JAMIE Lynn Spears has revealed for the first time her thinking behind spilling Britney’s secrets on I’m A Celebrity.
Viewers were left scratching their heads after Jamie kept schtum on her famous family for days in the ITV jungle.
But then after a number of nights she suddenly began to open up and shared tales of their childhood and even about Britney’s Vegas residency.
Now Jamie Lynn discusses why she decided to expose their secrets as she opens up on ITV’s spin-off show, I'm A Celebrity...Coming Out.
An insider said: “It’s a real insight into Jamie’s thinking around talking about Britney.

“Jamie Lynn felt like she didn’t want to be the only one not sharing.
“It’s a heartbreaking moment that peeks behind the veil of living with fame.”
Elsewhere Jamie teases plans to move to the UK after making “lifelong friends” in the I’m A Celebrity camp.
The actress crashed out of camp early over medical reasons but has said she hopes the cast including EastEnders star Danielle Harold and winner Sam Thompson “adopt her”.
The Zoey 101 star tells the ITV show: “The first few days in camp were tough for me, but these wonderful humans just scooped me up and brought out a side of me that I just didn’t think that I had.
"I think I wanna move to the UK, I'd like them to adopt me.
“I’ve literally made life-long friends.”
It was the first time Jamie Lynn has spoken publicly about her departure from camp.
Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard this week revealed the US star left during the middle of a lightning storm.
It came after The Sun revealed that Jamie has been in exit talks with execs for days, with a number of high-level discussions involving ITV’s logistic teams and her own management behind the scenes.
ITV bosses were able to support Jamie Lynn through 11 days on the show, as success in the Climb of Cruelty and Scarena Series buoyed her and delayed the inevitable.
But ultimately she blasted: “I hate it here so much, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it here.
This place is where people go to have the worst days of their lives.”
Confirming her departure on November 29, a show spokesperson said: “Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds.
