The I Need You singer, 36, was also a no-show for the wild wrap party – which saw McFly singer Danny serenade his I’m A Celebrity campmates.
During Good Morning Britain’s entertainment segment on Tuesday, host Susanna Reid spoke to showbiz reporter Richard Arnold, 55, about the shake-up.
Addressing the coming out show on Friday, Susanna said: “Is that going to include Tulisa?” to which Richard replied: “No, cause she’s back in Blighty.”
Susanna, who was celebrating her 54th birthday on the ITV daytime show, continued: “So they’re not going to do the follow up?
“I think that’s such a shame isn’t it?”
Richard said: “She’s still processing her journey, I’m sure we will hear more come the New Year.”
Susanna then added: “She did brilliantly on the show,” before Richard mused: “Such a great bond with Oti as well.”
REAL DEAL
Sippin’ singer Tulisa took to Instagram last week to address her fans, after The Sun revealed she was back home in Manchester.
She wrote: “Looking back at some of my favourite moments from the @Imacelebrity jungle. It’s been a whirlwind.
“Thank you to @itv for the experience and sending so much love to my Jungle Fam before the final tonight. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you all.”
After erasing all trace of her time in the jungle from her social media following her exit, Tulisa accompanied the post with a series of pictures from her stint on the ITV show.
She pulled out of a scheduled appearance on spin-off show Unpacked and later deleted all images of her time on the show from her social media.
She then took to social media to clear up the confusion, admitting she was “overwhelmed” after ten years out of the spotlight and needed time to readjust.
She said: “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.”
