Jamie Lynn Spears was grilled about her relationship with Britney Spears’s sons on the latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The campmates are becoming increasingly comfortable asking Jamie, 32, all about her life as the sibling of the iconic pop star.
On Friday’s episode of I’m A Celeb, Fred Sirieix asked all about Britney’s kiss with Madonna, and now it was Sam Thompson’s turn to be the interviewer.
Sam, 31, wanted to know if Jamie got along with 41-year-old Britney’s sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17.
While hanging out camp, Sam asked Jamie Lynn: ‘Do Britney’s kids really like you? Are you like the cool aunt? Do you think she’s watching you on this?’
She told Sam that she loved her nephews before adding they are ‘so cute’ and then instead pondered over whether Britney was tuning into ITV to watch the reality series.

‘I can imagine she’d be worried about me on here. I think she’s probably checking in on me heavily,’ she answered.

Jamie also revealed that Britney didn’t understand why she’d signed up to live in a jungle with British celebrities, and it’s a fair question.

‘I do think she’s probably like, “Why would she do that?”
‘She asked me that before I came here, she was like, “You’re really going to do it?” I was like, “I’m going to go to Australia and check it out”.’
In recent episodes, Jamie has been shown getting upset over missing her family especially her daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.
‘My crying, she’d probably be like, “Ya’ll get her the f*** out of there, right now!” She’s a good big sister, she is. Yeah, I love her.’
Despite their public disagreements, she insisted there was plenty of love between them.
‘Me and her throw down. The world’s seen that. I’ve learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, family’s fight. Listen, we just do it better than most.’

The Zoey 101 actress has become somewhat estranged from Britney, who regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune when a conservatorship governed by her immediate family was terminated in 2021, in recent years amid allegations she was involved in the arrangement.
Britney wrote about her strained relationship with Jamie Lynn in her memoir, The Woman In Me, sharing: ‘My sister and I should have found comfort in each other, but unfortunately that hasn’t been the case.
‘As I was fighting the conservatorship and receiving a lot of press attention, she was writing a book capitalising on it.’
Jamie released the memoir Things I Should Have Said: Family, Fame, and Figuring it Out in 2022.
‘She rushed out salacious stories about me, many of them hurtful and outrageous. I was really let down.’

But Britney also said she ‘loved’ her sister and wished her ‘the absolute best’.
Jamie continued: ‘Me and her both have had a very complicated upbringing. We’ve had very complicated circumstances and we both had to deal with them in different ways. Sometimes we took it out on each other when perhaps we shouldn’t have.
‘I’ve never, ever… I’ve been the one person in her life – and she can say this – I’ve never taken anything from her, you know? I’ve been the one person in her life who’s always said, “I just want to be your sister”.
‘We just had a really weird life so we can’t explain it to many people, but at the end of the road I know that that’s my family, I love them.’
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
