I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, has reportedly gone AWOL from the Australian hotel she’s been put up in.
N-Dubz singer Tulisa was the third person to be evicted from the jungle, leaving the show on Tuesday. Fans immediately assumed that something was not right after she skipped out on doing a post-show interview, and wiped her Instagram of all content from the show. 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.”
A second source also came forwards, adding: “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.”

In a short video, she explained: "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.”
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."
However, it has now been claimed that Tulisa had a massive row with her friend, Michelle McKenna, who came to greet her in the jungle once Tulisa was evicted. According to a source, Tulisa feels as though her friend 'took liberties' by flying to Australia to greet her.
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."
"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," the source added.
