ITV celebrity N-Dubz, Tulisa Contostavlos, has opened up about her love life during her time on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! She has been praised for being ‘real’ after she opened up about her relationship status.
The ITV shows were back on the TV screen on Tuesday night for the third instalment of the 2024 series.
Most celebrities settled into camps and started having honest conversations with each other.
Relationships and sexuality were recurring themes, with GK Barry discussing how she came out to her parents, while Collen Rooney revealed what her relationship with footballer Wayne was like.
Singer N-Dubz Tulisa honestly got fans ’emotional’ during a chat with Radio1 DJ Dean McCullough and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall about being Single and gave an insight into her dating life.
During her discussion, Tulisa shared her limited experience with dating apps. She said, “No, I’ve only done Raya.
I’m not a dater; even though I’ve been on there, I’ve never gone on an actual date with anyone on there…I’m properly guarded.”I feel like I’m demisexual; I need to have a close emotional bond with someone.”
She also said, “I’m a slow, slow burner; I’ve been celibate for over three years.” When Dean asked her about her feeling of being celibate, she said, “I’m not an overly sexualized person.
For me, It’s all about the connection and the emotions that I feel with someone and then wanting to express them in that way.”
Fans praise Tulisa for being so real and “down to earth”. One of her fans, @willowstation19, said: “Tulisa openly talking about being demisexual on I’m a Celeb tonight was so refreshing!!! Literally never seen it being talked about in mainstream media before!!!
