Jamie Lynn Spears says she and Britney ‘took complex history out on each other’

Jamie Lynn Spears has said on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! that she and Britney Spears had a “very complicated upbringing” which would lead to them having issues with each other.

The 32-year-old actress and singer has been taking part in the ITV1 reality show, set in Australia, and revealed her pop superstar sister questioned her about doing it.

Spears was asked by former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson if she is the “cool aunt” and if her sister is tuning into the series from the US.

Spears replied saying: “I can imagine she’d be worried about me on here… I think she’s (Britney) probably checking in on me heavily.

“I do think she’s probably like, ‘Why would she do that?’ She asked me that before I came here, she was like, ‘You’re really going to do it?’… I (don’t know) if I can say… ‘I’m going to go to Australia and check it out.’

“(With me) crying (during the show), she’d probably be like, ‘Y’all get (her) out of there, right now.”

Spears also said: “She’s (Britney) a good big sister, she is. Yeah, I love her… Me and her throw down. The world’s seen that.

“I’ve learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, families fight. Listen, we just do it better than most.”

Thompson replied that most families have things they “argue about all the time” and said he has a similar relationship with his sister, Louise, also a Made In Chelsea star.

Spears said: “Me and her (Britney) both have had a very complicated upbringing.

“We’ve had very complicated circumstances and we both had to deal with it in different ways.

“Sometimes we took it out on each other when perhaps we shouldn’t have.”

She also said she is “the one person in her life who’s always said, ‘I just want to be your sister’” and does not want anything from the Oops!…I Did It Again singer.

“We just had a really weird life so we can’t explain it to many people, but at the end of the road I know that’s my family, I love them,” Spears added.

Meanwhile during the episode, the celebrities who secured the highest total score during a series of tasks feasted on a treat meal.

Spears, Thompson, jockey Frankie Dettori, former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, YouTuber Nella Rose and First Dates star Fred Sirieix earned the “breakfast of champions” for succeeding in the competition.

This included scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, fruit, toast, orange juice as opposed to the usual jungle diet of beans and rice.

The contestants also merged into one camp which included This Morning host Josie Gibson, GB News host and ex politician Nigel Farage, restaurant critic Grace Dent, JLS star Marvin Humes, Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard and former boxer Tony Bellew joining the others.

Earlier in the episode, Bellew said he has to take Farage as he “finds him” as he is not familiar with former Ukip and Brexit party leader.

They also took part in a trial together and earned the camp 12 stars.

At the end, Thompson and Rose were revealed as being voted by the public for the next trial.
