The intrigue surrounding Tulisa Contostavlos is growing, as reports suggest she is choosing not to participate in the show and wasn't seen on the I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked couch today.
The announcement that the N-Dubz member did not show up for the spin-off program came just a few hours after she removed all her Instagram content related to her experiences in the ITV jungle.
During Tuesday's Unpacked event, Joel Dommett informed the audience, "Tulisa isn't able to join us on the sofa this evening, but we have the former Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott, here to share her insights from the Jungle."
According to MailOnline, Tulisa, who is 36 years old, withdrew from the TV show, mentioning 'personal reasons.' Now, everyone is watching Brisbane airport to find out if she will indeed leave and head home early.
Celebrities who have been eliminated are expected to remain in Australia and continue their stay at the Marriott Hotel until the show wraps up this Sunday. However, it seems that the N-Dubz star has chosen to step back from her responsibilities after being voted out on Monday evening.
Sources indicate that Tulisa is thought to still be at the hotel where her fellow contestants who were also eliminated are staying.

Typically, celebrities make an appearance on the after-show hosted by Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson, and Kemi Rodgers the day following their departure from the Jungle. However, Tulisa has not made an appearance.
This follows her unexpected decision to erase all her Instagram posts related to her experience in the Jungle, especially after she appeared genuinely shocked to be the third contestant eliminated from the show.
She mentioned to hosts Ant and Dec that it was tough inside, but she was looking forward to enjoying some wine and pizza. She also confessed that she had brought her PlayStation along for the journey.
She made an appearance on Lorraine on Tuesday morning while being in Australia, but there's speculation that she's heading back home.
Tulisa wiped all evidence of her participation in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! from her social media profiles, just one day after being eliminated from the Jungle.
She became the third contestant to be eliminated on Monday night, but she quickly removed all traces of the ITV series from her social media after receiving her phone back.
The posts that have since disappeared featured her announcement for the show last month and updates about her time in Australia, which were shared by the person managing her account during her absence.
Observant fans noticed that she doesn’t follow Barry McGuigan on Instagram, making him the only person from her camp who she isn’t connected with online.

MailOnline has reached out to ITV for a statement.
This follows her appearance on Lorraine on Tuesday morning, where she discussed how her fellow cast members acted for the cameras. She also shared who her favorite campmate is, amidst speculation about a possible romance with Alan Halsall from Coronation Street.
In an interview following her departure, Tulisa expressed her desire for Oti Mabuse, the former professional from Strictly Come Dancing, to be the next Queen of the Jungle.
"I'm not sure who will come out on top, but I would really love to see Oti take the victory," she shared, expressing her fondness for her other friendships in the jungle. "Oti, Alan, Melvin, Maura - they felt like my true family while we were there."
Although she mentioned that she had discovered enduring friendships, Tulisa acknowledged that the true challenge begins once you're outside.
She mentioned, "You know, when the cameras are around, everyone acts friendly and close. But the real question is, will you actually send those text messages? Will you make that four-hour trip? That's when we’ll really see how strong the friendships are, either now or a week from now."
Talking about her affection for dancer Oti, Tulisa shared: "Oti is truly one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. It's rare to find someone so authentic and so genuine; I just adore her."
"She is truly genuine at heart, and people like her are extremely rare. She's something really special."
Tulisa referred to Alan as one of her closest friends in the jungle, despite speculation about a possible romantic relationship between them.
Speculation started to circulate as soon as Tulisa made her entrance into the jungle. She arrived by helicopter and chose Alan to take on the season's inaugural challenge.
Observant fans also noticed that she doesn't follow Barry McGuigan on Instagram, making him the only campmate she's not connected with online.
Barry and Tulisa are spotted together on the show.
During her appearance on Lorraine Tuesday morning, she shared stories about how her fellow cast members were very enthusiastic in front of the cameras while at the camp.
Alan and Tulisa have shown that they make an unbeatable pair by winning the race. This victory allowed them to spend the night together in the hideout as the camp leaders.
The two of them enjoyed a few days of privacy, resting comfortably not far from where their friends were camping.
Tulisa's close friend suggested there might be a romantic connection between them, expressing her desire to discover true love after the singer revealed on the program that she hasn't been intimate for three years.
The vocalist, who many expected to advance far in this year's contest, was unexpectedly eliminated, surprising fans and analysts alike, especially when compared to frontrunners like Barry McGuigan, Alan Halsall, and Melvin Odoom.
Emerging from the jungle to meet hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, she admitted, "I won’t sugarcoat it; it’s hard in there."
When asked what she discovered about herself while participating in the show, she replied, "I'm not sure, but I think it's important to hold firm to your beliefs and stay true to yourself."
Although Tulisa ended up in the bottom two alongside Oti Mabuse, she maintained that the professional dancer is still her favorite to win.
"She's one of the most stunning individuals I've encountered in my life," she expressed. "She truly feels like my soul sister."
After being eliminated, the star appeared on the spin-off program I'm A Celeb Unpacked, where she talked about her experience in the competition and shared her thoughts on the terrifying Fright Bus challenge.
She shared, "I realized after taking the night bus that they figured out I was someone who screams easily. At one point, I had seven huntsman spiders crawling on me."
She mentioned that there were moments when she forgot she was on television. She went on to say, "I believe I was truly being myself; I simply acted naturally and felt totally at ease by the end."
"I completely lost track of the fact that I was participating in a television program."
In an interview with Lorraine on Monday following her departure, Tulisa expressed her desire for Oti Mabuse, the former Strictly Come Dancing dancer, to take the title of the next Queen of the Jungle.
"I'm not sure who will come out on top, but I really hope Oti wins," she mentioned, while expressing her excitement about her other friendships formed in the jungle.
The singer hinted that N-Dubz will be returning for a new tour soon, admitting that she doesn’t like the sound of her own voice.
Tulisa was caught singing multiple times while in the camp, but she confessed, "Oh no, you heard me sing! I really dislike my voice! However, we're planning to return with a new tour very soon."
During her time in the camp, Tulisa and Reverend Richard Coles faced the Bushtucker Trials, where they found themselves in tears after sampling dishes that some described as tasting like "a volcano of death" in the Jungle TV Dinners challenge on Saturday.
The dishes featured amusing titles like 'Love Island', 'Britain's Got Talent', 'Peaky Blinders', 'Made in Chelsea', and 'Line of Duty' on the menu during the dreadful challenge.
The rapper was left in tears as Rev Richard referred to a meal as 'a taste of death followed by an eruption of death in your mouth'.
Although Tulisa handled her eviction gracefully, her loyal fans were not pleased with the news. They quickly expressed their discontent on the social media platform X, which used to be known as Twitter, right after her name was revealed.
In a flurry of angry tweets, viewers criticized the show, with some alleging that ITV producers had planned her departure to give others a better shot at winning.
"This is not fair at all... Our Tulisa shows more courage than the Marines! I am really upset about this!" one person expressed angrily. "She was the one who truly deserved to win among everyone there; it's just so harsh."
Another person commented, "What's going on with the public? Tulisa deserves to be included."
Tulisa referred to Alan as one of her best friends in the jungle, despite speculation about a possible romantic connection between them.
In another comment, someone expressed, "Tulisa is my favorite. She’s not focused on getting attention on screen; she’s determined to shift the harsh media story that has been prevalent for years."
It's appalling how people criticize her appearance without making any effort to comprehend her struggles.
Another person exclaimed in disbelief, "We lost Tulisa already at this early stage?!"
In the meantime, another supporter commented, "I can't accept that she received fewer votes than Melvin."
