ITV I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa dishes on ‘fake’ campmates in shock bombshell after early exit

I'm A Celeb: Tulisa is eliminated from the show

There was an unexpected twist on I'm A Celebrity 2024 when Monday night's elimination saw a surprised Tulisa Contostavlos exit the jungle.

As she departed from the camp, a candid Tulisa shared with Ant and Dec that her experience was “hard in there” and she had struggled with the reality of jungle life.

Despite this, she maintained a positive attitude, expressing excitement for indulging in some pizza after enduring weeks of rice and beans.

“You're just going to be more grateful for everything. The food you eat, the people that you love... you don't realise how good you've got it,” Tulisa confided to the presenting duo.

She acknowledged the challenges inside the camp but emphasised staying true to herself throughout the ordeal.

On Tuesday morning, Tulisa appeared on ITV's Lorraine and delved deeper into her I'm A Celebrity jungle adventure, hinting at a lack of authenticity among some of her fellow campmates.

Prompted by Lorraine about forming lasting friendships during her time on the show, Tulisa hesitated before replying: “I feel like I have with some of them.

“I think they will be friends for life. But a lot of people for the cameras were being very pally pally but the real test will be when everyone is out.

“Will they make the effort to send texts in the group chat? Will they do the four hour drives to see each other? We'll see…” she contemplated, reports the Mirror.

The conversation moved forward as Lorraine inquired who Tulisa hoped would clinch this year's title, prompting an immediate and decisive response from the N-Dubz star.

Tulisa has hailed Oti Mabuse as her ultimate favourite after forming a special bond during their jungle stint.

“Oti is just a pure soul. She's amazing and people like her are hard to come by,” the singer gushed.

The star also shared that she felt closest to Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins, and Melvin Odoom while on the adventure and expressed her wish to see them alongside Oti as the final four contenders.

Upon Tulisa's exit, Dec reflected on the difficulty of predictions this season, implying viewers might have assumed some contestants were safe, saying: “It's so hard to call it this year.

“There's people at home going I like them all, I don't know who to vote for, I'll vote for this person tonight.”
