I'm A Celeb fans baffled as Tulisa misses ITV appearance after deleting jungle posts
Melvin Odoom was the latest celebrity to be voted out of the jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here on Tuesday 3 December. However, fans who turned over to ITV2 to watch spin-off show Unpacked were more surprised that Monday’s evictee, Tulisa Contostavlos, was not there to share her own experience of the jungle.
Tulisa left the camp on Monday night and was expected to return to chat to Unpacked hosts Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers and Sam Thompson on Tuesday. However, at the start of the show, Joel announced that Tulisa would not be there, and eagle eyed fans have also noticed that the N-Dubz singer has deleted all references to I’m a Celeb from her social media.
Fans were quick to query Tulisa’s absence from Unpacked, with one writing: “#imaceleb Oh I wonder what’s happened with Tulisa not on itv2 and the posts deleted about the jungle.” Another wrote: "Where’s Tulisa? Exclusive interview elsewhere?" while a third shared: "Is no one is watching the extra show? We are all trying to find out why #Tulisa isn't there, and has deleted everything to do with it."

A fourth added: "What's happening? No Tulisa on Unpacked, also she's deleted her social media, hoping she's ok because she did great; shame she went so soon, I thought she did herself proud #ImACeleb." Another fan said: "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?" and one other said: "I'm so confused with what's going on with Tulisa, she seemed to come across well in the jungle."
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.”
During her exit interview, Tulisa shared: "You're just going to be more grateful for everything. The food you eat, the people that you love... you don't realise how good you've got it." She also discussed the jungle on the Lorraine show on Tuesday morning, and hinted all may not have been well in her relationships with some of the campmates.
"I feel like I have [a bond] 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..."
Probed by Lorraine on who should win, Tulisa promptly endorsed Oti Mabuse and mentioned she was particularly close to Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins, and Melvin Odoom, expressing her desire to see them make it to the final four along with Oti. Sadly, Melvin has now been voted out, leaving eight celebrities left in the camp and, according to Ant and Dec, no eviction on Wednesday night.
