TULISA has broken her silence after deleting her I’m A Celeb posts and snubbing the show’s spin-off.

The star appeared to hint that some of her campmates were “fake” during an appearance on Lorraine earlier this week.

She also raised a few eyebrows after deleting all the content from her time in the jungle.

But N-Dubz singer Tulisa has now broken her silence in a bid to clear up the mystery.

Posting on Instagram this morning, Tulisa said: “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.”

Tulisa added: “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.”

The mystery over Tulisa Contostavlos’ I’m A Celeb exit deepened today after she failed to greet axed pal Melvin Odoom.

Their fellow evictees Jane Moore and Dean McCullough, plus the other celebs’ friends and family, cheered as Melvin arrived at their hotel after being evicted.

Jane and Dean hugged Melvin as he entered the lobby of the JW Marriott in Surfers Paradise, Australia.

But Tulisa, 36, was nowhere to be seen – a day after she deleted all traces of her time in camp from her social media.

Her pals Michelle McKenna and Daniel Johnson were also absent – despite having greeted the other celebs.

After her exit, Tulisa then 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.”

Tulisa’s Insta post in full

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.

Then that evening my friends went to bed, I was on my Instagram trying to have a nice little scroll at some funny stuff.

I was getting a lot of attention, a lot of bombarding in all the most positive way.

But because it’s been a while for me I can get overwhelmed quite easily.

And 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.

This is all feeling just a little bit much at the moment. I’m just going to archive all my stuff to do with the jungle.

Then when the time is right and I’ve had a little time to process I’m going to make my own reels of all my best bits I really like.

Because remember I haven’t been doing my Instagram, the way everything is posted is not the way I would do my Insta.

I would have one or two really good reels relating to the jungle and bringing together my time in there.

I just wanted to clear up the reasons why that I did that and just be honest.

You know, it’s okay to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I’ve been out of the spotlight for a long time and 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.

Thank you to ITV and I’m a Celeb for being so patient with me and, you know, mental health is important.

Thanks for all the love and support I’ve had. I just get a bit overwhelmed – I’m a bit of an introvert guys.

I’ve been in the jungle with people I’d only just met for two and a half weeks straight.

Then I’ve come out, I’ve seen loads and loads of attention and I’m like woah, this is a lot.

And I just needed a little bit of a breather. And also I just want to clarify I do not think that any of my campmates are fake.

I was having a conversation on Lorraine and what I was trying to say was is that everyone in there is going to have one or two individuals they’re way more close with than others.

When we get out is when we’re going to see those friendships nurtured, and going to be friend for life.

I love my jungle buddies, but there’s going to be friendships people have that become something like ‘Wow this is going to be my friend for life’.

That’s all I was trying to say.

The N-Dubz singer appeared to take the result well and spoke highly of her campmates in her exit interview with hosts Ant and Dec.

But after regaining control of her phone, Tulisa wasted little time removing the jungle-themed posts that had been shared by her team during her time in the jungle.

Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that she doesn’t follow Barry McGuigan on Instagram – the only campmate she isn’t digital friends with.

A source said: “Tulisa was in high spirits when she left the set, but something appears to have happened that’s left her raging.

“She wasn’t in a great mood for her post-show interviews and appears to be already distancing herself from the programme. It’s all a bit of a mystery at the moment.”

 

 

‘FRIENDS FOR LIFE’

Tulisa decided not to appear on Unpacked, with show host Joel Dommett announcing the line-up change at the top of the show.

Former campmate Jill Scott starred, along with family members of remaining campmates.

A spokesman for ITV said Tulisa missed the show for “personal reasons” and there are rumours circulating she is preparing to fly home early.

She hasn’t been seen since her appearance on Lorraine in which she opened up about her time in the jungle.

Tulisa said she has “friends for life” but that not all her campmates were genuine.

The former X Factor judge said: “I feel like I have with some of them. I think they will be friends for life.

“But a lot of people for the cameras were being very pally pally but the real test will be when everyone is out.

“Will they make the effort to send texts in the group chat? Will they do the four-hour drives to see each other? We’ll see.”

 

One strong friendship Tulisa made was with professional dancer Oti Mabuse.

She also revealed that she’d like to see Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins and Melvin Odoom join Oti in the final four.
