Rumoured I'm A Celebrity campmate Tulisa Contostavlos is said to be planning to make the most of her return to the spotlight, with the show described as a "launch pad" for her.
Tulisa, 36 - who is best known as a member of N-Dubz - is expected to be a campmate on the new series of the ITV show, which launches next weekend. The singer-songwriter was spotted arriving in Australia on Sunday, with her the third star to have landed in Brisbane ahead of the launch.
Her arrival comes amid speculation that she will release new solo music after I'm A Celebrity. The former X Factor judge hasn't released music on her own since 2019 and her first, and currently only, solo album came out back in 2012.
A source told the Sun that Tulisa remains a "musician at heart" and has been "quietly working on new music". Teasing about the opportunity, they commented: "Being on I'm A Celebrity is the perfect way to reintroduce herself into public life and gives her a launch pad for new solo music."

They added that Tulisa would like to "give something back to her fans" who have supported her over the years and is "so excited" about the future. They said: "She'll take on the jungle and then she'll get back to work on new music."
Although she hasn't released solo music for five years, new material has been shared by N-Dubz in recent years. Tulisa reunited with N-Dubz bandmates Dappy and Fazer back in 2022 following an 11-year hiatus by the MOBO Award-winning group. The trio went on tour together at the time and released their most recent album, Timeless, last year.
ITV has yet to announce the line-up for the new series of I'm A Celebrity but there's been much speculation ahead of the launch. Coleen Rooney, former professional boxer Barry McGuigan and Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse are among the celebrities expected to be take part.
Some celebrities have already arrived in Australia head of the launch next weekend. Tulisa was photographed at Brisbane Airport on Sunday, following the previous arrival of two other rumoured campmates earlier on the same day.
