Jamie Lynn Spears revealed her teenage pregnancy ‘nearly cost her family’ in warts-and-all memoir – as star struggles with life in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

• Meet the 2023 I ‘m A Celeb campmates

Jamie Lynn Spears’ 2021 memoir has resurfaced since she has made her debut on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

And already the singer, 32, has broke down in tears several times since the show kicked off Sunday.

Jamie Lynn has recalled parts of her life and what it was like for her when she fell pregnant at the age of 16 during her stint on Zoe 101, to the group in camp.

But in her autobiography Things I Should Have Said she wrote two-years-ago, Jamie Lynn has previously spoke about the troubling times she had – which nearly cost her family.

She recalled: ‘Everyone wanted to make this “issue” [baby] disappear. They took me out of school. They took my smart phone away. Daddy and I stopped speaking. The tension was horrible.’

Delving into her past: Jamie Lynn Spears’, 32, 2021 memoir has resurfaced since she has made her debut on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!

Emotional: And already the singer has broke down in tears several times since the show kicked off Sunday

The younger sister of pop icon Britney Spears, 41, wanted to lead as ‘normal’ a life as possible away from the spotlight after giving birth to daughter Maddie – whose father is her ex Casey Aldridge – when she was a teenager in 2008.

Jamie Lynn also has Ivey, five, with husband Jamie Watson, and both daughters just appeared in the reboot film ‘Zoey 102’.

The actress starred in the hit teen drama from 2005 to 2008, and it’s been given a new lease of life with a film version called ‘Zoey 102’ that features guest appearances from the youngsters. 

Jamie Lynn recalled that her family wanted her to have an abortion when she revealed to them she was pregnant – but it just gave her a drive to go solo instead.

During Monday’s episode on I’m A Celebrity, Jamie Lynn and Fred Sirieix delved into the singers’ past.

When asked by Fred about becoming famous at a young age, Jamie Lynn said: ‘We auditioned for a show called All That and I was on All That for three years before I did Zoey [101]. It was very successful. 

‘After I finished Zoey, I had the love of my life, what I thought, I decided to keep the baby. I was 16. The whole world was like, ‘You’re a s**t, you’re horrible your life is over…’

Fred asked: ‘Oh really? You felt it?’

Happier now: Jamie Lynn gave birth to daughter Maddie at 16 with her Casey Aldridge and now also has Ivey, five, with husband Jamie Watson

Jamie Lynn said: ‘Oh yeah. Because I got pregnant young and I was on a kids’ show.’

Fred asked: ‘Your parents were good with you?’

Jamie Lynn said: ‘Yeah, they had a lot going on. I just think they were sad I was in that situation but also it’s your baby having a baby. I had to go hide away for a long time because they [press] were relentless.’

Fred asked: ‘The press?’

Jamie Lynn said: ‘I moved to Mississippi and literally hid. Put a gate around me. I had 20 paparazzi on me every day. They wouldn’t leave me alone. They came and lived in Mississippi, middle of nowhere. It was horrible. I hated it so much. 

‘I just wanted to be normal. I wanted my baby to be normal. Everybody told me I was going to be a horrible mum. So I was like I’ve got to raise this baby by myself and I did.’

Jamie Lynn got tearful as she said: ‘When I went away… when I first got pregnant…’

Fred comforted: ‘We don’t have to talk about this…’

Jamie Lynn continued: ‘They didn’t want me to have the baby. A lot of people around me.’

Fred said: ‘But you’ve been amazing. What you’ve done is amazing.’

Talking: When asked by Fred Sirieix about becoming famous at a young age, Jamie Lynn said: ‘After I finished Zoey, I had the love of my life, what I thought, I decided to keep the baby. I was 16. The whole world was like, ‘You’re a s**t, you’re horrible your life is over…’

Fred comforted: ‘We don’t have to talk about this…’

Jamie Lynn said: ‘When I got out of that, I told my parents I was going to emancipate them, that way I could make my own decisions. I was secretly telling her I was going to doctor’s appointments. 

‘I was going to meetings with a lawyer… My poor mum, we put her through it. And so then she was like, she didn’t want me to do that, she knew that would mean I’d probably marry the father and lose my fortune that I’d amassed over the years of working… she said, “Just go baby…”

‘It was the first time I was in control. My mum did [come and visit]. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, why I wouldn’t take the easy route sometimes, but I just don’t want to.’

In the Bush Telegraph Jamie Lynn said: ‘I’m proud of where I’m at now. I don’t share it in a way of being sad or crying about it, but it’s like, I don’t know, I just… I’m really thankful.’

I’m A Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here! continues Wednesday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
