and revealed the pair are back on good terms.
Surprising Complimentary Words from Jamie Lynn
Britney once accused her sister of telling “crazy lies” about her in the past, so Jamie Lynn’s complimentary words came as a surprise to some.
A Closer Look at Jamie Lynn’s Upbringing
First Dates’ Fred Sirieix wanted to learn more about his co-star’s upbringing and quizzed her as she lounged in her hammock. He asked: “So where do you live?” Jamie Lynn replied: “I live in the country. We have like 180 acres.” Fred then dove straight into the question everyone wanted to ask: “Your sister is obviously a superstar, you’re a superstar, why? How come the both of you, what made it?”
A Family’s Love and Talent
Jamie Lynn explained, “I think every family fights and has their stuff but I talked to her before I came here and we love each other.” She further shared about their upbringing, saying, “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.”
The Challenges Jamie Lynn Faced
Jamie Lynn opened up about the challenges she faced as a young mother, saying, “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…'” She also revealed that she had to go into hiding because of the relentless scrutiny she faced.
Strained Relationship and Controversial Conservatorship
Jamie Lynn and older sister Britney have had a strained relationship in recent years. In 2018, Jamie Lynn became a partial trustee of Britney’s estate, meaning she had a degree of control over the singer’s assets. She also publicly commented on her sister’s controversial conservatorship, appearing to criticize the #FreeBritney movement, which campaigned to allow Britney to make her own financial decisions.
Britney and her little sister are back on good terms.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues Tuesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
