ITV Im A Celeb bosses fear miserable Jamie Lynn Spears will quit after isolating
I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here bosses are reportedly worried that Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears' sister, might quit the show.
The 32 year old singer and actress is said to be struggling with life in the Australian jungle and has been "miserable" in camp. She's even isolated herself from the rest of the campmates, raising concerns among the producers.
Jamie Lynn has reportedly caused a bit of a stir for the bosses of the show by refusing to participate in media chats before entering the jungle.
On Sunday, 19 November Jamie Lynn entered the jungle with Marvin Humes and Nick Pickard via a sky dive, and the first bushtucker trial of the series.
However, she has sparked concerns for bosses as she has been "isolating" herself from her fellow campmates. A source has told The Sun: "“She has kept herself somewhat separate, not really socialising — and stayed in bed."
However, during the first episode of the series last night Jamie Lynn appeared to be settling into life in the jungle as she said that her fellow campmates had been "really nice and really kind" and made a "wonderful impression" on her.
ITV had no comment on the claims.
Meanwhile, a telly insider told The Mirror that she didn't take part in media interviews when she landed down under, as they explained: "It is disappointing Jamie Lynn wouldn't speak to journalists out in Australia. She kept her head down at Brisbane airport which is fair enough after a long flight, but it is highly unusual to not take part in the media chats whilst waiting to go into camp this week.
"In fact, it is almost unprecedented and even Boy George took part last year when he has rarely done interviews for a decade. The last contestant we can remember to refuse to do the pre show interviews was David Gest, and that was back in 2006.
"It is not a great sign if you are hoping Jamie Lynn is going to be hugely talkative on the show and give up lots of goss about Britney. Hopefully she finds her voice in camp."
Since it was announced that Jamie Lynn would be appearing on the show, Britney's fans have plotted to vote for her to take part in every Bushtucker Trial. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person wrote: "Are we all in agreement – every trial needs to be Jamie, let's make her life hell!!"
Another agreed: "Me voting for Jamie Lynn for every trial."
Elsewhere, fans have also threatened to boycott the show after it was reported that Jamie Lynn's campmate Nigel Farage was paid £1.5million to take part.
ITV responded to the backlash, saying in a statement: "I'm A Celebrity has always featured a diverse cast from all areas of public life and has a history of featuring political figures throughout its 20 years on screen. As with any camp mate, viewers are invited to form their own opinions when the show begins on Sunday."
