Jamie Lynn Spears will receive her full I’m A Celebrity allowance after quitting the show on her 11th day in the jungle.
Britney Spears’ sister, 32, is rumored to be setting aside £250,000 for her stint after dramatically leaving camp on ‘medical grounds’ on Wednesday.
According to the payment rules, a celebrity will receive the full fee if he stays in the camp for at least 72 hours.
According to reports, Jamie spent days in discussions with producers about her desire to leave the jungle.
Viewers saw the star cry countless times in the jungle as she talked about how she missed her daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five.

But bosses are said to have persuaded her to stay for 11 days, which was helped by her strong performances in the Climb of Cruelty and Scarena Series tasks.
After a shaky start, Jamie started to win over viewers with her strong performances in the Climb of Cruelty and Scarena Series tasks, with many tipping her to win the competition.
But Jamie Lynn is now out of the running for the jungle crown, but will receive full honors for her participation in the show.
The rule came to light after TOWIE star Gemma Collins quit the 2014 series three days later.
She later revealed that she did not receive her full fee and ended up donating what she did get to charity. Her rep confirmed: ‘I can confirm that the £4,800 compensation was the full and final compensation that Gemma received for her participation in last year’s I’m A Celebrity.
The star chose to donate the money entirely to Save The Children.
Last year, Olivia Attwood still received her full £125,000 compensation despite withdrawing from camp just 24 hours after arriving, thanks to a clause in the celebrities’ contracts.
The Love Island star had left the jungle for ‘medical reasons’, but a TV source revealed that due to a certain clause in her celebrity contract, she still received her full fee, which was reportedly around £100,000 – £125,000.
An insider told The Mirror at the time: ‘Olivia wanted to continue and as it was the medical team’s decision she has done nothing wrong and so should be in the queue to get paid. She certainly didn’t stop and wouldn’t have stopped, she wanted to stay.’

Grace Dent left the jungle of I’m A Celebrity on day eight, also for medical reasons.
The 50-year-old MasterChef critic was reportedly booked for a fee of around £100,000.
Insiders revealed to MailOnline that Grace’s departure from the jungle was a mutual decision between Grace and show bosses, who intervened after seeing her visible decline in the camp.
A source close to the MasterChef star revealed: ‘Grace decided to leave the jungle shortly after it was announced she would be doing the latest Bushtucker Trial.
‘Knowing that she was facing a new tough challenge was the straw that broke the camel’s back.’
They continued: ‘It was mutually agreed that she would withdraw from the competition, it was clear she was not herself, she had lost all energy, whilst normally she is witty and fun to be around.
‘ITV’s duty of care and welfare teams have stepped in, and rightly so.
‘She had been struggling since living in the camp with fewer amenities, the weather was particularly miserable this year and as a restaurant critic, not eating well proved to be harder than she ever imagined.
‘Grace is looking forward to seeing her loved ones again now and after a few days of rest and recovery everything will be fine.’
It was revealed that she had decided to leave after ‘losing all her energy’ in the camp and reaching a breaking point when faced with the prospect of doing another Bushtucker trial.
Within three hours of the announcement, Grace was spotted at Brisbane Airport as she returned to Britain.
