Jamie Lynn Spears was unexpectedly eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars."
This news shocked the producers of the competition show, who had been hoping for her longer stay so they could make a special on-air moment between her pop star sister Britney and Jamie Lynn.
Reports indicate that the two sisters have been estranged for some time.
Much to the disappointment of the show's production team, Jamie Lynn has been eliminated from the competition in its early stages. According to an insider who spoke to the Daily Mail, they had expected the "Toxic" hitmaker to make her way to the ballroom stage and use it as an opportunity to not just cheer on her sister but also for media promotion of her recent book launch.
They went on to say that these events will occur separately, representing a missed opportunity for fantastic television.
"DWTS" reportedly even attempted to get someone else from her circle on board to make up for Britney not joining them.
The pop star has been a favorite of "Dance with the Stars," yet recently has caused worry after her split from ex-partner Sam Asghari. Her actions since then have been chaotic and unpredictable.
Continuing their story, the people spoke of the show's admiration for the "Baby One More Time" hitmaker.
With that admiration in mind, it seemed natural to look for opportunities to get her involved in the production - be it through casting her family or even getting a taped message from Britney herself. Everyone was allegedly determined to make that connection with the beloved pop star.

According to the outlet's source, the ideal situation would be to have Britney on the show and see a resolution of old conflicts between her and those close to her, such as Jamie Lynn.
The emotions tied to each contestant's tenure on the program make this outcome all the more desirable. Through this experience, it could be possible for everyone involved to find peace with one another.
Despite the outcome not meeting their expectations, the producers of "DWTS" find satisfaction in attempting to make Britney's mom part of the show. As they pondered the idea, they thought she might be featured in upcoming seasons.
Lynne Spears was present to witness her daughter Jamie Lynn perform on the ABC program during the first episode. She stood in the audience and proudly watched as Jamie Lynn displayed her dance moves alongside her professional partner Alan Bersten.
