I'm A Celebrity's Tulisa Contostavlos has sparked feud rumours since she left the jungle - on and off camera. Here's what we know...
Tulisa Contostavlos sparked rumours of a fall out with one of her I'm A Celebrity campmates after it emerged she wasn't following them on social media.
The 36-year-old N-Dubz star was the third celeb to be voted out of the jungle earlier this week, after Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough and journalist and Loose Women star Jane Moore. But while the other evicted campmates wait for a reunion with their fellow celebs when the winner of this year's series is finally revealed, Tulisa has already flown back to the UK. She has also deleted all traces of her I'm A Celeb appearance from her Instagram feed.
Though the Young singer didn't appear to have any drama with anyone in the jungle, eagled-eyed fans noticed she wasn't following Reverend Richard Coles, who was a late addition to the jungle with former Love Island star turned TV host Maura Higgins.
Now a spokesperson for the star has told the Mirror that she has a very valid reason and explained: "Her team never followed him whilst she was in the jungle because his instagram isn't active and he hasn't posted since 2017. Tulisa can now see he doesn't use instagram for herself too."
However, the singer is following all the other campmates and said she suspected some people were being "pally pally for the cameras" in her only interview after the ITV show with Lorraine Kelly. But in a final snub to I'm A Celebrity, Tulisa was a no-show for I'm A Celeb spin-off show Unpacked. She also failed to meet Melvin Odoom when he left the jungle, despite her fellow campmates Jane and Dean being there. And now, she's left Oz all together.
Taking to Instagram now she's back in control of it herself, Tulisa told fans she had deleted the I'm A Celeb posts because she felt "overwhelmed" by the experience after being out of the spotlight for a few years. She promised she would post her own reels from the show on social media 'when the time was right'. However, there were reports that she and best pal, Michelle McKenna, who had been running Tulisa's Instagram account while she was in camp, were screaming at one another after the singer made it clear she was unhappy about the 'kind of content' being shared by her pal and her boyfriend, Daniel Johnson.
The post which reportedly 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 Tulisa felt it was 'inappropriate'. Speaking to the Mail, they shared: "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. She was distraught to see what had been posted and she wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible."
However, Tulisa has denied there was any friction between the friends, taking to Instagram, insisting: "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 & my soul fam so special to me. Say what u want about me, but leave my Shelly & Dan alone pls x."
Speaking to the Mirror, a spokesperson for Tulisa said: "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. This story has been completely fabricated and wasn't even sent to Tulisa's team for a chance to comment prior to publication. The decision for Tulisa to return home to the UK was agreed to by the production for welfare reasons."
