Tulisa Contoslavlos update given by N-Dubz’ Fazer after she snubs I’m A Celeb final and leaves Oz early
N-Dubz singer Fazer has given an update on his bandmate Tulisa Contoslavlos after her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which saw her eliminated third from the show before flying back home to the UK early and missing out on the final. Fans were confused at Tulisa's early departure and apparent snub for the show, leaving many worried for her mental health after she admitted things were 'overwhelming' upon her jungle departure.
But confirming she is doing well, Fazer told MailOnline: "She's good. She's happy, she's happy to be home. She's getting ready for Christmas, ordering her turkey and stuff so all good.” The rapper, whose real name is Richard Rawson, continued that he watched the show until Tulisa was voted off, sharing: "There was no need for me to be watching this anymore. Now my band member's not in it anymore it's not gonna interest me as much!"
Adding that he voted for his bandmate to do some of the show's infamous Bushtucker trials , Fazer is clearly proud of Tulisa for her time on the show. "I think she held herself well and she came across really genuine, which was really nice to see because I feel like the public managed to see that as well. They saw her as her authentic self, not a perception of what they may have had in their heads."

Tulisa formed N-Dubz with Fazer and her cousin Dappy back in 2000, with the band reuniting in 2022 and touring since.
Following Tulisa's swift departure and apparent distance from the show, it was later revealed that Tulisa had decided to leave Australia for her mental health, and as a result, she missed the coming-out party, where everyone celebrated Danny Jones' win.
During the bash , which was filmed for the coming-out show and aired on Friday (13 December), a video message from Tulisa was played, in which she said she was "so sorry" to miss it. The N-Dubz star says: "Hello everybody, I'm so proud of you all, you've absolutely smashed it, now I want you to go and eat yourselves into an oblivion. I'm so sorry that I can't be there so have a big old drink for me. I love you lots like jelly tots and I will see you soon."
After her return to the UK, Tulisa shared a video to Instagram where she explained things had been overwhelming. "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," she said.
"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."
She added: "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."
