Tulisa has spoken out for first time since returning to UK, confirming whether she will be at tonight's (8 December) final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Down Under.
After her exit from the jungle, the star appeared to remove all content from the show from her socials, didn't appear on the ITV spin-off show and left Australia early.
With the 36-year-old not hanging around for the rest of I'm A Celeb, her management issued a statement confirming why she disappeared so suddenly.

"The truth of the matter is that Tulisa was struggling with her mental health, which is what she told fans. She wanted to be back at home, with her close friends and home comforts, and after a meeting with ITV it was agreed by all parties that this would be the best thing for her," said the source.
Tulisa's spokesperson continued: “It’s nothing more than that, despite what people are saying. ITV have offered her a full duty of care package and she’ll be back to her best in no time.”
“There has been absolutely no fall out between Tulisa and her best friend Michelle. They haven’t argued once since Tulisa left the jungle. Michelle in fact travelled back to London with Tulisa... This story has been completely fabricated and wasn’t even sent to Tulisa’s team for a chance to comment prior to publication. The decision for Tulisa to return home to the UK was agreed to by the production for welfare reasons.”
And this morning, the star took to Instagram, posting a number of images from her time in the jungle.
She wrote in the caption: "Looking back at some of my favourite moments from the @Imacelebrity jungle. It’s been a whirlwind. Thank you to @itv for the experience and sending so much love to my Jungle Fam before the final tonight. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you all."
The images showing her 'favourite moments' on I'm A Celeb include her doing the iconic 'The Female Boss' pose, chatting with Oti Mabuse and bossing her way through an eating trial.
After exiting the jungle and before her early return to the UK, Tulisa shared a video with her fans, explaining that she 'needs some time' following the show.
“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.”
The star confessed to feeling 'overwhelmed' after leaving the jungle: "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.”
