Tulisa shames I'm A Celeb campmates being 'fake for the cameras' after exit
I'm A Celeb's Tulisa Contostavlos suggested some of her jungle campmates are being fake - hours after becoming the third person to leave the ITV jungle. The star, 36, followed Jane Moore and Dean McCullough to the exit last night in a move that left many viewers fuming. The singer and former X Factor judge insisted she was pleased to be leaving after the public voted for their favourites, saying it was "tough" in camp.
Speaking this morning on Lorraine, the star added that 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, even suggesting some were faking their feelings in order to progress on the show. Asked if she felt she'd forged a lifelong bond, she said: "I feel like I have 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."

Tulisa spoke to fans after her shock eviction from the camp saying: "It is what it is" and reassuring her followers devastated she's been handed an early exit: "I've got chocolate, I've got pizza, I've got wine. I'm living my best life."
In a video filmed from her hotel balcony in Australia, she said: ""Guys, I'm out. I'm showered, I'm fresh. I'm with the family. I want to say thank you all so much for all your support.
"Honestly, I can see people stressing, 'Why you out so early?' Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I've got chocolate, I've got pizza, I've got wine. I am living my best life. Thank you all so much, honestly. What an experience. I love you guys so much.
"Honestly what an experience. Absolute hell, but with a lot of joy and a lot of amazing memories. I'm really happy that I did it and I'm so glad that you all got to see the real me, finally. I love you lots like jelly tots. It is what it is."
Many were upset to see Tulisa go, with one viewer fuming: “Oh nah, I'm actually livid. How has Tulisa gone?? She's my queen!!” Another said: “Gutted Tulisa’s gone. I'm not going to watch now."
Bookies are now predicting a three-horse race for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle, with McFly's Danny Jones in pole position, followed by Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles. Maura Higgins trials the trio in fourth place, according to odds setters.
