Tulisa Contostavlos has spoken out after suggesting that some of her I'm A Celeb campmates are acting 'fake' just hours after being eliminated from the ITV show - with the N-Dubz star leaving third after Jane Moore and Dean McCullough's exits. Appearing on Lorraine after her exit, Tulisa said she had "friends for life" in some of her I'm A Celeb co-stars but felt not everybody was being genuine in front of the cameras.

But now, Tulisa has taken to Instagram with a video clearing up that she was simply 'thinking out loud' and doesn't think her campmates are fake. “I just want to clarify I do not think any of my campmates are fake. I was having a conversation on Lorraine and what I was trying to say it - typical me just thinking out loud - is that everyone in there is gonna have one or two individuals that they’re way more close with than others and that when we get out is when you’re really going to see those friends get nurtured.”

The moment Tulisa is referring to is when she said to host Lorraine: "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," she said.

Tulisa also left fans confused as she seemed to wipe all trace of the jungle from her Instagram account, deleting all the posts that were shared while she was on the show. She also failed to do her scheduled appearance on the spin-off show, Unpacked, leaving many wondering why she was distancing herself from the show.

In her clip, she admitted to feeling 'overwhelmed' after leaving, and said she didn't like the way the posts looked on her Instagram feed, but would be sharing more to remember her time in camp.

"I started to get a bit bombarded, in the most positive way, but because it's been quite a while for me, I can get quite overwhelmed. And I started to get overwhelmed and 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 for me at the moment," she explained.

Continued: "I'm just gonna archive all my stuff to do with the jungle and then when the time is right, and I feel chilled, I'm gonna make my own reels of all my best bits that I really like. Because remember, I haven't been doing my Instagram, so the way everything is posted and all the random stuff is not the way I would do my insta. I would have one or two really good reels relating to the jungle and my time in there."
