Jamie Lynn Spears recalled her reaction to her sister Britney's kiss with Madonna during Friday's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Pop star Britney, 41, and Madonna, 65, locked lips on stage during the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.
Actress and singer Jamie Lynn, 32, was a schoolgirl at the time and watched her older sibling kiss Madonna before heading into school the next day, laughing that she dreaded the reaction from her peers at the time.
Former Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn also clarified how she felt about her sister amid rumours they had fallen out following the publication of her 2022 book Things I Should Have Said.
In camp Fred Sirieix said to Jamie Lynn: 'I’ve never asked you about your sister, but I was just thinking about, do you remember when she kissed Madonna, or Madonna kissed her. How did it come about?'

Jamie Lynn replied: 'They just did it. I was at home watching like, "Oh OK, this will be fun tomorrow at school, can’t wait."'
She added: 'Anything my sister did I always thought was the best.
'When it came to my sister, even if I felt anything, if anyone said anything I was ready to go. I was like, "Don’t talk about my sister, she’s the best."
'And so literally I just thought - and by the way, in today’s world it would mean nothing - but it was this iconic moment that they went with and it happened and it’s what they did.'
Of her family’s reaction, Jamie Lynn added: 'My mum was like, "It’s artistic, she’s expressing herself."'
Fred then asked: 'Who became famous first?'
Jamie Lynn replied: 'My sister, she’s 10 years older. She was famous since I was about six or seven.'
Retired jockey Frankie Dettori then asked: 'Is it true you don’t get on with her now?'

I'm A Celeb's Jamie Lynn has spent much of her time in the jungle in tears and even threatened to quit after just three days due to missing her children.
And now a former campmate has revealed how bosses ITV likely 'hatched a plan' in order to keep pop star Britney Spears' sister on the show - only for it to go disastrously wrong.
According to Jake Quickenden, who finished second on the show back in 2014, producers brought forward the opportunity for the celebs to win their luxury items in a bid to 'keep Jamie Lynn happy' as hers was a photo of her kids who she missed so terribly.
However the plan quickly went pear shaped when her fellow campmates failed to nap the item during a challenge, leaving the American actress in further floods of tears and threatening to quit.
Jake told The Mirror: 'The last thing you want is someone leaving on day three, but it did seem early for the luxury items.
'What's next? A letter from home after day four? You want to keep things till a bit later because it gives you that boost.
Adding: 'After a week might have been a bit better because then you get the boost. You get your luxury item and you're like buzzing that you've got just this little bit of luxury. So it did seem a little bit early.'
Maddie, 15, and five-year-old Ivy, leave viewers baffled and ask if she had ever even seen the show which she signed up for.
