Jamie Lynn Spears’ secret VIP deal with Dancing With The Stars and I’m A Celeb ‘has co-stars in uproar’
JAMIE Lynn Spears has infuriated her Dancing With The Stars co-stars – after bosses cut a deal so she could join I’m A Celebrity.
She raised eyebrows on Tuesday after appearing on the finale of the American dancing show, just six days after she walked out of camp.
Insiders confirmed that while celebrities normally had to appear on the last episode to earn their full fee, Jamie Lynn got special treatment.
The top secret deal meant Jamie Lynn was able to claim both full fees from the shows.
A source said: “Jamie Lynn has played a blinder and is laughing all the way to the bank.
“She signed up to I’m A Celebrity after going out in the second week of DWTS.

“While other celebs have to appear in the final of the show to get their fee, Jamie Lynn was told she could go to Australia and not have to worry.
“It has been the talk of DWTS and it was a controversial move because it is so out of the ordinary.
“Some of Jamie Lynn’s co-stars have admitted they thought it was unfair that she seemed to get special treatment.”
Stunned jungle fans were shocked when actress Jamie Lynn popped up on the finale on Tuesday.
She appeared on screen with her pro partner Alan Berstenand said later: “Still not 100 percent but I had to show up for my guy.”
ITV said Jamie Lynn left I’m A Celebrity on “medical grounds” on November 29.
She struggled in camp and said she missed her daughters, Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.
Her campmate Fred Sirieix told The Sun Jamie Lynn was “non-existent” in camp at the start of the show, adding: “She was sleeping for 18 hours a day.”
