Jamie Lynn says daughter was not alive for 5 mins in chilling freak accident
I’m A Celeb: Jamie Lynn Spears recalls ’embarrassing’ Britney story
Jamie Lynn Spears has revealed her daughter nearly died in a horrifying freak accident on tonight’s I’m A Celebrity.
Jamie Lynn was just 16 when she fell pregnant and 17 when she gave birth to her eldest daughter, whose father is childhood sweetheart Casey Aldridge.
The 32-year-old actress, who is best known for being the younger sister of pop sensation Britney Spears, explained that 15-year-old daughter Maddie almost drowned when she was around the age of eight.
Maddie was trapped underwater for several minutes after her quad bike flipped into a pond during the terrifying incident in 2017.
Speaking to her fellow campmates, Jamie Lynn admitted she was convinced there was no way her daughter could have survived the ordeal.
She confessed: “My biggest fear was she was going to die thinking her momma wasn’t trying to save her.”
Jamie Lynn, who also has five-year-old Ivey with businessman husband Jamie Watson, feared Maddie had lost her life.
“I almost lost my oldest daughter… she drowned and we couldn’t save her,” she explained in camp. “We tried really hard.
“She was trapped under a little side-by-side that we ride around our pond. This is in 2017. She was 8 or 9 or something like that.
“My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, me and my husband, we run to jump in to save her and you kind of in that moment you think, this is not real, she’s going to pop up, this isn’t real.
“I could feel her arm, and I’m jerking it, I couldn’t get her up because it’s a pretty heavy machine.
“In that moment you think, you know logically she’s been under water too long… nobody can live if they’ve been under water this long. You logically are thinking these things.”

Jamie Lynn then revealed how she heard the sirens coming after her mother-in-law immediately rang 911 for an ambulance.
She went on: “She was caught in the safety netting. So when they got there, she was not alive. They took her from me and they incubated her.
“I was sitting on the rocks, I’d thrown up on myself, the adrenalin, then I heard her [my mother-in-law] call my mum and say, ‘Lynne, we’ve lost Maddie.’
“Then the fire fighter came over 3 seconds later and was like, ‘We’ve got a pulse, we’ve got a pulse.’
“They airlifted her… she’s hooked up on life support, breathing machines and all that… they come in, a priest to read her her last rights, and when they did, her body physically sat up, her spirit responded to it for whatever reason…
“She got better and better every day and walked out of the hospital. This has no repercussions. So that’s when I became Catholic.
“For about five minutes I thought I’d lost my daughter and then I was given the miracle of having her back.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Jamie Lynn spoke to Sam Thompson about her life at home.
When the Made In Chelsea star said he imagine the family gathering to eat crawfish, Jamie Lynn revealed big sister Britney is a big fan.
She said: “We’re from Louisiana, we love crawfish. My sister and all of us, we love crawfish so much, but she [Britney] only wanted the good crawfish.
“So the company in Louisiana would have them overnighted in a box for her, in an ice chest… Even in Vegas, she’d have crawfish, [she’d be] eating crawfish in the Elton John suite.”
