Jamie Lynn Spears' unlucky streak: Star has left three shows early as she quits I'm A Celebrity after Dancing With The Stars and Special Forces
Jamie Lynn Spears has dramatically quit I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds after struggling to adjust to life in camp.
The sister of pop icon Britney, 32, had a very emotional time in camp and has frequently been filmed in floods of tears over the difficult conditions and missing her family back home.
But I'm A Celebrity is not the first reality show Jamie Lynn has left early. Mere months ago, the star had an early exit from Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.
Jamie Lynn voluntarily withdrew from the military training series after only three episodes, saying she missed her children Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.
The Zoey 101 actress told fellow contestant Mel B she didn't think she could take part any longer, saying: 'I miss my children if I’m away from them for like a couple of hours, I miss them. So this is a very big leap for me.'

Mel offered to help Jamie Lynn out if she stayed but the star's mind was made up and she left.
Elaborating on her decision, she said at the time: 'It probably goes back to a lot of things. Not only do I just love them and want to be with them, but also being away from them like this, even just for myself, it makes me feel like a crap mom, you know? They didn’t ask for their mom to be gone.'
In October, Jamie Lynn became a contestant on Dancing With The Stars and, according to Variety, earned $125,000, which is the standard pay for a celebrity who completes rehearsals and two weeks of competition.
Jamie Lynn and her partner Alan Bersten, were booted during week two after scoring 16 out of 30 for their cha-cha routine.
Bosses were said to be furious at her early exit – because they had allegedly been planning for an 'incredible' on-screen reunion between the actress and Britney.
Viewers will see Jamie Lynn's exit from I'm A Celebrity in Wednesday night's episode, and the campmates are aware of her departure.
A show 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.'

It comes just two days after food critic Grace Dent decided to leave the show, while Nella Rose was briefly taken the camp to receive treatment from medics on Tuesday, sparking fears she would also quit altogether.
The exit will spark questions for show bosses about their rigorous background checks before the show kicked off, and whether stars were fit enough to handle the gruelling show.
The actress openly admitted she missed her two daughters but in recent days appeared to have settled into camp life.
Jamie Lynn is expected to receive her full fee for taking part in the show, as any star who stays in the camp for longer than 72 hours is expected to be paid in full.
Following the news of Jamie Lynn's departure, viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their disappointment.
One posted: 'So proud of Jamie because she's com so far in such a short amount of time sometimes it just gets too much for someone especially Jamie who is from the States she should be proud of herself.'
