Tulisa's friend has thrown her support behind two I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! fans after a reported falling out with the N-Dubz star.
Michelle McKenna, who is reported to have had a huge bust up with Tulisa after she was voted out of the jungle, has pledged allegiance to none other than Danny Jones and Coleen Rooney as she backs the pair to win the 2024 series. Taking to her Instagram stories, Tulisa's pal made it clear who she wants to see make it all the way.
Her childhood friend Tulisa, 36, was the third celebrity to leave the camp - but she wiped her Instagram clean of any evidence of her time on the ITV show and ditched a scheduled appearance on the follow-up programme, Unpacked after her exit. Tulisa also failed to greet fellow campmate, Melvin Odoom, when he got the boot.

"I can get overwhelmed quite easily and started to feel overwhelmed. I realised I needed to take time for myself, and to chill, it's all a little bit much at the moment," she said.
The star then explained why she had deleted her social posts and said her page - which was run by pals while she was in camp - is not how she would have done things. "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," she said.
"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."

It has been reported that Tulisa and Michelle, who have known each other since they were teenagers, were screaming at one another after Tulisa made clear she was unhappy about the 'kind of content' being shared by her pal and her boyfriend, Daniel Johnson.
The post which reportedly really riled the 'female boss' was a video in which Michelle and Daniel joked that dinner was on Tulisa when she left the jungle. A friend said that she felt it was 'inappropriate'.
Speaking to Mail Online, they claimed: "They were only in Australia because of Tulisa. It felt like they were revelling in the situation and taking liberties on her kindness. Michelle and Daniel were there, on a trip funded by ITV and only because of Tulisa. They were there because of her and she trusted them with her social media."

After crossing the red bridge, the musician joined cast and crew in a JW Marriott Hotel nearby - but disappeared from the luxury lodgings.
“Tulisa and the two friends who came to Australia with her disappeared after she came out. No one saw her in the hotel and she wasn’t talking to anyone,” an insider told The Sun.
“Her mates were talking among themselves and were worried as no one could pin her down. They were chatting back and forth in their group chats and no one could raise her. It was total radio silence.”
Following reports of friction between the friends, Tulisa, took to her Instagram - which she is once again in charge of - insisting there is no bad blood between the pair.
She said: "Absolutely no issue with my sis's posts…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 and my soul fam so special to me. Say what u want about me, but leave my Shelly and Dan alone pls x."
