Ant and Dec explain after they and Tulisa fail to show on I'm A Celeb Unpacked
I'm A Celeb fans were left baffled last night after not only did axed contestant Tulisa fail to appear on the ITV2 spin-off Unpacked - but hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly also didn't turn up for their regular appearance. It came after the N-Dubz and X Factor star deleted all of her Instagram pictures from the jungle.
Unpacked host Joel Dommett simply told viewers she would not be appearing as planned, saying: "Unfortunately we don't have Tulisa on the show today." Speculation took off online, with one fan writing: "That's a shock, they said last night she would be on it today, very strange."
Another asked: "What's going on with Tulisa? She's deleted all traces of I'm a celeb from her IG and now she's not on unpacked?" Others joked that both Tulisa and Ant and Dec failing to show up could be a worthy enough case for Coleen Rooney's detective skills.

But while Ant and Dec did not appear on ITV2's I'm A Celeb Unpacked show, they did present their Instagram-only show Jungle Club as usual. They did not answer the many questions about where Tulisa was that were popping up regularly in the comments section.
However, they did explain their own non-appearance. The pair initially joked that they'd had a falling-out with Unpacked stars Joel and Sam Thompson before Dec added more seriously: "We couldn't do it because we're going down to camp to do an announcement so we had to go and prepare for that."
The announcement in camp is that the stars will be competing for tickets to the Celebrity Cyclone, the final trial which features the remaining four stars.
Tulisa's Instagram page now makes no reference to her appearance on I'm A Celeb, despite the new following she has from the show and she has offering no explanation for not appearing on Unpacked.
When she left the camp, a source commented to the Mirror that: "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.”
The singer was the third person to leave, following in the footsteps of Jane Moore and Dean McCullough. She was followed on Tuesday night by Melvin Odoom.
