Jamie Lynn Spears is having an emotional moment.
On this week's episode of the UK reality TV series I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, the actress, 32, received a pep talk from Danielle Harold and Sam Thompson back at their camp as she struggled with being away from daughters Ivey Joan, 5, and Maddie, 15.
"You're so strong. This is tough babe, tough. So tough. It's not easy," Harold tells Spears.
"Why am I crying so much?" Spears asks. "Josie has a baby at home..."
"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," Thompson says.

"Look at the s--- you've been through in your life, right? This, a little bit of rain in the jungle, is nothing," Harold says as she comforts Spears.
"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," Spears tells her two companions. "I've got to just do it. I don't know why I'm being such a baby."
"I get it man, I've got two cats at home — Albus and Cedric, little fluffy men. Know what I mean? So I get it. Not kids, but I get it," Thompson says.
"Let it out Sam..." Harold tells Thompson.
Later in the episode, Spears got emotional again and threatened to quit the show.
"I do not want to be here. F--- this," she said. "I just want to see my kids, that's it. I'll stay out here with these fricking critters, just let me see them."
However, she changed her mind and said she wasn't going to walk away. "I want to try and suck it up so I can be a better campmate."
Spears shares Maddie with ex Casey Aldridge and Ivey with husband Jamie Watson.
In August, the mom of two posted a few photos of her daughters on her Instagram to celebrate their first day of school.
The youngest sibling wore a plaid dress and long white socks, holding a "kindergarten" flag while Maddie crouched next to her. In another photo, Ivey posed with Spears in front of the school's gate while clutching a stuffed dog in a matching plaid dress.
"Best part about having 2 kids at 2 different schools is that you’re too busy to cry about them growing up way too fast🥹," Spears captioned the post. "Praying for a safe & happy school year ahead for all the students, teachers, coaches, and the many other staff members at every school around the world📚🙏🏻✏️."
