Jamie Lynn Spears' Dancing With The Stars co-stars 'fume over I'm A Celeb deal'
Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly upset her Dancing With The Stars co-stars by making a secret deal.
The sister of pop superstar Britney Spears, 32, is said to have infuriated fellow celebrities after she was allegedly paid her full fee to appear on the American dance competition. Celebrities competing on DWTS are only paid their full fee if they reach the final, according to reports.
However, Jamie Lynn is said to have got "special treatment" despite leaving the show after just two weeks. Since her stint on Dancing With The Stars was so short, Jamie Lynn was able to join I'm A Celebrity. The star ultimately ended up walking away from the ITV show after just 10 days as it was claimed medical reasons forced her out of the jungle.

Jamie Lynn is said to have made a deal, which saw her pocket both fees from the reality shows. A source told The Sun: "While other celebs have to appear in the final of the show to get their fee, Jamie Lynn was told she could go to Australia and not have to worry.
"It has been the talk of DWTS and it was a controversial move because it is so out of the ordinary. Some of Jamie Lynn's co-stars have admitted they thought it was unfair that she seemed to get special treatment." Since her I'm A Celebrity departure, Jamie Lynn has returned to the USA.

However, she sparked anger among some I'm A Celeb fans after she reunited with the Dancing With The Stars cast for the show's final. The timing of Jamie Lynn’s appearance on Dancing With The Stars and I’m A Celebrity sparked a conspiracy theory involving the American star. Some reality show fans are convinced she quit I’m A Celeb specifically to be able to return to California to feature on the finale of Dancing With The Stars.
The current season of I’m A Celeb if still ongoing, so Jamie Lynn could theoretically still be on the show if she hadn’t quit. One fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, hypothesised: “Hang on a minute. Jamie-Lynn left the jungle due to medical grounds & is now back on Dancing With The Stars in USA? So she just so happens to fall ill & leave in time for the DWTS finale? Do me a favour!”
And another had previously mused: “Jamie Lynn Spears QUITS I'm A Celebrity on 'medical grounds' Hmmm, the DWTS finale is next week and won’t she be contracted to appear on that?“ A third posted a screengrab of Jamie posting from the DWTS set and wrote: “Are these the medical conditions that meant Jamie-Lynn had to leave early?!“
