Jamie Lynn Spears made a heartbreaking admission in tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, as she confessed her daughter Maddie was “not alive” after a horror ATV crash.
Jamie opened up to her ITV campmate Sam Thompson about her family life back in the US, but things soon turned to the tragic topic of her daughter Maddie’s 2017 accident. Maddie was driving an ATV around Jamie Lynn’s garden in Louisiana when the vehicle crashed into her pond and flipped over – with the child nearly drowning.
During tonight’s episode (November 27), Jamie Lynn teared up as she explained how a priest was called to read Maddie’s last rites, as medics failed to find a pulse. She explained: “I almost lost my oldest daughter… she drowned and we couldn’t save her. We tried really hard. She was trapped under a little side-by-side that we ride around our pond. This is in 2017. She was eight or nine or something like that.

“My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, me and my husband, we run to jump in to save her and you kind of, in that moment you think, ‘This is not real, she’s going to pop up, this isn’t real.’ I could feel her arm, and I’m jerking it, I couldn’t get her up because it’s a pretty heavy machine.

“In that moment you think, you know logically she’s been under water too long… nobody can live if they’ve been under water this long. You logically are thinking these things.”
Jamie Lynn continued: “Then you hear the sirens coming. Thank god my mother-in-law, first thing she did was call 911… she was caught in the safety netting. So when they got there, she was not alive. They took her from me and they intubated her.
“I was sitting on the rocks, I’d thrown up on myself, the adrenaline, then I heard her [my mother-in-law] call my mum and say, ‘Lynne, we’ve lost Maddie.’ Then the fire fighter came over 3 seconds later and was like, ‘We’ve got a pulse, we’ve got a pulse.’

“They airlifted her… she’s hooked up on life support, breathing machines and all that… they come in, a priest to read her her last rights, and when they did, her body physically sat up, her spirit responded to it for whatever reason… She got better and better every day and walked out of the hospital.
“This has no repercussions. So that’s when I became Catholic. For about five minutes I thought I’d lost my daughter and then I was given the miracle of having her back,” Jamie Lynn said.

She also dropped another bombshell about her sister Britney during the episode, confirming the Toxic songstress would have crawfish flown in for her while performing her residency in Las Vegas. Jamie Lynn said: “We’re from Louisiana, we love crawfish.
“My sister and all of us, we love crawfish so much, but she [Britney] only wanted the good crawfish. So the company in Louisiana would have them overnighted in a box for her, in an ice chest… Even in Vegas, she’d have crawfish, [she’d be] eating crawfish in the Elton John suite.”
