Tulisa Contostavlos has been spotted for the first time since her early departure from Australia, having missed the I’m A Celebrity final last night.
It’s a tradition for the show’s stars to reunite for the final, to witness a co-star crowned. However, after being the third voted off, the N-Dubz singer chose not to remain in Australia with her co-stars and instead caught a flight back to England.
She was seen driving her car, maintaining a low profile while her co-stars partied at the ITV wrap-party. The 36-year-old wore a hat and mask as she concentrated on the road reports the Mirror.
Keen to avoid being photographed at Manchester airport, she used a private terminal to evade the paparazzi. Since then, she has remained silent on social media and refrained from interacting with fans or her Jungle co-stars.
Photos obtained by the MailOnline show Tulisa in her car as she re-enters normal life following her stint on the show. Fans were concerned when she deleted all her Instagram posts from her time in camp and declined to appear on ITV spin-off series Unpacked to discuss her jungle experience.
Over the weekend, the star broke her silence, describing the past few days as a ‘whirlwind’ and apologising for missing the celebrations with her fellow cast members.
Tulisa reflected on her time in the @Imacelebrity jungle with fondness, posting: “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.”

Maura Higgins chimed in saying: “Miss you wanna squeeze you love you.”
