Since her exit on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has reportedly been sending mixed messages.

After leaving the jungle camp, the 36-year-old N-Dubz star appeared to have snubbed the popular ITV series. She also appeared to leave the country early to make a quick return to the UK, avoiding any appearance on its sister show, Unpacked.

She has now used the opportunity to share the I’m Coming Out show, which airs tonight despite her glaring attempts to distance herself from her co-stars. A reel that was being promoted to the show was shared by Tulaisa on Instagram. She emailed fans to “tune in” and sent a love heart emoji afterward on the share.

The stars are back together in Danny Jones and Coleen Rooney’s final episode of this series, which features them once more in conversation. In a sneak peek of the special Coming Out episode that ITV released, Tulisa’s fellow contestants had revealed the moment she abruptly left Australia.

She is seen in the clip appearing on a TV screen as she says: “Hello everybody, I’m so proud of you all, you’ve absolutely smashed it, now I want you to go and eat yourselves into an oblivion. Have a big old drink for me because I’m so sorry I can’t be there. I’m a big fan of you, and I’m excited to see you soon. After her eviction, the actress had deleted all of her social media posts about her experience. Despite concern by fans as to why she did this, she later claimed she had “no issues” with the content. She instead explained she had felt “a little bit overwhelmed”.

Speaking about her experience in a film shortly before she fled Australia, Tulisa admitted she “didn’t feel different” after life in camp. Prior to her appearance on the hit program, she had claimed that having a sex tape leaked and that she had been mistakenly accused of being a drug dealer, it might be “closure” for her and “like therapy.” However, she had a negative reaction after being voted out of the show’s early season and did not remain in Australia with other campmates after openly discussing her difficult life experiences on the show.

And in the most recent episode, Michelle McKenna greets her as well. They are both seen laughing at their anticipation of pizza, pasta, and wine. Tulisa then goes on to say, “I said I would come out different, but I don’t feel any different.” I have a stronger sense of who I am.

Tulisa Contostavlos has spilled the beans on her past scuffles with N-Dubz bandmates as a means to “toughen” up, revealing in her 2012 autobiography ‘Honest: My Story So Far’ how she learned to “fight like a man”.

Despite being the third celeb to wave goodbye to the I’m A Celeb jungle this year, Tulisa chose to jet back to Manchester rather than stick around for the grand finale on December 8, reports the Daily Record.

She might still grace our screens on tonight’s Coming Out show on ITV 1. The N-Dubz sensation delved into a time when fights were part of her life, leading to tricky situations where she couldn’t confess to her dad that “someone had beaten the s**t out of me”. Instead, she followed the “rules of the street” which meant she stayed silent to avoid being branded a “snitch”.

It sparked fury among her bandmates Dappy and Richard ‘Fazer’ Rawson, especially when she turned up at the studio looking like she’d gone ten rounds in a “boxing match”. To help her out, Dappy would stand up to girls targeting her, while Richard roped in his tough older female cousin for support.

The duo even took it upon themselves to give Tulisa some real fighting training, engaging in full-on sparring matches without holding back.

“Dappy and I would have full-on fights, punching the s**t out of one another, just to make me stronger. I came away with black eyes and busted lips courtesy of Dappy and Richard, but at the same time, they taught me to fight like a man, which is what I needed.”

She also mentioned that she would spar with Dappy’s friends, often ending up “on the floor” but ensured she gave as “good as I got” when it was a “fair match”. The ‘I Need You’ singer confessed that she didn’t turn to her parents for help because she didn’t want to appear “weak”, while she believed she needed to be “tough to survive”.

Fans noticed Tulisa’s absence from the I’m A Celeb finale, with comments such as: “Tulisa is nowhere to be seen,” and “OMG! You’d miss Tulisa being beside Oti all the time. I really wonder what happened.”

Despite this, Tulisa shared some favourite moments from the show on Instagram, apologising to her campmates for not being there for the final.

She said: “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.”

Comic Chris McCausland has admitted he had doubts about joining Strictly Come Dancing, fearing it wouldn’t be “worth the risk”.

The 47 year old comedian, who is blind, has expressed his pride in reaching the final with his dance partner Dianne Buswell. In his column for the Daily Telegraph, Chris shared his initial concerns: “I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved and how it’s been received, and just the effect that it seems to have had on people’s attitudes towards disability.

“We’ve had so many lovely messages. And that’s the whole point of being on this show for me – to represent in a positive way, not in a sob-story way. ” He continued, “If I’m honest, I didn’t know whether Strictly was worth the risk, because I didn’t know if it was achievable. If I’d been terrible, it would have been no good for anybody – all it would have proved is that somebody with a disability can’t compete.”

However, with Dianne’s support, he feels they’ve succeeded: “But, with my amazing teacher Dianne by my side, we’ve managed it.” Chris also dismissed any notion that he’s progressed in the competition out of sympathy, stating: “We’ve also made it to the finish line without ever once having less points than the person eliminated, so I don’t feel like we’ve been kept in on sympathy. I’m proud that we’ve deserved our place each week.”

Despite his comedic flair, the funnyman admitted he should have hit the gym prior to the start of rehearsals as he still doesn’t feel quite up to scratch. Opening up, he confessed he has one regret about his time on the show: “I’ve learnt to let myself go more and more as we’ve continued. If I could turn the clock back I’d probably spend six months beforehand getting fitter. Even last week I couldn’t physically talk after our Viennese Waltz.”

He has also forged strong bonds with fellow participants, sharing that: “Paul [Merson] and Nick [Knowles] have been supporting me from the sidelines and Pete [Wicks] has become like a brother to me. We’ve promised we’ll go for a slap-up meal together once we’re out of dance prison.”

On Saturday, Chris and Dianne will perform three dances in a bid to impress the judges and the voters at home, who will ultimately decide who wins the glitterball trophy. His fellow finalists are comedian JLS singer JB Gill, Miranda actress Sarah Hadland, and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Final will air live on Saturday from 6pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Kerry Katona has revealed she plans to get matching tattoos with Katie Price over the Christmas holidays.

The two best friends are starring in their pantomime Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court theatre and have been sharing some updates from the event on social media. But now, their bond is set to become even closer as the former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, revealed plans to get a matching tattoo with the former glamour model, 46, which will be inked by her daughter Molly.

Kerry said she gifted Molly a tattoo gun for her 23rd birthday earlier this year and she said she is excited to get a permanent inking from her daughter even if it’s just a “simple squiggle”. The TV personality, who has been open about her heartbreak since splitting from her partner of six years, Ryan Mahoney, made the surprising revelation in her column for New! Magazine.

Earlier this month, Kerry and Katie hinted that fans should expect a major music release following the success of their panto performance, in which they play the wicked step-sisters. Katie wrote in a post: “25 years of friendship and our first show together after the jungle and me and [Kerry] have smashed box office sales… wait for our new single,” alongside a starry eyes emoji.

Kerry shared a very similar message, writing about her long friendship with Katie and also hinting at a musical collaboration. “25 years of friendship and we’ve smashed it!! Watch this space… single on its way,” she wrote.

It comes as Kerry admitted she is “very heartbroken” after splitting from her fiancé. She told OK! Magazine: “I’m still feeling very heartbroken over my split from Ryan. I’m struggling to move on. It’s going to be so strange waking up on Christmas morning without him. I’m so used to having him there that it will be really weird. I’m not feeling very excited – it’s my first Christmas as a single mum again. I thought I’d be with Ryan forever, so I didn’t expect to spend Christmas alone.”

After meeting online in 2018, personal trainer Ryan popped the question to Kerry in 2021, and the couple appeared to be going strong. However, the relationship went downhill earlier this year when Kerry admitted she felt “unsupported” by her fiancé during her mum’s health battle. While she initially insisted the pair would work through their differences, she later confirmed Ryan had left the family home after what she called a “breach of trust”.

At the time, she wrote in her OK! column: “We are no longer together and it’s been a really tough week – I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there’s been a breach of trust between us. I don’t know if we’ll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much.

“I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it’s so much to deal with, I’m really struggling. But I know I can get through it, no matter what happens. I’ve been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens.”

Fearne Cotton, 43, a TV presenter, earlier today, revealed that she had split from husband Jesse Wood, 48, who is the son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood.

The former BBC Radio 1 presenter recently received the unexpected news that she was about to divorce. She regularly posts on Instagram Stories. She stated in a brief text message, “It is with a heavy heart that I am terminating our marriage.” Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We ask that you keep our family’s privacy a minimum at this time.

Fearne herself revealed some of the difficulties of their marriage to Jesse, who is the son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, despite her open communication with her followers. Fans frequently speculated that they might be on the outs.

The former CBBC star admitted to going through difficult times in her romance in a tell-all article back in 2019, but refuted the rumor that it would end. “I wrote that article to go ‘ what a load of s**t. ‘ Every marriage takes work. Because we’re willing to have those conversations, she said in response to the rumor at the time, “it doesn’t dilute our love or make our marriage any weaker.”

According to the Daily Mail, she also mentioned how she and Jesse were “desperately clinging” to their marriage after finding themselves in a park in a slightly earlier version, in January 2019. When fans raised concerns, Fearne branded worries about her marriage “absolute bulls**t”.

In part of a statement in response to the rumours, Fearne wrote: ‘ I’m happy to share the good and bad bits of myself because, of course, I’m not living this perfect, fairytale life. The same circumstance occurred the same year when Fearne revealed that Jesse and she frequently slept in separate beds.

The TV star shared a picture of herself and Jesse kissing, explaining that this was only possible because she struggled with sleeping. Alongside the intimate photo, she again reiterated:” My marriage IS NOT on the rocks. I have a very strong love for my husband in this photo.

Before announcing their split, Fearne and Jesse were plagued by rumors about their marriage years. But they ended their romance by sparking a fiery romance. Fearne and her girl pals first dated in 2011 when they first met while Fearne was visiting Ibiza. They soon discovered Jesse and soon forged a friendship.

Fearne posted a photo of herself and Jesse swapping numbers on Instagram with more details about their relationship. My mate, @amandabyram, who I was with on a girls’ holiday, wrote a candid note alongside the candid photo of me and @jessejameswood and I were out in Ibiza eight years ago.

She added:” Who would have thought it would lead to two kids and marriage! A game changing, very drunken night out that I’m forever grateful for. Happy ‘ when we met ‘ anniversary Jesse. Fearne and Lola and Arthur, Jesse’s teen children, welcomed Rex in February 2013 after meeting her and the couple welcomed her happy news more than a year later.

After almost two years of dating, Jesse proposed in London, surrounded by Holly Willoughby and Keith Lemon, and the couple wed in July 2014. In September 2015 the couple expanded their family again, with Fearne announcing the birth of a daughter, Holly.

On Friday night, Fearne Cotton revealed her shocking split from husband Jesse Wood.

The pair, who have two children together and have been married to each other for ten years, are divorcing just days after Fearne revealed that she underwent surgery to remove two benign tumors from her jaw. She is currently recovering from surgery.

She explained their spit in a statement on Instagram, explaining that she and Jesse are ending their marriage. Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We ask that you keep our family’s privacy a minimum at this time.

Fearne, a TV host and podcast host, has previously revealed details of her marriage. In one telling comment, she explained how she was not “living this perfect, fairy-tale life”. However, at the time she admitted the couple were as strong as ever, despite speculation suggesting otherwise.

She published an article in Red Magazine in the spring of 2019, and she made the comment. She had revealed in her column that Jesse and I had experienced a rough patch a year prior. She explained how Jesse’s touring with his band, Reef, was putting a strain on her while keeping her own career moving while taking care of the kids.

But she confessed her open comments weren’t meaning they were still struggling. Speaking to the Telegraph, she said: “I wrote that article to go” what a load of s**t”. Work is required in every marriage. It doesn’t dilute our love or make our marriage any weaker, it actually makes it stronger because we’re willing to have those conversations”.

She continued, “My teenage stepchildren are old enough to browse the internet freely and I just thought I don’t want them reading that and thinking Jesse and I are having struggles and haven’t told them because we’re an extremely honest family,” adding that she did do so in an effort to dispel the rumors. I’m happy to share the good and bad bits of myself because, of course, I’m not living this perfect, fairytale life”.

The actress also revealed recently how the couple’s tensions were high during the lockdown. Speaking on her Happy Place podcast, Fearne said: “I am a very fiery ­person, and Jesse can also be quite fiery. In front of the kids, we’ve undoubtedly argued. At some point, the majority of parents have. Although it’s not typical, we’ve definitely popped at one another in their faces, and it’s not all that good.

In a sweet ceremony surrounded by Holly Willoughby and her family, podcaster Fearne and Jesse, son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, tied the knot in 2014 in a sweet ceremony. The former couple has two children, and Jesse is also the father of two older children who were previously together.
