Jamie Lynn Spears QUITS I’m A Celebrity: Britney’s sister leaves the show ‘on medical grounds’ after 10 days in the camp – and two days after Grace Dent left

Jamie Lynn Spears has quit I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! and will not be replaced in what has been the most dramatic series of the show to date, following Grace Dent’s exit and Nella Rose’s recent medical scare.

The sister of pop icon Britney, 32, has had a very emotional time in camp and has frequently been filmed in floods of tears over the difficult conditions and missing her family back home.

A show spokesperson said: ‘Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds.

‘She’s been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.’

Viewers will see Jamie Lynn’s exit from the show in Wednesday night’s episode, and the campmates are aware of her departure. It has been confirmed that she will not be replaced.

It comes just two days after food critic Grace Dent decided to leave the show, while Nella Rose was briefly taken the camp to receive treatment from medics on Tuesday, sparking fears she would also quit altogether.

The exit will spark questions for show bosses about their rigorous background checks before the show kicked off, and whether stars were fit enough to handle the gruelling show.

The actress openly admitted she missed her two children, daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five, but in recent days appeared to have settled into camp life.

Jamie Lynn is expected to receive her full fee for taking part in the show, as any star who stays in the camp for longer than 72 hours is expected to be paid in full.

Following the news of Jamie Lynn’s departure, viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their disappointment.

One posted: ‘So proud of Jamie because she’s com so far in such a short amount of time sometimes it just gets too much for someone especially Jamie who is from the States she should be proud of herself.’

‘I’m not surprised after last night’s episode, can’t say I’m not disappointed,’ another shared, while a third added: ‘Given last night’s episode I can’t say I’m shocked.’

One added: ‘Shame, I thought she was growing into it.’

During her time in the camp, Jamie Lynn discussed her fractured relationship with her sister Britney, insisting 'families fight' (pictured in 2017)

Britney 'has always been forced to play the role of mother to Jamie Lynn and still feels that sort of responsibility,' a source previously said (the pair are pictured in 2003)

Some wrote: ‘That’s a proper shame coz I liked her.’

‘Really warmed to her after the first few days, she was one of the best in there, shame but kind felt inevitable’.

‘That’s sad. Good luck to her. It’s brutal in there. I guess it’s the survival of the fittest’.

‘Jamie should be so proud of herself she’s held out for as long as she possibly could. Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. So proud of her no matter what.’

‘Feel sad for Jamie Lynn Spears as she has become the second to leave I’m A Celebrity due to medical reasons. She has had to put her mental health first which I respect.’

‘Can’t say I’m surprised but I think it’s a shame she was really good in challenges and trials’.

‘Gutted Jamie Lynn has left ImACeleb. She was my favourite’.

It comes just two days after Grace Dent decided to leave the jungle on Monday, after ‘losing all her energy’ in camp and reaching breaking point as she faced the prospect of doing another Bushtucker Trial.

Within three hours of the announcement being made Grace was spotted at Brisbane Airport as she made her return to the United Kingdom.

The 50-year-old food critic refused to talk to press at the airport and kept her head down as she rushed through the terminal.

During Tuesday’s show, viewers saw Jamie Lynn break down in tears once again after being offered a small square of chocolate by her campmates.

She began crying after eating the tasty treat, as she took herself away for time alone and was later comforted by former boxer Tony Bellew.

The chocolate bar came as a reward after Marvin, Sam and Tony’s successes at The Misery Hotel, offering the campmates their first taste of chocolate since entering the jungle.

Sam, as team leader, decided to crack open the chocolate for a morale boost after the camp experienced extremely wet weather.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph he said: ‘The heavens have opened. I’ve never seen a wetter day than right here, right now. In my entire existence by the way. It’s like a monsoon. I’m team leader, I’m on my throne, I want people to be happy.’

Sam rallied his camp by saying: ‘Do you know what we need? A bar of chocolate!’

The news went down very well as everyone began to celebrate and Fred painstakingly chopped the bar up into equal parts.

This meant that by the time the chocolate was divided into 11 parts, everyone only had a tiny morsel to taste each.

Sam said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘The camp went wild! Everyone’s clapping. It was like we’d won the World Cup!’

As they shared out every crumb Tony laughed: ‘The struggle is real!’ and Josie chose to save hers for another time, saying she would have ‘chocolate rice’.

In the Bush Telegraph Tony said: ‘I let a piece of chocolate melt on my tongue in my mouth. That was a very strange thing to do. The jungle has made me soft.’

But the chocolate did not go down well with everyone as Jamie Lynn took herself away from camp to cry.

When she walked back in, fellow campmates Tony and Danielle Harold checked up on her.

Tony said: ‘OK, mate?’ while Danielle gave her a cuddle.

Jamie Lynn said: ‘That little square of chocolate p*****d me off.’

Danielle said: ‘It’s because it gives you a taste of what’s outside…’

Jamie Lynn laughed: ‘I probably should have just let someone eat it. I feel a little better maybe. I just needed to cry.’

Nick encouraged her: ‘Have a little cry J.’
