Jamie Lynn Spears has quit I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, ITV has confirmed.
The 32-year-old had left viewers fearing she might leave after admitting to having a 'tough' time on the show, especially as she was missing her kids, Maddie, 15, and five-year-old Ivey.
She'd been holding out hope of receiving picture of her children during a task, but the group failed to bring her photos back to camp.

“Why would y’all put them through that?" Jamie Lynn told the Bush Telegraph after the task last week.
"They feel guilty that they didn’t come back with the gifts for their friends. This is not OK. I want to go home.”
She went on: “I just feel bad that my wonderful campmates have to keep picking me back up, like that doesn’t feel fair to them, I want to be the one picking them back up.
“Why can’t I be stronger for them? I don’t want to be the one hogging all of this support. Like they deserve my support.

“So if anything, I just want to try to suck it up a little bit so I can just be a better campmate and teammate to them. I really, really want to be that for them because I love them dearly already. I truly do.”
However, the time that viewers expected has now come, although not necessarily for the reason they may have thought.
I'm a Celeb have confirmed the singer and actor has quit, saying she left on 'medical grounds'.

A spokesperson for the show 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."
Before going into the jungle, Jamie Lynn said she hoped it would be a chance for people to see the 'real' her, having become best known for being the sister of singer Britney Spears.

She said in her intro video: “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 some awesome experiences in the meantime.”
Jamie Lynn also admitted she was ‘scared of everything’ - which bodes well for us as viewers, but maybe not so much for her, adding: “Absolutely every one of these trials I am dreading. I haven’t looked at any of them and thought, ‘Oh cool, I could do that one’.”
