Tulisa is back at Manchester home after fleeing Australia early and ditching I’m A Celeb final amid secret struggle
TULISA has returned to her Manchester pad after fleeing Australia following her I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! exit.
The former N-Dubz star, 36, avoided being photographed at Manchester airport by using a private terminal so as not to be seen by paparazzi.
She was the third famous face to be evicted from the jungle on Monday night.
Hours later she deleted all traces of the ITV show from her social media.
The singer also opted out of filming videos about her time in I’m A Celebrity on their official social channels, something which the other stars have taken part in.
Tulisa instead shared one video as she addressed speculation earlier this week – after she refused to appear on I’m A Celebrity’s spin-off series Unpacked, and then hopped on a plane back to the UK.
She opened up about her secret struggle, telling fans: “I’m just doing a little video to clear a couple things up.
“Just so you know, when I came out of the jungle, I felt fine first of all and then that evening my friends went to bed.
“But because it’s been a while for me I can get overwhelmed quite easily.
“I just started to feel overwhelmed. I thought do you know what, I really just need to take a bit of time for me and just chill.”
She added: “You know, it’s okay to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I’ve been out of the spotlight for a long time.
“I’m still trying to overcome those things. I’ve still got my little demons.
“It doesn’t mean I’m going to go hide under a rock for the next 10 years.
“It means I just need a little bit of time to just process and get right with my thoughts.”
I’m A Celeb fans will be happy to know Tulisa will appear on the Coming Out spin-off special.
It comes after she sparked rumours of a feud between the campmates when she appeared on ITV’s Lorraine after leaving the jungle.
Tulisa later explained: “Also, I just want to clarify I do not think any of my campmates are fake.
“I was having a conversation with Lorraine and what I was trying to say was typical me thinking out loud.
“Everyone in there is going to have one or two individuals that they are way more close with than others.
“When we get out, is when you are really going to see those friendships get nurtured and really become your friends for life.
“I’m friends with everyone. I love my jungle buddies, I love my jungle fam.
“But there are going to friendships that people have that really, really get nurtured and become friends for life.”
After her exit, Tulisa failed to appear on ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked – which ITV said was for “personal reasons”.
But a source insisted there is “no bad blood” between Tulisa and ITV.
They told The Sun: “The situation will become clear soon.”
A source close to the I’m A Celebrity star told us: “Tulisa was pretty miffed and utterly baffled by the suggestion she had fallen out with Michelle – they are as close as ever.
“They have flown back to the UK together and have been laughing about all the speculation.
“The truth of the matter is that Tulisa was struggling with her mental health, which is what she told fans.
“She wanted to be back at home, with her close friends and home comforts, and after a meeting with ITV, it was agreed by all parties that this would be the best thing for her.
“It’s nothing more than that, despite what people are saying.
“ITV have offered her a full duty of care package and she’ll be back to her best in no time.”
Just four stars now remain in the I’m A Celebrity camp.
They will be taking on the Celebrity Cyclone tonight ahead of someone being crowned king or queen of the jungle on Sunday.
The final four are Coleen Rooney, Richard Coles, Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse.
