Jamie Lynn Spears breaks silence on I'm A Celeb winner Sam after finale snub
Jamie Lynn Spears has paid a sweet tribute to I'm A Celebrity 2023 winner Sam Thompson after leaving the show early due to medical grounds last month.
The 32-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday evening shortly after the Made in Chelsea star was crowned the King of the Jungle, much to the delight of her adoring fanbase. Sam, 31, beat runner-up Tony Bellew after delighting viewers of the ITV reality series with his lovable personality and inspiring determination over the past several weeks. Meanwhile, former Ukip leader Nigel Farage placed third and This Morning host Josie Gibson came in fourth.
Jamie Lynn, the younger sister of Britney Spears, exited the show after eight days for medical reasons after struggling with homesickness and missing her family. She broke her silence on I'm A Celebrity last night, however, to congratulate Sam on his epic triumph.
