A spokesperson for Tulisa Contostavlos has addressed her absence from *I’m a Celebrity* shows following her elimination.  

The N-Dubz singer, the third contestant to leave the jungle, has not participated in any related programs, including the spin-off *Unpacked*, unlike fellow evictees Jane Moore and Dean McCullough.  

Tulisa has also removed all references to the show from her social media and reportedly left Australia, confirming she won’t appear in Sunday’s finale.  

In a statement, her representative clarified the situation and dismissed rumors of a fallout with her friend Michelle McKenna, who had been managing Tulisa's Instagram, as reported by The Metro.

“The truth of the matter is that Tulisa was struggling with her mental health, which is what she told fans,” says the source. “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.

“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.”

Tulisa’s spokesperson added: “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.”

Earlier this week, Tulisa shared a video on Instagram explaining she has “cleared things up” and said she “needs some time” after deleting her social media posts and not going on the spin-off show.

In the clip, she said: “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.

“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.”

She added: “‘And 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.”
