Mayhem in camp as Tulisa nearly ruins dinner…
When Tulisa knocks over a pot of beans onto the jungle floor, there is havoc at camp.
Declaring the three-second rule, Jane came over to help pick them up, and said: “It’s just a bit of dirt, it’s fine” as they scoop up the fallen beans.
Coleen and Tulisa take the role of rinsing the remaining beans, picking out twigs and grass.
Tulisa said: “This is really ghetto living guys!”
Coleen opens up about the Wagatha Christie trial
When asked whether she was scared to post her initial social media statement about her allegations against Rebekah Vardy, which spurred on the Wagatha Christie trial, Coleen answered: “No because I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining.”
She continued: “That was my worst nightmare to go to court. I felt like it was like putting on a show for the whole world.”
Colleen then admitted that she disliked how the trial “became a bit of a joke”.
“That’s really disappointing, it wasn’t a joke for me. No one knew the full story,” she said.
Jane tells all about her royal dispatches and meeting Princess Diana
Loose Woman star Jane Moore was speaking about her career highlights when she reflected on her time as a royal correspondent, following King Charles and the late Princess Diana around the world.
Jane explained how the photographers worked with Diana’s team to negotiate getting a glimpse at her, and recalled seeing Diana in a full-length leopard print swimsuit and matching sarong, playing in the sand with William and Harry.
Speaking about Diana, she added: “She was really good at having a relationship with the media… she played it very well”.
Tulisa reflects on her time in N-Dubz
When asked about her time in N-Dubz, Tulisa explained that aged 11, her uncle – Dappy’s dad – had said they should form a group together with Frazer, who was Dappy’s best friend at the time.
She explained: “My uncle offered me 20 quid and then I bartered him up to 50.”
Oti then asked what N-Dubz stands for, and Tulisa explained that the band is named after the postcode for North West London.
Tulisa explained that they formed the band when she was 11, but they were signed when she was 17 after years of graft in the studio.
