Mark Jefferies shares update as Jamie Lynn Spears quits I’m A Celeb
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Jamie Lynn Spears has quit the show – but will she still get paid the full amount?
Her exit comes a day after the American, who is Britney Spears’ younger sister, threatened to quit the ITV reality series.
Jamie has made it clear she has been struggling emotionally in camp since day one, and her exit comes just days after Grace Dent quit on medical grounds.
Previous reports have indicated that to receive their complete fee for participating in I’m A Celebrity, stars must remain in the camp for a minimum of 72 hours.
As the Zoey 101 star stayed in the jungle for longer than the minimum period, she is likely to get paid the full show fee.

ITV has confirmed Jamie Lynn’s fellow campmates are aware she will not be returning and her final appearance will air this evening.
On Monday, a spokesperson for ITV announced Grace Dent had left in a statement, where they praised the food critic as a “great campmate”.
They said: “Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds.

“She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike.”
However, it was later alleged that the TV chef left because she was chosen to do another Bushtucker Trial.
The source said: “Knowing that she would be facing another tough challenge was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“It was mutually agreed that she would stand down from the competition, it was clear that she wasn’t being herself, she had lost all energy when usually she’s witty and fun to be around.”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
