Jamie Lynn Spears is one of the contestants taking part in the 2023 series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! but is allegedly refusing to take part in a staple of the show.
The sister of pop star Britney, Jamie Lynn is reportedly refusing media interviews ahead of the show starting.
While it is not required by their contract to take part, it is incredibly rare for a celebrity to not do so.
A TV source told The Mirror: "It is disappointing Jamie Lynn wouldn't speak to journalists out in Australia.
"She kept her head down at Brisbane airport which is fair enough after a long flight, but it is highly unusual to not take part in the media chats whilst waiting to go into camp this week.
"In fact, it is almost unprecedented and even Boy George took part last year when he has rarely done interviews for a decade.
"The last contestant we can remember to refuse to do the pre-show interviews was David Gest, and that was back in 2006.

"It is not a great sign if you are hoping Jamie Lynn is going to be hugely talkative on the show and give up lots of goss about Britney. Hopefully, she finds her voice in camp."
When Jamie Lynn Spears was revealed to be going on the 2023 series of I'm a Celebrity there was a bit of backlash from some fans.
She and her older sister Britney have a tumultuous relationship, with the singer criticising Jamie Lynn for not helping her more while she was held for years in a strict conservatorship by their father.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
