Tulisa Contostavlos, a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, has recently opened up about her experiences following her time on 'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!'. Her revelations offer a unique perspective on the challenges and emotions that come with such an intense reality show experience.

Overcoming Overwhelm and Dealing with Demons

After emerging from the jungle, Tulisa initially felt fine. However, as the evening progressed and her friends went to bed, she found herself becoming overwhelmed. This was a new experience for her, as she had been out of the spotlight for a while. She realized that she needed to take some time to just chill and process her thoughts. She explained, "It's OK to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I've been out of the spotlight for a long time. I'm still trying to overcome those things. I've still got my little demons." But she also insisted that this doesn't mean she will hide away for the next decade. She simply needs time to get right with herself.

Friendships in the Jungle and Beyond

Tulisa clarified that she doesn't think any of her jungle pals are fake. During her time on 'Lorraine', she had a conversation where she tried to explain that in the jungle, everyone has their closer connections. But when they get out, those friendships really start to grow and become something special. She said, "I just want to clarify I do not think that any of my campmates are fake. When we get out is when you're really gonna see those friendships get nurtured and the people that really become your friends for life. You're gonna be friends with everyone. I love my jungle buddies, my jungle fam." She also shared her thoughts on the friendships formed during the show, saying, "I feel like I have [become friends] 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…”

Dealing with the Aftermath on Social Media

During her time in the jungle, Tulisa shared some jungle-related posts on her Instagram account. But due to personal reasons, she deleted those posts after not appearing on the 'I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked' spin-off show on Tuesday night (03.12.24). She took to social media to clear the air and explain her actions. She said, "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. But because it’s been a while for me I can get overwhelmed quite easily. 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.’"'I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ continues at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, and in Ireland on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Play. It's clear that Tulisa's journey after the show is one that many can relate to, as she navigates the challenges of dealing with newfound fame and the emotions that come with it.
