Tulisa Contostavlos is reportedly in talks to appear on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Ten years after she was a judge on The X Factor, the singer is set to make her TV comeback in the jungle.
A source told the UK Sun: “Tulisa has been on ITV’s hit list for a while but until now she’s never wanted to consider it.”
“This year is a decade since she left The X Factor so she felt the time was right to return to the TV spotlight — the amazing reception to the N-Dubz reunion tour really helped build her confidence.
“Crucially for ITV, the breadth of her career means that she will appeal to I’m a Celebrity’s wide audience.
“As well as everyone knowing her from The X Factor, her original music fanbase has boomed thanks to the N-Dubz reunion tour.
“TV bosses are particularly excited by the new wealth of fans in the crucial 16 to 24 age range who have discovered Tulisa and the band through TikTok and everyone hopes the deal is signed soon,” they added.

A spokesman for I’m A Celeb said: “Any names suggested for I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here are speculation.”
Tulisa shot to fame as a member of N-Dubz in 2008 alongside her cousin Dappy and his pal Fazer.
The trio went on to sell 1.3million albums, before they split in 2011 to pursue solo projects.
That same year, Tulisa received a huge boost when Simon Cowell recruited her to replace Cheryl Cole as a judge for the eighth series of The X Factor.
The singer was just 23 at the time, making her the youngest ever judge on the panel alongside Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger.
In her first year on the show, Tulisa mentored the Groups category, and went on to win the series with girlband Little Mix.
Tulisa ended up leaving the show after two years, and largely remained out of the spotlight until May 2022 – when N-Dubz reunited.
11 years after they parted ways, the group reformed for a sell-out UK arena tour.
The following year, the trio released their fourth studio album Timeless.
