Why I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa missed final after flying back to UK

Tulisa shared an Instagram post explaining she wouldn't be attending the final on Sunday (8 December)

The winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has finally been crowned, but viewers watching at home noticed that one campmate was missing from the final.

In Sunday's final of the show, Danny Jones was crowned the new King of the jungle, with Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles finishing in second and third place respectively.

At the end of the show, fellow campmates could be seen gathering to congratulate the winner, but it seemed Tulisa - who was voted out of the jungle earlier in the week - was missing.

Tulisa shared a statement with fans on Sunday morning, explaining she wouldn't be attending the final.

Sharing photos of her time in the jungle, she said on Instagram: "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."

Earlier this week, fans became concerned about the N-Dubz star when she removed all traces of her time on the show from her social media accounts.

The rumour mill claimed that Tulisa and her friend, Michelle fell out about the way Michelle had been running the star's Instagram when she was in the jungle - but it appears this is untrue.

Tulisa also failed to appear on the spin off show Unpacked, and it was later confirmed that she wouldn't be in attendance for the final, as she had already flown back to the UK from Australia.

Tulisa's spokesperson told The Sun: “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.”

Tulisa also shared her own statement, explaining in a video: "Hey guys, I'm just doing a little video to clear a few things up. When I first came out of the jungle, I felt fine first of all and then that evening, my friends went to bed and I was on my Instagram, just trying to have a casual 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 bit of 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 take a little bit of time for me and just chill. This is all just feeling a bit much at the moment.

"I'm just going to archive all my stuff to do with the jungle and then, when the time is right and I've had time to process, I'm going to make my own reels of my best bits that I really like.

"Because remember, I haven't been doing my Instagrams. The way it's being posted and all the random stuff is not how I would do my Insta - I would have one or two really good reels relating to the jungle and bringing my time together there.

"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 been out of the spotlight for a long time and I'm still trying to overcome those things, I've got my demons.

"It doesn't mean I'm going to hide behind a rock for another ten years it just means I need a little bit of time to process it and get right with my thoughts.

"Thank you to ITV and I'm A Celeb for being really understanding. Mental health is really important and I am super grateful for the love and support that I've had."
