Jamie Lynn Spears became the second celebrity contestant eliminated from season 32 of Dancing with the Stars on Latin Night, which aired on Tuesday, October 3.

The actress and Nickelodeon star, 32, graciously reacted to her exit on the show, thanking the ABC competition for allowing her to grow as a performer.

She finally took to social media hours after the show aired to share several photographs that captured some of the best moments from her two performances.
