The third contestant has been eliminated from I’m a Celebrity 2024, with Tulisa Contostavlos sent home after a viewer vote.

Days after Jane Moore and Dean McCullough became the first stars to leave the jungle, it was revealed that the N-Dubz star and formerX Factor judge would be following close behind.

On Monday (2 December), hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returned to camp to inform the contestants that Tulisa and Oti Mabuse were in the bottom two – an announcement that appeared to surprise their campmates.

It was then revealed that Tulisa would be the third celebrity to leave the jungle.

In her post-exit interview, the singer described her time on the show as a “whirlwind, adding that she “100 per cent” feels like a changed person as she feels “more appreciative of life”.

She also revealed the Bushtucker Trials were “as bad” as she was expecting them to be, but was complimentary of her fellow campmates.

Tulisa told Ant and Dec that she liked the fact the other celebrities featured on this year’s show “were mindful of each other’s emotions and what we were all going through”.

When asked who she wants to win the show, Tulisa picked former Strictly Come Dancing pro Mabuse, whose placement in the bottom two surprised viewers.

The remaining celebrities are expected to be voted out nightly until Sunday (8 December) after an unexpected reprieve occurred over the weekend.

Tulisa’s departure comes one day after Radio 1 star McCullough’s, who has since addressed Ant McPartlin’s “unprofessional” comments to him on the series.

During McCullough’s time on the show, McPartlin sternly called the contestant out for his poor effort in the many trial she was voted to do by the public.

Meanwhile in the latest episode, viewers were left “floored” by Donnelly’s hilarious quip about Reverend Richard Coles, who himself took a swipe at McCullough shortly after he was voted off the show.

New episodes of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.
