Last year, the actress made a return appearance to Nickelodeon, appearing on Double Dare with her 11-year-old daughter Maddie Briann, who she shares with ex-fiancé Casey Aldridge.
The two had fun in matching red outfits while pulling off messy challenges, like moving pies from one table to another using only their mouths.

“It’s amazing because any little special time that we can have together, especially since we do have a new baby in the house, it’s just another great memory we can make together,” Spears said of the experience with Maddie, which came shortly after she gave birth to now-14-month-old Ivey Joan, whom she shares with husband Jamie Watson.
“I loved this iconic show growing up, and I knew it would be so special for Maddie and I to do together, so I was thrilled to say yes when I was asked to play!” she added.
