Jamie Lynn Spears is “wildly excited and nervous” about taking part on I’m a Celebrity 2023, but hopes her appearance on the show will allow people to see the “real” her.
“There is literally every misconception you can have on a person about me so I don’t take any of it seriously,” she said ahead of her appearance on the show.
“But I do think going on I’m A Celebrity will be a nice way for people to see the real me. This is an opportunity to be myself and do something really cool and have some awesome experiences in the meantime.
“I think my best quality is the fact that it takes a lot to hurt my feelings. Unless you are my children or my immediate family, nothing is going to hurt me. I can take a lot of s**t and it doesn’t get me down, so I really think it’s a good quality to have in a place where a lot of stuff is thrown at you!”
The actress is determined to overcome her fears, and explained she wanted to take a step outside of her comfort zone.
She explained: “When they approached me, the first thing I had to do was talk it over with my family and my kids to make sure they were ok about me being gone for this amount of time. Once I got the all-clear from everybody, I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s go’.
“I think it is so far out of my comfort zone, and this year with SAG being on strike, I have said ‘yes’ to a lot of unscripted projects. I am really enjoying throwing myself into these experiences.”
The SAG-AFTRA strikers recently reached a tentative agreement, after 118 days on the picket lines.
Spears has insisted she wants to enjoy every moment in the camp, even if she isn’t there for very long.
She added: “I hope I will learn something new about myself. I would think I was such a bad a*s if I won this. But I am really going in there to enjoy this whole experience – even if it is for one second.”
