Tulisa Contostavlos has returned to the UK after exiting the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here jungle.

Instead of appearing on the hit ITV series’ final episode, the 36-year-old N-Dubz star made the surprise trip home to Blighty. The former X Factor judge has now returned home to Manchester, using a private terminal opposite the airport to avoid being photographed.

Tulisa was chosen to be the hostess on Monday night’s ITV show, and she has since become a hot button. While the other evictees prepare for the weekend’s finale, a Tulisa spokesperson cited “welfare reasons” for the move, a spokesperson for the Tulisa told the Mirror about her early UK return.

The statement dispelled any rumors of a significant conflict between Tulisa and her close friend Michelle McKenna. Tulitisa herself refuted these claims, saying she had no issues with Michelle or Daniel Johnson, who supported her.

Tulisa and her best friend Michelle haven’t had a disagreement, according to her spokesperson, who made the clarification on Thursday. They haven’t argued once since Tulisa left the jungle. Michelle and Tulisa actually made the trip back to London. They continued, denouncing the tale as a complete fabrication that wasn’t even vetted by Tulisa’s team before hitting press. Before being published, Tulisa’s team received a completely false report that didn’t even get to comment on it. The production agreed to Tulisa’s return home for welfare reasons.

Prior to this, it was reported that all campmates typically attended the King or Queen of the Jungle’s inauguration. However, a source claimed that Tulisa’s absence does not cause any harm to her. Following Tulisa’s departure from the show, she posted a video message in which she expressed her feelings of being “a little overwhelmed.” She addressed the issue of Michelle managing her Instagram page, which had been managed while she was away, when she addressed the incident.

Tulisa said:” Hey guys. Just a little video to clear up a few things, I’m doing. I felt okay at first when I emerged from the jungle, but then one evening, my friends went to bed and I was just trying to take a casual look at some funny stuff on Instagram.
I was receiving a lot of attention and bombardment, which was all in a good way, but because it’s been a while for me, I can get overwhelmed quite easily, and I just started to feel a little bit overwhelmed. And I was like, do you know what? I need to just relax for a moment and unwind. All of this is just feeling a little too much right now.

The actress openly stated on social media that she would just “just archive all my stuff” and would then create my own reels of my favorite moments once the time comes and I’ve had enough time to process it. Because remember, I haven’t been doing my Instagrams. I would have one or two really good reels about the jungle and putting my time together there because of how it’s being posted and all the random stuff.

She continued to explain her feelings, saying”, But I just really wanted to clear up the reasons why that I did that and just be honest – it’s OK to feel a little bit overwhelmed. I’ve had my demons for a long time, but I’ve been largely unfocused and still trying to get past them. It just means I need a little time to process it and get my thoughts straight. I’m not going to hide behind a rock for another ten years. Thank you to ITV and I’m A Celeb for being really understanding. I’m extremely grateful for the love and support I’ve received because my mental health is very important.

She added”, I’ve just felt overwhelmed. I’ve been in the jungle with people I’d only met for two and a half weeks, and I’ve come out after receiving a lot of attention. I’m like, “Wow, this is a lot!” and I just need a bit of time. “

Carol Vorderman has criticized toxic TV culture, revealing that she was fired from a show after complaining about bad behavior.

The former Countdown presenter warns that the rumor of misconduct against Gregg Wallace is just the tip of the iceberg in a systemic-problem-heavy industry. The 63-year-old said: “It’s about keeping people down, particularly women. And it’s not just Gregg Wallace. This kind of behaviour is widespread, and it’s been happening for years”.

The actress recalls a situation where she was never invited back after complaining about inappropriate behavior on a show. She said: “I’ve made complaints, you may not be surprised to hear, about various people. Well, obviously, I get sacked. However, I can’t remember the show I was on in the past couple of years because I complained about someone and never appeared again. It’s still happening today”.

After being accused of making inappropriate sexual remarks and jokes while filming for 17 years, MasterChef judge Wallace, 60, resigned from the BBC cooking program and canceled his show ten days ago. The former greengrocer later apologized for calling his accusers “a few middle-class women of a certain age.”

It is “entirely false” that he acts in sexually harassing behavior, according to his legal team. Carol, who was 22 when she first appeared on C4’s game show Countdown in 1982, has a reportedly IQ of 154.

She claims to have first-hand knowledge of the ingrained culture of protecting stars while ignoring the mistreatment of those who are beneath them during her long television career. You see this pattern of people speaking up too loudly, she said. If you’re the first one to make a complaint, you’re branded a troublemaker, and it’s incredibly difficult to get heard. Particularly if you’re just starting out, people are afraid to lose their jobs. If you stick your head above the parapet, you risk everything”.

The actress says female colleagues have frequently contacted her for assistance navigating abusive and exploitative practices in the industry because she is acutely aware of the difficulties facing younger women trying to make it in television. She continues, “I get a lot of women in TV who just want to know how to survive.

” I tell them, ‘ You’ve got to play the game, even if it’s not right’. But it’s hard, and it’s not just about sexual harassment. Its culture conceals the truth and keeps women at ease.

Carol is just one of many people who think the industry’s current culture of secrecy and fear needs to be addressed. Richard E. Grant, 67, the actor behind Withnail and I, has also brought attention to the harassment and bullying experienced by young TV runners.

Calling for change, Carol added:” We need unions that protect people, not just the stars. And producers and managers must have the necessary training to effectively manage, not just let things slide because it’s simpler. We need a cultural shift. And to make it happen, we must all stand together.

• Carol’s latest book Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain is currently available.

Nicko McBrain, 72, a heavy metal artist, has made the decision to quit playing drums for Iron Maiden.

Nicko explained his decision to stop performing after their December 7th show in Brazil on Twitter. “After much consideration, it is with both sorrow and joy, I announce my decision to take a step back from the grind of the extensive touring lifestyle. Today, Sat, Dec 7th, Sao Paulo will be my final gig with Iron Maiden. I wish the band much success moving forward”, the statement opened.

“I will, however, remain firmly part of the Iron Maiden family working on a variety of projects, my long time managers, Rod Smallwood and Andy Taylor, have in mind for me. I’ll also be working on a variety of different personal projects and focusing on my existing businesses and ventures, including The British Drum Company, Nicko McBrain’s Drum One, Titanium Tart, and of course, Rock-N-Roll Ribs”!

After making it clear that his “stepping back” didn’t mean that he would stop music altogether, Nicko added, “What can I say? The last 42 years of traveling with Maiden have been a remarkable journey! You made it all worthwhile, and I love you, to my devoted fan base. To my devoted wife, Rebecca, you made it infinitely easier and I love you! To my kids, Justin and Nicholas, thank you for understanding the absences and I love you! I love my friends who are there for me always. To my bandmates, you made it a dream come true and I love you”!

Nicko concluded the statement by saying, “I look into the future with great excitement and great hope! I’ll be seeing you soon, may God bless you all, and, of course, ‘ Up the Irons! ‘” The famous musician was flooded by supportive messages from fans, many of whom said the São Paulo gig – his last- was incredible. Rayo also noted that Iron Maiden’s manager, Rod Smallwood, shared on behalf of the band: “Nicko, And we all love you too! !

Thank you for being my friend and the unstoppable force behind Maiden’s drum kit for 42 years. We will miss you dearly, I assure the entire band in my own voice. You are deserving of all the accolades these marvellous fans will give you on this last show because we have had a special relationship with Brazil since Rock in Rio in 1985. It’s poetic and you are deserving of them. I’m sure there will be some more memorable projects involving the Maiden family and the FC, and Phantom look forward to many more years of working with you on the projects you mentioned!

“The band and I have a thousand wonderful memories of the past 42 years, great gigs, numerous platinum and gold discs, awards, love from the fans, and one beer too many times,” the band exclaimed. Such a bond is forever! And, as Steve Harris says, ‘ Nicko is and will always be part of the Maiden family’. Rod, Andy, Steve, Bruce, Davey, Adrian &amp, Jan. P. S. Maiden always get their man and our already chosen new drummer will be announced very shortly”.

As they discussed their journey so far this week, Strictly Come Dancing expert Jowita Przystal pointed out that Pete Wicks, her famous dance partner, is a “control freak,” in a lighthearted bbc joke.

After making it through to the semi-final, the pair answered questions from fans, which included: “If you had to label the other]person] as a Ballroom or Latin dance, which would you be and why”?.

With little hesitation, the 30-year-old Strictly pro likened Pete to an Argentine Tango. Keen to know more, Pete, 36, went on to ask how that dance differed from the Waltz they performed last weekend.

She explained on his Staying Relevant podcast: “There’s no frame and you do Ganchos.

” Kicks and flicks, you know like when you flick the leg, so you hook my leg and I hook your leg and we go around and we hook each other’s legs, and we’re quite close and it’s quite serious. “

She added:” So, it’s very serious, it’s very passionate and it’s very powerful – that’s basically you. “

Not stepping there, Jowita continued:” And you’re a control freak as well, I need to genuinely listen]to] every step of yours, I need to follow you. “

” OK, so that would be that, “Pete replied, keen to move on.

In a bid to reach the final, the dancing duo will perform an Argentine Tango to Bobby Darin’s Beyond the Sea and an Argentine Tango to Bittersweet Symphony on Tonight.

Those also still in the running to win the Glitterball trophy are, Tasha Ghouri, Sarah Hadland, JB Gill and Chris McCausland.

Pete is the favorite to leave this weekend, according to the most recent odds from Betway, but he has consistently defied these predictions.

Chris and his dance partner Dianne Buswell are still the odds-on favorite to win.

Montell Douglas, the star of the Gladiators, left last weekend as the latest celebrity to step down.

Pete thanked fans for their support in an emotional message he shared on Instagram, explaining his shock over the outcome.

As part of his statement, he admitted he was unsure how he’ll go any further in the competition, but promised viewers he will give it his all.

In response, Jowita wrote:” You deserve it all Pete. And this week, we’ll make two stunning dances together.

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. on BBC One, Strictly Come Dancing will continue.
