Pop star Britney Spears’ sister, 32, had a very emotional time during her ten days at the camp before her departure, which will be seen on screen on Wednesday night
Jamie Lynn was left heartbroken after she was unable to find her luxury item, which was a photo of her children.
She explained that she was ready to leave camp because she became very emotional after a mini-challenge where her campmates sheepishly returned without the photo.
Sobbing, she confessed: “I just want to see my children” as she struggled with separation from her loved ones.
Earlier in the same episode, she had confided emotional support to her co-stars Sam Thompson and Danielle Harold.
Jamie Lynn broke down in tears after admitting she felt “so emotionally weak” at camp.
Speaking to Danielle and Sam, she revealed: “I don’t know why I’m so emotionally weak.”
To lighten the mood, Danielle told her, “You’re so strong.” This is hard, baby, hard. So hard. It is not easy.’
Jamie Lynn added: “Why do I cry so much?” Josie [Gibson} has a baby at home…’

Sam comforted: ‘It’s important to remember you’ve come from a whole different continent, you don’t know anyone here, it’s hard. It’s real hard.’
Danielle added: ‘Look at the s*** you’ve been through in your life, right? This, a little bit of rain in the jungle, nothing.’
Jamie Lynn replied: ‘But at least all that s*** I could go home to my babies every night, you know? That’s it, that’s all I need in life. It feels a little bit overwhelming. They’re not even close.
‘I’ve got to just do it. I don’t know why I’m being such a baby.’
Sam added: ‘I get it man, I’ve got two cats at home – Albus and Cedric – little fluffy men. Know what I mean? So I get it. Not kids, but I get it.’
Danielle joked: ‘Let it out Sam…’
Later, Jamie Lynn went into the Bush Telegraph and positively added: ‘You have your campmates pull you up and you’re like, ‘I can do this, I can do this’.’
Elsewhere, she also bravely opened up about falling pregnant at the age of 16 as she confided in her campmates last week in the jungle.
She told how wanted to lead as ‘normal’ a life as possible away from the spotlight after giving birth to daughter Maddie – whose father is her ex Casey Aldridge – when she was a teenager in 2008.
When asked by Fred Sirieix about becoming famous at a young age, Jamie Lynn said: ‘We auditioned for a show called All That and I was on All That for three years before I did Zoey [101]. It was very successful.

“After I was done with Zoey, I had the love of my life, and I thought, I decided to keep the baby.” I was 16. The whole world thought, “You’re an ass, you’re terrible, your life is.” over …”
Fred asked, ‘Oh really?’ You felt it?’
Jamie Lynn said: “Oh yeah. Because I got pregnant early and was on a children’s show.’
Fred asked, “Your parents were good to you?”
Jamie Lynn said, “Yeah, there was a lot going on. “I just think they were sad that I was in that situation, but it’s also like, your baby is having a baby.”
She continued: “I just wanted to be normal.” I wanted my baby to be normal. Everyone told me I would be a terrible mother. So I thought I had to raise this baby alone, and that’s what I did.’
Jamie Lynn broke down in tears as she said: “When I walked away… when I first got pregnant…”
Fred comforted: “We don’t have to talk about that…”
Jamie Lynn continued, “They didn’t want me to have the baby. ‘A lot of people around me.’
Fred said, ‘But you were great.’ What you did is amazing.’
Jamie Lynn said: “When I got out of there, I told my parents I was going to emancipate them so I could make my own decisions.” I secretly told her I was going to doctor’s appointments.
“I went to meetings with a lawyer… My poor mother, we did this to her.” And then she said she didn’t want me to do that, she knew that would mean I would probably marry the father and my fortune would lose what I had accumulated over the years of work… She said, “Just go.” Baby…’
“It was the first time I was in control. My mother did it [come and visit]. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, why I wouldn’t take the easy route sometimes, but I just don’t want to.”
Elsewhere, she also bravely opened up about becoming pregnant at the age of 16, as she confided to her roommates in the jungle last week
In the Bush Telegraph, Jamie Lynn said: “I’m proud of where I’m at now.” I don’t share it in a way where I’m sad or crying about it, but it’s like, I don’t know, I’m just… me “I’m really grateful.”
After her emotional first few days in the jungle, Jamie Lynn seemed to have adjusted to life in camp and successfully completed the Bushtucker Trial last week, taking home 10 stars.
Before the test, Jamie Lynn said of the challenge: “I have my teammates behind me, that motivates me.”
Presenter Ant asked: “Why do you think you were elected by the British public?”
To which Jamie Lynn replied: “Because maybe I cry a lot… I don’t know.” Maybe Britain will give me the opportunity to give back to my fellow residents because I think I’m the one struggling more here.
“So you’ve been so supportive that I’d like to return the favor.”
During Tuesday’s show, viewers saw Jamie Lynn burst into tears again after she was offered a small piece of chocolate by her housemates.
She started crying after eating the tasty treat as she took time for herself and was later comforted by former boxer Tony Bellew.
The candy bar arrived as a reward after Marvin, Sam, and Tony’s successes at the Misery Hotel, giving the campmates their first taste of chocolate since arriving in the jungle.
After the camp experienced extremely wet weather, Sam, as team leader, decided to break open the chocolate to boost morale.
In the Bush Telegraph he said: “The heavens have opened.” I have never seen a wetter day than here and now. In my entire existence, by the way.
“It’s like a monsoon.” “I’m a team leader, I’m sitting on my throne, I want people to be happy.”
Sam gathered his camp by saying, ‘Do you know what we need? A bar of chocolate!’

The news was well received as everyone started celebrating and Fred painstakingly divided the bar into equal parts.
This meant that when the chocolate was divided into 11 pieces, everyone only had a small piece left to taste.
Sam said in the Bush Telegraph: “The camp was raging!” Everyone claps. It was like we had won the World Cup!’
As they handed out each crumb, Tony laughed, “The struggle is real!” and Josie decided to save her food for another time, saying she would have “chocolate rice.”
In the Bush Telegraph Tony said: “I let a piece of chocolate melt on my tongue in my mouth.” It was a very strange thing. The jungle has made me soft.’
But the chocolate wasn’t well received by everyone, as Jamie Lynn left the camp crying.
When she came back in, her roommates Tony and Danielle Harold checked on her.
Tony said, “Okay, buddy?” while Danielle cuddled her.
Jamie Lynn said: “This little piece of chocolate blew me away.”
Danielle said: “That’s because it gives you a taste of what’s outside…”
Jamie Lynn laughed: “I probably should have just let someone eat it.” I might feel a little better. I just had to cry.’
Nick encouraged her, “Cry a little, J.”
Jamie Lynn said in the Bush Telegraph: “I just want more chocolate.”
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Tony said: “She’s just frustrated, she misses her children.”
“She’s so far from home.” It’s good to just ask someone how they’re doing. Just look out for each other. “Everyone should have that attitude towards everyone.”
Tony checked on her near the stream and asked her, “How are you, girl?”
Jamie Lynn said: “I needed a change of scenery.” I was struggling earlier.
“I’m just tired of sitting up there. ‘I’m sorry I didn’t mean to force you to come all the way here.’
Tony hugged her and said, “Don’t be silly, I wanted to see how you were doing.”
