Jamie Lynn Spears opens up on watching her daughter almost die

Jamie Lynn Spears broke down as she recalled watching her eight-year-old daughter almost die after an ATV accident.

Spears, 32, spoke candidly about eldest daughter Maddie’s near-death experience on Monday night’s installment of I’m a Celebrity (27 November).

Maddie crashed an ATV into a pond at a family house and was trapped in the pond’s safety netting. Spears helped pull Maddie to safety but she was unresponsive until a firefighter on the scene found a pulse.

I heard [my mother-in-law] call my mum and say, ‘Lynne, we’ve lost Maddie.’ Then the firefighter came over 3 seconds later and was like, ‘We’ve got a pulse, we’ve got a pulse.’ “ she told her campmates.
