Jamie Lynn Spears wore a glittering gold dress for a blink-and-miss-it appearance on the Dancing With The Stars finale Tuesday.
She competed on the show earlier this year, teamed up with pro dancer Alan Bersten, but they were eliminated just two weeks into the season.
However the finale’s opening number included several previously eliminated contestants, so Jamie Lynn and Alan got to be part of the lineup.
Last week, the sister of Britney Spears quit I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, citing medical grounds and saying she missed her family.
After she left, some said it was convenient timing for her to travel back to America to make her appearance on the Dancing With The Stars finale.

She shared clips and snaps with the other stars to social media as she told how she ‘got the first flight back after being medically cleared’
It comes after some had speculated the sister of pop star Britney, 32, quit the Jungle in time to return to the US show
She was on Dancing With The Stars for just two weeks before she was eliminated, and shortly after headed for Australia to take part in I’m A Celeb.
In pictures posted to Insta Stories, Jamie was spotted on set with the show’s host Emma Slater and her former partner Alan.
She shared clips and snaps with the other stars to social media as she told how she ‘got the first flight back after being medically cleared’.
She also shared a video where she could be seen running into the arms of Alan. The comments on the post were restricted. In the caption, she wrote: ‘Still not 100 per cent, but I had to show up for my guy.’
Last week some threw doubt on why she had left I’m A Celeb saying they thought she might go to the DWTS final.
One person had said: ‘I will give her the benefit of the doubt but if she turns up at the DWTS finale then it will look planned.’
Another speculated: ‘Jamie Lynn Spears QUITS I’m A Celebrity on ‘medical grounds’ Hmmm, the DWTS finale is next week and won’t she be contracted to appear on that?’
It comes as Britney is ‘disappointed’ that her sister Jamie quit I’m A Celebrity but insiders claim the singer ‘isn’t surprised’ by the ‘unprofessional behavior.’

She captioned the clip: ‘Still not 100 per cent, but I had to show up for my guy’, before sharing more clips from the studio
Jamie’s shock departure was announced in a statement on Wednesday, with show bosses revealing the Zoey 101 actress left on ‘medical grounds,’ just days after telling campmates she felt ’emotionally weak.’
But insiders close to Britney, 41, have claimed Jamie Lynn had zero intention of staying on the series for longer than 72 hours – the amount of time required to bank the hefty pay check for participating.
‘Britney is disappointed, but nothing surprises her anymore when it comes to her family’s unprofessional behavior,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘Jamie Lynn knew damn well going into this that all she had to do was last 72 hours and she was going to get paid. So that is what she did.
‘She never intended on staying any longer than this. This was just a quick paycheck for her – same as the Special Forces was.’
Jamie previously bawled her eyes out on quitting Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test after only two days.
At the time, she cited her daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five, as her reason for leaving.
She also had a short-lived stint on Dancing With The Stars after becoming the second celebrity to be eliminated from the current season alongside her partner Alan, 29.
The source continued: ‘Unlike her sister, Jamie Lynn does not see anything through to the end.’
They appeared to question her reason for leaving the show, claiming she ‘does not have any ailments,’ and added: ‘Using a medical condition surely gets her off the hook without having to explain herself.’
It is not known how much she has been paid.
During one conversation with her camp mates, she said: ‘I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak… Why am I crying so much?’
In an attempt to console her, costar Danielle Harold said: ‘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.’
During Tuesday night’s episode, viewers watched as she broke down in tears again after being offered a small piece of chocolate, before she was comforted by former boxer Tony Bellew, 40.
‘I hate it here so much, I hate it here so much, I hate it here so much,’ she said.
‘I hate it, I hate it, I hate it here. This place is where people go to have the worst days of their lives.
‘Dear God, please help me to make it. I think I’ve got to leave, I think I’ve got to leave.’
Jamie Lynn had talked about Britney during her time on I’m A Celebrity, despite reports that her sister had imposed a strict ban on mentioning her on screen as the pair attempt to rebuild their relationship.
During one conversation with Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson, she had revealed that Britney had requested crawfish when she performed her Piece Of Me residency in Vegas between 2013 and 2017.
She said: ‘We’re from Louisiana, we love crawfish. My sister and all of us, we love crawfish so much, but she [Britney] only wanted the good crawfish.
‘So the company in Louisiana would have them overnighted in a box for her, in an ice chest… Even in Vegas, she’d have crawfish, [she’d be] eating crawfish in the Elton John suite.’
Louisiana is famed for its crayfish – or crawfish – and popular gatherings include ‘crawfish boils’, which center around eating the crustacean.
It comes as Britney is ‘disappointed’ that her sister Jamie quit I’m A Celebrity but insiders claim the singer ‘isn’t surprised’ by the ‘unprofessional behavior’
Jamie is seen appearing on Dancing With The Stars back in October before featuring on I’m A Celeb
Viewers saw Jamie Lynn’s exit last Wednesday night’s episode. It was then confirmed that she would not be replaced.
‘Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds,’ a statement read.
‘She’s been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.’
Her departure came one day after food critic Grace Dent, 50, quit on medical grounds.
