American actress and singer Jamie Lynn Spears is in the Aussie jungle for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2023. She’s most famously known for starring as ‘Zoey’ in Zoey 101 and of course for being Britney Spears’ younger sister.
Taking on one of her biggest work challenges yet, Jamie Lynn is heading into the jungle alongside the likes of ex-MEP Nigel Farage, JLS’ Marvin Humes, Made In Chelesa‘s Sam Thompson and many more.
Thanks to her controversial relationship with her big sister, one of the most famous pop stars in the world, Jamie will most certainly be one of this year’s most interesting stars.
