Jamie Lynn Spears ridiculed for telling I'm a Celeb viewers what she's 'best known' for
Jamie Lynn Spears is a campmate on this year's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! but her introduction video where she says what she is best known for has left viewers raising their eyebrows. In the clip, the 32-year-old - who is the younger sister of a certain pop star - introduces herself by name and adds that she is "best known for being an actress and singer". While some may recognise her from her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 from back in the day (2005-2008), most of us know as Britney Spears's little sister. Meanwhile, Spears also explained her reason for going into the jungle. "There is literally every misconception you can have on a person about me so I don’t take any of it seriously," she said. “But I do think going on I’m A Celebrity will be a nice way for people to see the real me. This is an opportunity to be myself and do something really cool and have some awesome experiences in the meantime.” However, viewers quickly took to social media to roast Spears for her "best known" comment, and pointing out that Spears' fellow campmates had referred to her as "Britney's sister". So how does Spears feel about the Bushtucker Trials? "Everything I have seen I have been afraid of. Absolutely every one of these trials I am dreading. I haven’t looked at any of them and thought, ‘Oh cool, I could do that one’. This is going to be terrifying," she said. Following last night's show, viewers shared how they will be voting for Spears to do the dreaded trials - so it looks like she could be in for a bumpy ride in the jungle... Well good thing Spears has shared in her pre-jungle interview that her best quality is "the fact that it takes a lot to hurt [her] feelings". "Unless you are my children or my immediate family, nothing is going to hurt me. I can take a lot of s*** and it doesn’t get me down, so I really think it’s a good quality to have in a place where a lot of stuff is thrown at you!" she said. I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is on every night except Saturdays at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Scientists discover fluffy 'alien' planet where it rains sand
Experts have discovered a fluffy “alien” planet where it rains sand in stunning new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bizarre-looking planet is officially known as exoplanet WASP-107b and has a cloud of silicate sand that exists high within its atmosphere giving it its strange fluffy appearance. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been responsible for some astounding findings since it was launched in 2021, including a mysterious galaxy shaped like a question mark. Now, observations made by the telescope have been used by experts who have been able to determine the atmospheric composition of the exoplanet that was pictured. A team of European astronomers found that water vapour, sulfur dioxide and silicate sand clouds existed in the exoplanet’s diverse atmosphere. The exoplanet WASP-107b is one of the lowest-density planets that astronomers are aware of. To put it into context, it is the same size as Jupiter, but has just 12 per cent of Jupiter’s mass. Thanks to its low density, it has allowed scientists to take a deeper look into the planet’s atmosphere, exploring 50 times deeper than would be possible with denser planets. The discovery of sulfur dioxide was a surprise because the host star it orbits only emits a small amount of high-energy light photons. But, its low-density atmosphere allows the photons to penetrate WASP-107b’s atmosphere where the chemical reaction that creates sulfur dioxide can occur. They also discovered that it essentially rains sand on the exoplanet due to the presence of clouds high in the atmosphere made up of fine silicate particles. Experts believe the clouds of sand form in the same way as rain does on Earth as the droplets continually fall and condense back into cloud form. The lead author of the study, Leen Decin from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, explained: “JWST is revolutionizing exoplanet characterisation, providing unprecedented insights at remarkable speed.” She added: “The discovery of clouds of sand, water, and sulfur dioxide on this fluffy exoplanet… is a pivotal milestone. It reshapes our understanding of planetary formation and evolution, shedding new light on our own solar system.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
