Jamie Lynn Spears has broken her silence on her sister Britney Spears’ snog with Madonna at the 2003 Video Music Awards.
Speaking on tonight’s episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the Zoey 101 actress confessed that Britney was all her pals wanted to talk about in school. Chatting to First Dates star Fred Sirieix in camp, Jamie Lynn was asked: “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. 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.”
Jamie Lynn went on: “My mum was like, ‘It’s artistic, she’s expressing herself.’” Fred then quizzed her: “Who became famous first?” as Jamie Lynn responded: “My sister, she’s 10 years older. She was famous since I was about 6 or 7.”
The Gordon, Gino and Fred star wanted to probe deeper as he questioned her: “Is it true you don’t get on with her now?” – but Jamie Lynn would only say: “I love my sister.”
Back at the MTV VMAs in 2003, Madonna locked lips with Britney as the camera panned to her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, looking a bit… bothered. It then turned into a three-way kiss with Christina Aguilera, with former MTV president Van Toffler explaining: “You wanted to make it fun and semi-chaotic. That’s what we did.”
It comes after fans spotted a clue Britney is watching her sister using a VPN over in the US. Sharing a post with her 43million Instagram followers, Britney posted the symbol of pi and a long list of its associated digits, written in chalk on a blackboard. She didn’t include a caption, and turned comments off – but X (formerly Twitter) users had some thoughts about the post.

Some argued that Britney was referencing her sister’s attempt to do maths during a Dingo Dollar Challenge. Stars were asked to calculate all of their ages combined to win treats for camp.
Taking to the platform, one user penned: “As soon as I saw it I couldn’t help but think of Jamie Lynn trying to work out 62 + 32 on @imacelebrity haha Britney sure knows how to shade!” while someone else said: “Apparently Britney Spears now has a VPN so she can watch her sister!”
