Chatting with her campmates on the show, Tulisa delved into the topic of relationships recently, explaining that she identifies as demisexual – a term that describes someone who only feels attracted to another person after experiencing close emotional bond with them.

“I need real depth… I’m a slow, slow burner, I’ve been celibate for over three years,” she reflected. “I’m not an overly sexualized person. For me, it’s about the connection and the feelings I feel with someone and then wanting to express them that way.”

Asked about dating, Tulisa said the idea “really makes me feel physically sick.”

As of 2024, Tulisa is enjoying the single life, but has previously been linked to her N-Dubz bandmate, Fazer, as well as multi-millionaire Costas Panayiotou and music producer, David King, Cher’s nephew.

Reacting to the singer’s comments on I’m A Celebrity, her ex-boyfriend and good friend Fazer told The sun that Tulisa had “always been” demisexual.

“She’s always been like a hermit crab that goes into its shell, you go too close to it, it goes back into its shell,” he explained. “Her whole life, every kind of relationship she’s been in has always been long-term for that person, it’s never been short-term.”

Tulisa and Fazer dated from 2010 to 2012 and kept their relationship largely private. While no longer together, the duo have remained good friends and continue to perform as N-Dubz.

After their breakup, Fazer began dating Ashley Emma Havelin, with whom he shares three children.

Tulisa has always been an open book and one of the subjects she has spoken about the most is her Bell’s palsy diagnosis. Before jetting off to Australia, the singer joined Olivia Attwood for an all-access chat, noting that she started getting injectables after a bout of ill health left her face inflamed and swollen.

“I hadn’t had surgery until, at the time of the confession, recently,” she said in October. “All the time before there was no surgery, it was just fillers.”

Tulisa went on to say that at 24 she had her first Bell’s palsy attack, recalling: “I had a massive burst of inflammation and it went down, but my whole face fell. I couldn’t move it, my face stayed like that for seven months, I didn’t go out, I just hid in the house.”

“It was very stressful and my face still wasn’t right, so I started getting fillers to balance the symmetry,” she added, calling it a “vicious cycle” of trying to fix her face.

Earlier this year, Tulisa’s doctor finally found three “chronically infected cysts” around her cheek during exploratory surgery, with “no idea” of the cause. She revealed that her doctor plans to operate in two months, adding that she currently only has fillers in her lips, but the inflammation is giving her a “plump look”.
