I'm A Celeb's Jamie Lynn Spears triumphs in trial after tearful threats to quit
Jamie Lynn Spears caused a little brit of a shock as she triumphed in a sky high bush tucker trial winning ten out ten stars.
The 32-year-old American actor and sister of pop icon Britney, 41, was close to quitting before she was voted to do Climb Of Cruelty on the latest episode of the ITV reality show. But she turned things around and showed courage and guts for glory and a big meal for camp.
Arriving at the Trial clearing, Jamie Lynn said of how she was feeling: “I’ve been better. But I’ve got my teammates behind me, so that’s keeping me motivated.” Host Ant asked: “Why do you think you were voted for by the British public?”
Jamie Lynn replied: “Because I maybe cry a lot… I don’t know. Maybe the UK’s giving me an opportunity to give back to my campmates because I do think I’ve been the one struggling a bit more here. So they’ve given me so much support I’d love to return the favour.”

He explained: "Every time you unclipped a star, you clipped it to yourself but there were a few surprises along the way.”

Jamie Lynn insisted: “I want to do the Trial,” and as the contraption rose up Jamie Lynn made short work of getting the first couple of stars. Ant exclaimed: “Look at that, she’s rapid! She’s not bothered!” As she tackled a see-saw mid-way through, Dec added: “Light on her feet!” Ant said: “She’s a dancer, she’s got balance!”
Jamie Lynn spoke to herself as she went along saying as she reached the 5th level, a massive 90ft in the air and could be heard saying: “I just want to be done with this.” Reaching 100ft in the air for the final star, Jamie Lynn walked out onto a plank before jumping to catch the final 10th star.
Triumphantly returning to the ground with 10/10 stars and meals for camp Jamie Lynn said: “All I was thinking about was, ‘You’ve got hungry campmates’.” Learning she finished it with time to spare, Jamie Lynn joked: “Can we have those minutes for something else?”
Jamie Lynn admitted her campmates won’t have expected her to get all ten and added: “I think they were saying, ‘You’re going to do it’ but thinking, ‘No way, she’s been crying for five days straight, it ain’t happening’ so I’m really, really happy that I get to come back and bring them the joyous 10 stars. I might cry a lot but I can come and do this.” She went back to camp to a hero's welcome.
