Former I’m A Celebrity campmate Tulisa Contostavlos is thought to have left the cast’s hotel, with the news coming amid her speaking out over reports of a “row” with a friend.
Tulisa, 36, was voted out of the camp in Australia on the ITV show on Monday night. The N-Dubz member then joined other evicted campmates at the JW Marriott Hotel on the Gold Coast but is said to have since left the hotel.
She was notably absent from greeting former co-star Melvin Odoom at the hotel following his exit from camp on Tuesday, with Jane Moore and Dean McCullough inside to greet him. It was reported at the time that it’s understood there is “no bad blood” between Tulisa and her campmates.
And a source told the Sun: “Not having Tulisa at the hotel with the other stars has been odd, and people don’t know whether or not she’ll be back to film the reunion. Naturally everyone just wants her to be all right and ITV and her campmates are being supportive.”
Jane, 62, who was evicted from camp before Tulisa, wrote in a column for the paper: “Since leaving, I am spending my days hanging out with the other families and friends at the pool of our luxury hotel, along with the growing band of fellow evictees – Dean, Tulisa, before she left, and Melvin.”
Tulisa’s apparent absence from the hotel comes amid her speaking out over reports that she had a “huge row” with close pal Michelle McKenna after leaving the jungle. Michelle is said to have run Tulisa’s Instagram while she was away.
Speaking to Mail Online, a source claimed: “When she got out of the jungle and saw what had been put on there, she was upset and it prompted a huge row. You can’t help but think that seeing her friends living it up like that while she was roughing it in the jungle must have really annoyed her.”
Tulisa however has hit back at the suggestion, saying she had “no issue” with Michelle or Daniel Johnson, who came to Australia to support her. She said in a post: “Absolutely no issue with my sis’s posts. I haven’t argued with my best mate in over 10 years. We literally don’t have arguments, they don’t exist in our world. Only love. Same with my bro. That’s what makes us so strong & my soul fam so special to me. Say what u want about me, but leave my Shelly & Dan alone.

She has also address having removed posts about I’m A Celebrity from her Instagram page since her departure from camp. Tulisa said: “Hey guys, I’m just doing a little video to clear a few things up. When I first came out of the jungle, I felt fine first of all and then that evening, my friends went to bed and I was on my Instagram, just trying to have a casual 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 bit of a while for me, I can get overwhelmed quite easily and I just started to feel a little bit overwhelmed. And I was like, do you know what? I need to just take a little bit of time for me and just chill. This is all just feeling a bit much at the moment.
“I’m just going to archive all my stuff to do with the jungle and then, when the time is right and I’ve had time to process, I’m going to make my own reels of my best bits that I really like. Because remember, I haven’t been doing my Instagrams. The way it’s being posted and all the random stuff is not how I would do my Insta – I would have one or two really good reels relating to the jungle and bringing my time together there.
“But I just really wanted to clear up the reasons why that I did that and just be honest – it’s OK to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I’ve been out of the spotlight for a long time and I’m still trying to overcome those things, I’ve got my demons. It doesn’t mean I’m going to hide behind a rock for another ten years it just means I need a little bit of time to process it and get right with my thoughts. Thank you to ITV and I’m A Celeb for being really understanding. Mental health is really important and I am super grateful for the love and support that I’ve had.
“I’ve just felt overwhelmed. I’m an introvert, guys – I’ve been in the jungle with people I’d only just met for two and a half weeks straight and then I’ve come out and I’ve received loads and loads of attention and I’m like, ‘whoa – this is a lot!’ and I just need a bit of time.”
