Tulisa Contostavlos has had a whirlwind experience following her appearance on I'm A Celebrity. The N-Dubz singer was the third campmate to leave the show in a shock exit, with many convinced she'd stay much longer in the jungle. The show was eventually won by McFly star Danny Jones, with Coleen Rooney placing second and Reverend Richard Coles in third.
However, after a turbulent time following the show, Tulisa flew back to the UK early. It had been reported that she had fallen out with her friends on her return to reality. When she wiped her social media of her time in the jungle and failed to appear on Unpacked, fans were convinced something had happened that had caused her to shun her jungle experience.
In a statement at the time, she said: "I'm just doing a little video to clear a couple things up. Just so you know, when I came out of the jungle, I felt fine first of all and then that evening my friends went to bed. I was on my Instagram trying to have a nice little scroll at some funny stuff.
"I was getting a lot of attention, a lot of bombarding in all the most positive way. But because it’s been a while for me I can get overwhelmed quite easily." She added: "And I just started to feel overwhelmed.
I thought do you know what, I really just need to take a bit of time for me and just chill. This is all feeling just a little bit much at the moment. I’m just going to archive all my stuff to do with the jungle.
Then when the time is right and I’ve had a little time to process I’m going to make my own reels of all my best bits I really like." Tulisa later flew home early from Australia and failed to appear in any of the other celebrities' homecomings, as well as the final, where she was notably absent. She later posted to confirm she wouldn't be at the final but reflected positively on her I'm A Celebrity experience.
She wrote on social media: "Looking back at some of my favourite moments from the @imacelebrity jungle. It's been a whirlwind. "Thank you to @ for the experience and sending so much love to my Jungle Fam before the final tonight.
Sorry I can't be there to celebrate with you all." A spokesperson for Tulisa later insisted she hadn't fallen out with her friend and that she had decided to go back home to the UK for "welfare reasons". "It’s nothing more than that, despite what people are saying.
ITV have offered her a full duty of care package, and she’ll be back to her best in no time," a spokesperson said. "There has been absolutely no fall out between Tulisa and her best friend Michelle. They haven’t argued once since Tulisa left the jungle.
Michelle in fact travelled back to London with Tulisa...
This story has been completely fabricated and wasn’t even sent to Tulisa’s team for a chance to comment prior to publication. The decision for Tulisa to return home to the UK was agreed to by the production for welfare reasons.".
