Departed I’m A Celebrity star Jamie Lynn Spears and her husband Jamie Watson reportedly profited from her big sister Britney’s estate – despite claims she made to the contrary on the ITV show.
Jamie Lynn, 32, left the jungle on Wednesday on medical grounds after tearing up on numerous occasions during her short-lived stint. Now it has emerged that despite telling her campmates she has never taken “anything” from Brit, legal documents reveal Watson’s firm was paid $187,000 (£147,000) for works at the Toxic singer’s Louisiana property.
Britney was famously placed under a conservatorship in 2008, which gave her father Jamie Spears control over her life and career until it was scrapped in 2021. She has accused him and his lawyers of taking a staggering $36 million of her fortune throughout the 13-year period.

Jamie Lynn, who was reportedly a trustee of her sibling’s estate saw Watson’s firm, Advanced Multimedia Partners, allegedly receive the six-figure sum for “professional services fees, repairs and maintenance” carried out between 2012 and 2020.

And according to legal documents filed at Los Angeles’ Superior Court, a further $9,000 was said to be paid for work at a warehouse in Britney’s home town of Kentwood, LA, where her dad was living at the time. According to the Sun, the allegations were made by former FB agent Sherine Ebadi, who was previously hired by Britney’s lawyers to investigate the conservatorship.
Documents from August 2020 show that Jamie Lynn was appointed a trustee of Britney’s SJB Recoverable Trust in 2018. Jamie Lynn later claimed, however, that she had “declined it nicely” and there was “no me overseeing funds or something like that”.

Speaking to campmate Sam Thompson Down Under last week, she told the Made In Chelsea star she had never taken a penny from Britney. “I’ve never, ever… I’ve been the one person in her life – and she can say this – I’ve never taken anything from her, you know?” she said.
“I’ve been the one person in her life who’s always said, ‘I just want to be your sister’. We just had a really weird life so we can’t explain it to many people, but at the end of the road I know that that’s my family, I love them.”

Confirming Jamie Lynn’s premature exit from I’m A Celeb yesterday, 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.”
Sources on the show said her exit was linked to her missing her family. One said: “She has been struggling physically and mentally for some time. If you look back even last week this is not a complete surprise by any means.” As early as the third episode of the series over a week ago, she had spoken about quitting the jungle after being denied her luxury item.
Daily Star has invited a representative for Jamie Lynn to comment.
