Jamie Lynn Spears Made Big Bucks From 'I'm A Celebrity!' Despite Quitting

Actress Jamie Lynn Spears, the younger sister of pop star Britney Spears, is still earning a fair chunk of change from "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" despite quitting the show.

Although the "Sweet Magnolias" actress left the show earlier this week on medical grounds, it looks like she will still earn her full appearance fee, along with being the highest-grossing contestant on social media.

Although ITV does not disclose how much each contestant makes on the show, there is a contract in place to make sure stars are compensated for their time as they compete in the camp. Sources told the Daily Mail that, according to the rules of payment outlined in their contract, contestants will receive their full fee if they stay in camp for at least 72 hours. That fee for Jamie Lynn Spears is rumored to be around £250,000 and might vary for every celebrity.

Even though the "Zoey 101" alum might have left the show, she has over two million followers on Instagram, making her the celebrity with the highest follower count to compete. According to Casino.co.uk, Jamie Lynn could be earning up to £3,911 per sponsored post for the show.

Social media sensation Nella Rose is expected to be the second highest-earning contestant with almost one million followers and is expected to make £3,512 per sponsored post. Sam Thompson could earn up to £3,033 per post, while ex-Eastenders actress Danielle Harold could earn £2,474 per post. Even though she only has an Instagram follower count of around 380,000, she has the highest engagement rate, which stands at 6.80%.

Marvin Humes is the fifth highest-earning contestant on social media with a potential earning of £2,155 per sponsored post, while ITV's This Morning host Josie Gibson places sixth, potentially earning £1,995 per post with almost half a million followers on Instagram.

A spokesperson for Casini.co.uk released a statement, saying, "The new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has kicked off to an exciting start, and this research gives us an insight into just how much the cast members can earn outside the jungle."

"As the weeks continue and the celebrities show more and more of their personality on the show, it is expected for their follower counts to increase on social media, and more opportunities and experiences will be introduced to the cast after the show has ended."

The day after she left the show, the "Zoey 102" star took to Instagram to tell her 2.2 million followers that, although she had left the show, she was not quite done talking about her experiences during the competition.

"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," she wrote in her lengthy caption.

"THANK Y'ALL for welcoming me into your living rooms night after night, and for supporting me through all the highs and lows. I am so grateful for this show, and all of the wonderful people a part of it!" she continued. "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."

Although a spokesperson for the show said that the 32-year-old actress left due to medical reasons, one source told The Mirror that she left the show because she missed her two daughters.

“She has been struggling physically and mentally for some time,” one source told the outlet. “If you look back even last week this is not a complete surprise by any means.”

The actress also quit the first season of the Fox reality series "Special Forces: The World's Toughest Test" because she did not want to spend so much time away from her children.
