Jamie Lynn Spears successfully completed her first Bushtucker Trial in I’m A Celebrity on Wednesday after a tricky first few days in camp.
The singer, 32, has broke down in tears several times since she landed in the jungle and felt this trial was a chance to give back to her team who have supported her.
The younger sister of pop icon Britney Spears, 41, also felt that the reason she was voted for the challenge was because she ‘cries a lot’, she told Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Jamie Lynn was left pretty shocked when she heard she wasn’t being voted in to do the challenges by the British public.
But when Nigel Farage and Nella Rose was deemed not able to take part in the next challenge on medical grounds, Jamie Lynn was first up to take on Climb Of Cruelty.

Host Ant asked: ‘Why do you think you were voted for by the British public?’
Jamie Lynn replied: ‘Because I maybe cry a lot… I don’t know. Maybe the UK’s giving me an opportunity to give back to my campmates because I do think I’ve been the one struggling a bit more here.
‘So they’ve given me so much support I’d love to return the favour.’
The task was to climb from the bottom to the top of a rig and unclip and collect stars as you go round to win a meal for camp – along with the usual added crawlies.
Jamie Lynn insisted: ‘I want to do the Trial.’
Ant joked: ‘You can say, “No thanks, y’all!”‘
As the timer started Jamie Lynn got right stuck in, surprising both Ant, Dec and watchers at home.
