Britney Spears has reportedly recently mended fences with her sister, Jamie Lynn, just as Jamie gears up for her stint on "I'm A Celebrity."

Notably, the "Baby One More Time" singer has gone the extra mile to stay in the loop by setting up a VPN to watch ITV from the US.

A source close to the situation disclosed to the Mirror, "Britney has asked her team to install a system which allows her to catch up on 'I'm A Celebrity' when she can."

They went on to say, "She has a busy life so that she won't be glued to the box, but it means she can check in and catch up on what has been happening."

This reconciliation comes after Jamie Lynn sought the "Baby One More Time" singer's blessing before embarking on her reality show journey.

The sisters, who have had a tumultuous relationship, are trying to bridge the gaps.

However, the timing of Jamie Lynn's participation in "I'm A Celebrity" raises questions, especially considering Britney's recent revelations in her memoir, "The Woman In Me."

Jamie Lynn's Revenge

Several sources indicate that Britney Spears is apprehensive about the potential strain Jamie Lynn's appearance on the reality show might put on their relationship and the timing.

According to an insider who spoke to New, "She sees this as a cynical plot to take revenge by airing their dirty laundry in public. She is terrified of what Jamie Lynn might say and keeps saying this will end their relationship if she attacks her on the show."

Furthermore, Britney's concerns about potential disclosures on "I'm A Celebrity" stem from her recent financial struggles, linked to the SAG actors' strikes.

The source concludes, "[Britney] is suspicious of the timing of Jamie Lynn's debut and perceives it as a plot to air personal matters publicly."

This suspicion may stem from the former Disney star's past experiences, where she felt exploited by her sister during vulnerable moments.

This intricate family dynamic takes another turn when considering Jamie Lynn's participation in "I'm A Celebrity" as a potential financial move, per the source. Following Hurricane Ida's havoc on her Louisiana home in 2021, Jamie Lynn and her husband filed a lawsuit against their home insurance company, seeking a substantial sum for home repairs. The legal documents claim negligence or intentional failure by the insurance company, Progressive, to fairly and promptly adjust the damages.

Jamie Lynn's decision to join the reality show might be an attempt to address financial challenges arising from the aftermath of Hurricane Ida.

This adds a layer of complexity to her motivation, prompting questions about whether financial considerations primarily drive her reality show venture.
