Tulisa Contostavlos, the latest celebrity to leave the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, has revealed the reason why she's wiped all evidence of her time on the show from her social media.
The 36-year-old singer, known for her part in rap trio N-Dubz, delighted fans during her time on the show thanks to her candid nature.
Viewers learned Tulisa has been celibate for three years, as well as revealing the real meaning behind the name of her group.
It came as a shock to many when Ant and Dec announced that Tulisa was the third celebrity to leave the jungle, following BBC radio presenter Dean McCullough and Loose Women's Jane Moore.

Many fans denounced that Tulisa had been 'robbed,' with some going as far to say that she should have been crowned Queen of the Jungle.
Following her departure from camp, Tulisa failed to appear on the spin-off show Unpacked, and deleted every post referencing her time on the show from her Instagram page.
One person wrote on X: "Tulisa deleted everything to do with #imaceleb off her social media and now isn’t gonna appear on tonight’s #unpacked as planned. What is happening pls?"
Now, Tulisa has finally revealed the reason behind her social media purge. Take a listen:
In a new video, 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."
She concluded: "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."
One person commented in response: "Please know, a lot of people wanted you in that final. Thank you for this, and never forget you were bloody loved."
Another said: "You deal with it however you need to, your mental health is your main priority."
While a third pondered: "Fair enough when it comes to her Instagram, she can have what she wants on it, but that doesn't really explain why she wasn't on Unpacked?"
