Tulisa Contostavlos is poised for a final I'm a Celebrity stint despite her early departure from Australia, the Mirror has learned. The celeb has consented to appear on the Coming Out show, which follows the contestants post-jungle life.
ITV chiefs have reportedly been in talks with Tulisa's team about using footage of her exit and return to the hotel, receiving approval to do so. While it remains unclear if Tulisa's admission of feeling "overwhelmed" and struggling with mental health after her jungle experience will be mentioned, a source has confirmed: "She will definitely feature on the show which is brilliant as she was such a loved campmate."
Post-exit, camera crews captured Tulisa reuniting with her best mate Michelle McKenna and her journey back to the JW Marriott Hotel, including her entrance into the lobby where she met Dean McCullough and Jane Moore.
Further filming included her hotel room confessional and media commitments, including an interview with Lorraine. However, concerns were raised when she missed the I'm a Celeb spin-off Unpacked and the hotel gathering with fellow contestant Melvin Odoom.
The 36 year old N-Dubz star and ex-X Factor judge later shared how her time in the jungle had left her feeling "overwhelmed", reports the Mirror.
Tulisa explained: "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. I need a little time to process it and get right with my thoughts.
"I've just felt overwhelmed. I'm an introvert. 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."
She also expressed gratitude, saying: "Thank you to ITV and I'm a Celeb for being understanding. Mental health is really important and I'm grateful for the love and support I've had."
Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Tulisa will appear on Coming Out on December 13, despite having left Australia and potentially missing the I'm A Celebrity final. According to sources, there is no ill will towards Tulisa for her absence, with one stating: "There is no bad blood at Tulisa not being there whatsoever."
Tulisa also took to social media to deny any issues with her friend Michelle or Daniel Johnson, who had travelled to Australia to support her.
Her remarks came after a newspaper article suggested she had a dispute with Michelle over the content of her social media posts, which Michelle could access while she was in the jungle. On Instagram, she clarified: "Absolutely no issue with my sis's posts...haven't argued with my best mate in over 10 years.

A spokesperson for Tulisa told the Mirror: "There has been absolutely no fall out between Tulisa and her best friend Michelle. They haven't argued once since Tulisa left the jungle. Michelle in fact travelled back to London with Tulisa.
