Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears‘ sister, battled to keep her emotions in check as she opted to leave Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
The 31-year-old, who has daughters Maddie, 14, and Ivey, four, was one of 16 celebrities put through their paces, including Spice Girl Mel B, in a series of demanding military tasks.
Former Marine Rudy Reyes presents the Fox survival series, which stars elite ex-Special Forces agents Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham, Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, and Remi Adeleke.
On Wednesday’s episode, after competing in hazardous activities such as jumping out of a helicopter into the sea, the former Zoey 101 star had had enough and wanted to return home to her family.
Jamie Lynn sobbed as she gave back her armband, explaining how she felt like a ‘crap parent’ for leaving her two children to compete on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Challenge.
Mel B, 47, who bonded with the child star on the programme, tried to talk her out of her decision but Jamie Lynn was having none of it, telling her: ‘Like, I just can’t do it one more night. I can’t do it.’

‘You sure?’ the pop icon said, to which Jamie Lynn replied: ‘Yes.’
Speaking in a confessional, Jamie Lynn explained as she cried: ‘I miss my children when I’m away from them for a couple of hours.
‘Not only do I love them and want to be with them, but being away from them like this, even if it’s something for myself, makes me feel like a cr*p mom. They didn’t ask for their mom to be gone.’
Jamie Lynn then cried again as she spoke to Remi, who asked for her armband, with the All That star saying: ‘Thank you so much’ before she left the show.
The Talk host wasn’t the only celeb to call time on Special Forces, with Nastia Liukin deciding to step away from the competition show after some co-stars questioned if she received special treatment during a task where they had to hold their breath underwater for 20 seconds.
At first the Olympic athlete didn’t want to do the challenge, claiming she couldn’t breathe properly after smashing her facing during a gymnastic routine 10 years earlier.


But she ended up with Remi seated next to her as the jeep was submerged in water, passing the test but getting tired of her fellow stars picking on her, so she quit.
Mel B was the third celebrity to leave the show, telling Foxy that, despite passing the exam with flying colours, a previous violent relationship still causes her to doubt herself.
She said: ‘This for me is just about taking back my own power, my own control. That’s why I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t stay any longer than this. I came out of a really abusive relationship, 10 years I was in that and I’ve been out of it for seven years.

‘I dealt with it in bits and pieces, but then the reminder of the self-worthlessness and being called so many names day after day for 10 years, it comes back when I get told, for example, that you’ve done really well because when that happened.’
Jamie Lynn previously revealed that she struggled from low self-esteem as a result of growing up in the spotlight of the Toxic singer.
She explained: ‘‘Growing up, my sister became famous, worldwide famous, when I was very young… I’m so proud of her, love her to death, but I don’t know. Sometimes I feel like I don’t really have anything for myself.’
However, the Oops I Did It Again hitmaker raged against her lil sis on Instagram, saying as she was not allowed to join her friends at the spa during her time at the Las Vegas residency, and asked: ‘Are we gonna say it was hard being my sister ???? Hmmmmmmmmmmm…. really ???’
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test will return next Wednesday on Fox.
