Fans of I'm A Celebrity have expressed disappointment over one campmate being "missing" from camp recently.
Some viewers have questioned singer-songwriter Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, having not been as prominent as some of her co-stars on recent episodes of the ITV show. There have been calls for her and others to get more screen time.
In particular, fans have suggested that Tulisa seemed to be absent from much of Friday's episode, though she was briefly in some scenes. It instead more heavily featured the likes of Dean McCullough, Maura Higgins and Rev. Richard Coles, who have been put into a separate camp.
One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday: "Tulisa missing most of yesterday and all today." Another said: "Can we actually see some of Tulisa!" A third wrote on the platform: "Too much Dean not enough Tulisa."

There was also discussion about Tulisa on Reddit, with one viewer dedicating a thread to her apparent absence. They wrote on the platform on Friday night: "Where's Tulisa?? I haven't noticed her in camp at all?? Is something going on?"
The post was however met with responses from other fans who suggested that some of Tulisa's co-stars attracted more attention. One wrote: "Really was the Dean show tonight." Another speculated: "She was in the background earlier. It's all about Rev and Maura in the junkyard right now so main camp celebs lose screen time I think."
The two camps are set to come together in Saturday night's episode, when Maura and Rev. Richard take on the first eating trial of the series, Terrifying Teddy Bear's Picnic. The main camp will be in attendance for the trial.
I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly shared the news with the main camp at the end of Friday night's episode. They however weren't told who would be taking on the trial, which is to win a junk food buffet for camp.
Ant told the group: "The public have not been voting for a bushtucker trial today." Dec continued: "That's because all nine of you will be coming down to the trials area today where you will be coming face-to-face with the celebrities from the junkyard." The main camp appeared excited by the prospect.
I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
