Jamie Lynn Spears has broken her silence for the first time since leaving the I'm a Celebrity jungle.

Spears quit the ITV show yesterday (Wednesday, November 29) citing medical reasons.

In a statement on Instagram, the 32-year-old said: "I can't wait to share with y'all everything about this once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I don't even know where to start when trying to describe what an incredibly special time and place I had with some of the absolute best humans I have ever met and consider family now.

"Thank yall for welcoming me into your living rooms night after night, and for supporting me through all the highs and lows. I'm am so grateful for this show, and all of the wonderful people apart of it!

"I will be taking some time to recover and spend time with my family, but looking forward to sharing all about my journey on @imacelebrity with everyone! Love yallll."

A spokesperson for the ITV show confirmed to Sky News on Wednesday afternoon that Spears had left the jungle on medical grounds.

"She's been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities," the spokesperson said.

The younger sister of Britney Spears was one of the original campmates when the ITV show returned for a 23rd series earlier in November, with the Zoey 101 star struggling with the challenge within days of arriving in camp.

Jamie Lynn, 32, broke down in tears several times as she confided to her co-stars that she missed home.

I'm a Celebrity 2023

I'm a Celebrity kicked off on Sunday, November 19 and saw a host of well-known names enter the jungle including Jamie, Fred Sirieix, Nigel Farage, Josie Gibson and more.

There has been a lot of tension in camp and Fred Sirieix has been involved on several occasions.

The first time was an argument with former UKIP leader Nigel Farage over Brexit.

The second was with YouTuber Nella Rose, in which she called Fred a "weirdo".

I'm a Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITV daily from 9pm.
