I’m A Celeb’s Jamie Lynn Spears reveals devastating moment sister Britney missed out on major award to rival
IT’S been a few days in the jungle and Jamie Lynn Spears is finally starting to open up about her famous family.
The actress was known for her role on the kids show Zoey 101, but she is of course the sister of global superstar Britney Spears.
In tonight’s edition of I’m A Celebrity, Jamie Lynn, 32 revealed a previously unknown devastating moment for her big sister.
She admitted there was a time the Gimme More recording artist missed out on major award to a huge rival.
In the year 2000, Britney lost out to Christina Aguilera at the Grammy Awards when they were both nominated in the best new artist category.
Jamie Lynn couldn’t help but retell the story of her siblings major loss after Sam Thompson revealed how he felt after he lost out to a podcasting award with his Pete Wicks.
After the campmates asked about his audio show, Sam admitted: “It’s doing really well, we were up for an award this year. Didn’t win [though].”
Jamie Lynn then interjected as she asked her campmates: “Do you want to know something really embarrassing that happened?
“It involves my sister. She was up for her first Grammy. It was her and Christina.
“Britney was clearly the bigger star of that year, she worked her a** off.
“They had MTV camera crews at home watching our family, because it was like a no brainer, she’s winning. And she’s there and she lost.”
But die-hard Britney fans think that the star had an ulterior motive for retelling the story on the ITV show.
One fan exclaimed: “Jamie Lynn talking about the Christina Grammy moment Is going to send the Britney Twitter stans into a meltdown.”
A second noted: “Jamie-Lynn used to taunt Britney about Christina being cooler and more talented, and wanting to be more like her. This is a subtle side-swipe at her sister. Don’t fall for it.”
“Not Jamie Lynn shading her sister with this Christina fangirling,” remarked a third.
And a fourth user added: “Just walked in and jamie lynn talking about Britney and Christina.”
