Jamie Lynn Spears is swapping the acting studios for the dance floor as she signs up for one of the biggest - and funnest - challenges of her life!
On Tuesday, Britney Spears' younger sister was announced as the latest celebrity contestant on this season's Dancing with the Stars.
Jamie is the third celebrity to be announced on the popular dance show, joining Vanderpump Rules‘ Ariana Madix and The Bachelorette's Charity Lawson.
Jamie revealed that her daughters, Maddie, 15, and Ivey, five, were incredibly excited for her, and that she was hoping that she would drop a dress size during the competition.
On Wednesday, the full list of celebrities for this year's Dancing with the Stars will be announced on Good Morning America.
