I’m a Celeb stars clash as Jamie Lynn Spears accused of ‘crying wolf’
The public are yet to begin voting celebrities out of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, but life in the jungle has already proven to be too much for two contestants.
The first week Down Under featured heated arguments (and surprising reconciliations), new arrivals and, of course, loads of Bushtucker Trials.
On Wednesday (29 November), it was announced that Jamie Lynn Spears had quit the show on medical grounds.
An ITV spokesperson said: “Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds. She’s been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.”
The singer and actor is the second celebrity to leave the jungle behind in two days. On Monday, the experience got the better of food critic and MasterChef judge Grace Dent, as she also quit on medical grounds.
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.

What Gen Z really think about Nigel Farage (and it’s not what you think)
“The arrival of the former Ukip leader and Brexit party MEP Nigel Farage into the Australian jungle (wearing, naturally, a pair of Union Jack socks) has won him a surprising new fanbase: Gen Z,” writes Lucy Holden for The Independent.
“That’s right, the politician labelled by many as the most abhorrent ‘racist’ toad in politics is being backed by the super woke because they think he’s being ‘body shamed’ on ITV and actually like the fact he looks like a cartoon frog.”

What were Nigel and Nella arguing about?
Wednesday’s night’s episode saw Nigel reignite Tuesday’s debate about cultural appropriation with Nella.
It began when Farage said: “If a white person does a Black accent, that’s considered to be a crime, that they should be cancelled for it.”
“It depends in what context,” Nella explained. “If you’re taking the p***, then you’re taking the p***. If you’re not, then you’re not.”
