Jamie Lynn Spears has left I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, citing health concerns.

ITV confirmed to the BBC that Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, left the survival game show for medical-related issues on Wednesday.

"She's been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities," ITV told the outlet.

Jamie Lynn's exit comes two days after fellow Series 23 contestant Grace Dent also withdrew on medical grounds.

In an episode last week, the Dancing With the Stars Season 32 contestant admitted she was already considering quitting I'm a Celeb and spoke about missing her family.

The former child actress also opened up about her difficult relationship with Britney, saying the pair had recently attempted to rekindle their relationship before she began filming the show.

"She's a good big sister, she is. Yeah, I love her... Me and her throw down. The world's seen that," Jamie Lynn said. "I've learned to stop talking about it publicly, but you know what, families fight. Listen, we just do it better than most."

Looking back at her and Britney's childhood, the Zoey 101 star added, "Me and her both have had a very complicated upbringing and very complicated circumstances. We've both had to deal with them in different ways. Sometimes we took it out on each other for crap we shouldn't have."

"I've been the one person in her life that she can say I've never taken anything from her," Jamie Lynn continued. "I've been the one person in her life that said, 'I just want to be your sister.' We just had a really weird life so we can't explain it to many people but at the end of the road, I know that that's my family. I love 'em."
