I'm A Celebrity 2024 served up a real shocker on Monday evening when Tulisa Contostavlos was the unexpected celeb to leave the jungle camp.

The N-Dubz star was clearly surprised by her early exit, and upon leaving, she confessed to presenters Ant and Dec that life in the jungle had been hard.

"You're just going to be more grateful for everything. The food you eat, the people that you love... you don't realise how good you've got it," said Tulisa during her eviction interview. She went on to describe the experience as "testing" but proudly stated she remained true to herself.

The conversation continued on Tuesday when Tulisa opened up on ITV's Lorraine about her time on the show. She alluded to a difference between camaraderie in front of the cameras and genuine friendships developing off-screen.

Reflecting on lasting connections formed in the jungle, Tulisa remarked: "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..."

When pressed by Lorraine on who she thought deserved to win, Tulisa immediately had a name ready to share, reports the Mirror.

Tulisa has expressed her fondness for Oti Mabuse after their time together in the jungle, noting: "Oti is just a pure soul. She's amazing and people like her are hard to come by."

The singer also mentioned that she built close bonds with Alan Halsall, Maura Higgins, and Melvin Odoom during their shared experience and hoped to see them alongside Oti in the final four.

Upon learning Tulisa had been eliminated, fans voiced their shock. One fan remarked: "So surprised that Tulisa is the one gone."

Another chipped in: "Tulisa should've been a finalist," while a third exclaimed, "WHO THE ACTUAL F**K VOTED FOR TULISA."

"OMG nooooo not Tulisa! ! ! ! She didn't get a proper chance. This makes me so sad," someone lamented, as another pointed out, "Tulisa was one of the strongest character's in the jungle this year. There are so many big personalities in there and I feel like we didn't get to see her shine. Such a shame,".

After Tulisa's departure was aired, Ant and Dec shared their surprise on the ITV spin-off show Unpacked. They echoed each other's disbelief, with Dec describing Tulisa as a "big" and "integral" part of the show, and Ant admitting: "That was a real shock for me that was."

Dec further commented on the unpredictability of this year’s voting, saying: "It's so hard to call it this year. There's people at home going I like them all, I don't know who to vote for, I'll vote for this person tonight," hinting that perhaps viewers assumed certain campmates were already safe.
