Jamie Lynn Spears had to wait 'hours' to leave the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle because of the severe weather, according to campmate Nick Pickard.
The 32 year old, who is the younger sister of pop star Britney Spears, quit the hit ITV show on medical grounds at the end of November after 10 days in camp.
ITV bosses confirmed her exit from the show – saying she had been ‘a fantastic campmate’ who had ‘triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities’.
However, after being the fourth campmate to be evicted from I'm A Celebrity on Wednesday night, Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard has spilled some unaired secrets from the jungle. One included the evening Jamie Lynn left the show.
Nick said that her exit did not go smoothly as she was left ‘waiting for hours’ after confirming she wanted to leave because, at the time, the camp was almost evacuated because of storms.
He said: “We had 12 days of rain and once for 48 hours it did not stop. That was the night Jamie Lynn went and we had to all huddle, because the only place that's protected in there from the lightning is the Bush Telegraph because it's the only place that is reinforced with steel.
“So we're all in there. And we were in there for ages. And that's when Jamie Lynn had the old like 'oh my god' moment.
"I think she told him just before that she was going on her medical grounds and we're all huddled in. That was the worst night by far because it was 48 hours non-stop.
"We couldn't wait to get out of there. But then we had to go back out. It was still raining and the thing is with the canopy when it's even there, the rain still comes in from the side when it's tropical like that."
Nick also shared how former boxer Tony Bellew was even more terrified of the jungle's creepy crawlies than was shown on TV. On his second day in camp, the sportsman used his mic to tell show producers that there was a spider bothering him, Nick revealed.
The actor told how security came into camp to deal with the huntsman spider but could not catch it so just batted it into the bushes – which did not leave Tony feeling very reassured.
Nick went on to reveal that he had his own issues with creepy crawlies while in the jungle – suffering a rash on his body following his final trial Critical Mixer. He also had some giant bruises from the trial, he added.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Jamie Lynn attended the Dancing With The Stars finale – getting glammed up in a gold tassel mini dress and high heels. But her appearance at the finale prompted I'm A Celeb fans to become sceptical of her decision to exit the jungle.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: "Hang on a minute. Jamie-Lynn left the jungle due to medical grounds & is now back on Dancing With The Stars in USA? So she just so happens to fall ill & leave in time for the DWTS finale? Do me a favour!”
Danielle Harold became the fifth contestant to be voted out of the Australian jungle on Thursday night.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Friday at 9pm.
