She disembarked her flight from San Francisco and refused to interact with the media, MailOnline reports. But Jamie Lynn did give a selection of quotes to ITV bosses, admitting she wants a “nice chance to show who I really am”.
She revealed: “There is literally every misconception you can have on a person about me, so I don’t take any of it seriously. But I do think going on I’m A Celebrity will be a nice way for people to see the real me.

“This is an opportunity to be myself and do something really cool and have awesome experiences in the meantime.”
She explained family was a big aspect of deciding whether or not to do the ITV show, revealing: “When they approached me, the first thing I had to do was talk it over with my family and my kids to make sure they were ok about me being gone for this amount of time. Once I got the all-clear from everybody, I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s go’.
“My oldest daughter is like, ‘OMG I can’t wait to see you do these trials and laugh at you’,” she chuckles. “But she also said: ‘I’m really proud of you for doing something for yourself’. This will be the longest I have ever been apart from my children and the furthest.

And when it comes to trolls, it takes a lot to hurt Jamie Lynn. She said: “I think my best quality is the fact that it takes a lot to hurt my feelings. Unless you are my children or my immediate family, nothing is going to hurt me. I can take a lot of s**t and it doesn’t get me down, so I really think it’s a good quality to have in a place where a lot of stuff is thrown at you!”
