I'm A Celebrity star Jamie Lynn Spears said she wants to move to the UK after her time on the ITV show. The actress made an early exit from the jungle but it seems her British campmates made a lasting impression in their short time together.

Early in the series Spears threatened to quit after becoming emotional because she was missing her two daughters. She eventually stayed for 11 days, leaving on medical grounds.


On Thursday night (December 13) one-hour special I'm A Celebrity...Coming Out will give viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what happened when the celebs left the jungle and returned to 'VIP paradise'. The show will see the stars reflecting on their jungle experience - and enjoying their most-missed meals after days on meagre rations.
