In a first look clip of the challenge – which will be shown in full during Wednesday night’s show – the 32-year-old singer proved her doubters wrong as she took on the sky high obstacle course.
While 70 foot high in the air and battling the strong Jungle winds, Jamie displayed incredible composure and balance as she made her way across the blocks to retrieve stars.
Within two minutes, Jamie Lynn – who is the younger sister of Britney Spears – had already reached the third level of the challenge with Ant and Dec having to remind her to ‘take your time.’
Faced with a number of blocks to cross, the hosts speculated as to whether she would step down or jump with Ant remarking in astonishment ‘jump!’ as he watched the star race across the course.

Slow down: Within two minutes, Jamie Lynn had already reached the third level of the challenge with Ant and Dec having to remind her to ‘take your time’
She then pocketed her fourth star with ease before advancing with the course. The total amount of stars she won will be revealed in the upcoming episode.
Her success in the challenge comes after viewers were left convinced she would quit the show after learning she would be taking part in the Bushtucker Trial.
At the end of Tuesday’s episode, the show hosts entered the jungle camp to announce the results of the Bushtucker Trial public vote.
They told Jamie Lynn and former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 31, it was between them but Jamie was announced as the chosen campmate to do the trial.
Jamie Lynn has been getting repeatedly emotional as she increasingly misses her two children who are back home in America.
Earlier in the episode, she broke down in tears again before threatening to quit the show after being in the jungle just three days.
She was left heartbroken after she was failed to be reunited with her luxury item which was a photo of her children.
After a mini challenge that saw her campmates sheepishly return without the photo Jamie Lynn stormed into the bush telegraph declaring she was ready to leave the jungle.
Sobbing she said: ‘I just want to see my kids’, only for baffled viewers to ask if the American, who is mother to daughters Maddie, 15, and five-year-old Ivy, had ever even seen the show which she signed up for.

She had earlier sought comfort from Sam and Danielle Harold as she sobbed: ‘I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak.’
Keeping spirits in keep lifted, Danielle told her: ‘You’re so strong. This is tough babe, tough. So tough. It’s not easy.’
Jamie Lynn added: ‘Why am I crying so much? Josie [Gibson} has a baby at home…’
Sam comforted: ‘It’s important to remember you’ve come from a whole different continent, you don’t know anyone here, it’s hard. It’s real hard.’
Danielle added: ‘Look at the s*** you’ve been through in your life, right? This, a little bit of rain in the jungle, nothing.’
Jamie Lynn replied: ‘But at least all that s*** I could go home to my babies every night, you know? That’s it, that’s all I need in life. It feels a little bit overwhelming. They’re not even close.
‘I’ve got to just do it. I don’t know why I’m being such a baby.’
Sam then lifted the mood as he quipped: ‘I get it man, I’ve got two cats at home – Albus and Cedric – little fluffy men. Know what I mean? So I get it. Not kids, but I get it.’
