Tulisa previously spoke out about the condition that needs to be met before she has sex again as she opened up about being demisexual.
During last night’s (19 November) episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! the 'Female Boss' had a candid chat with her campmates about sexuality and her celibacy.
With GK Barry having chatted about coming out to her parents when they met her girlfriend, and Alan Halsall talking about his divorce, Tulisa chatted about dating.
Confessing to Dean McCullough that she ‘hated’ using dating apps, the N-Dubz singer said: “I feel like I’m demisexual, I need to have a really close emotional bond with someone.”

And the 36-year-old went on to add: “I’m a slow, slow burner, I’ve been celibate for over three years.”
Demisexuality is a form of asexuality where a person only develops sexual feelings towards someone after time spent forming an emotional bond. Only after that is set will they be able to be sexually attracted to another person.
Tulisa has previously discussed her celibacy, and the Radio 1 DJ curiously asked her what it’s like to go without sex for that long as she explained: “I’m not an overly sexualised person.
“For me, it’s all about the connection and the emotions that I feel with someone and then wanting to express them in that way.”
The star received plenty of praise from viewers for opening up about her sexuality as they were pleased to see the representation on mainstream TV.
During an appearance on The Zeze Millz Show last year, Tulisa explained further that she doesn’t want to have sex again until she’s in a committed relationship.
Marking two years of celibacy at the time, the former The X Factor judge said: “I don’t date, I court.
“So basically you are courting because you like to build friendships before you start dating, you just don’t s**g them and you get to know them.”
Celibacy isn’t always necessarily a choice made because a person is demisexual but can be for a number of reasons such as for personal values, religious, spiritual or cultural beliefs, sexual health and mental health.
Demisexuality exists all the way across the sexual spectrum; you can be straight, gay, bisexual, pansexual, or any other sexuality and be on the demisexual spectrum.
This also applies to gender identities, with demisexuality existing amongst all genders.
