After a mini challenge that saw her campmates sheepishly return without the photo Jamie Lynn stormed into the bush telegraph declaring she was ready to leave the jungle.

And: ‘Has Jamie Lynn ever seen the show? Does she do anything but cry? Jesus Christ shut up’.

Another said: ‘Jamie Lynn what she all about, get a grip drama queen’.

And in reference to her estranged relationship with Britney one viewer typed: ‘Oh put a sock in it Jamie Lynn, you’re not the only one missing your family. Thought you didn’t speak to half of the anyway’.

Jamie Lynn  fell to tears after admitting she feels she is ‘so emotionally weak’ in camp.

Speaking to Danielle and Sam, she disclosed: ‘I don’t know how I’m so emotionally weak.’

Keeping spirits in keep lifted, Danielle told her: ‘You’re so strong. This is tough babe, tough. So tough. It’s not easy.’

Jamie Lynn added: ‘Why am I crying so much? Josie [Gibson} has a baby at home…’

Family: She and husband Jamie Watson are parents to five-year-old Ivey while she also has daughter Maddie, 15, from a previous relationship

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.’

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’.’
