Tulisa Contostavlos has snubbed the I’m A Celebrity final as she has flown back to the UK a week early after becoming the third campmate to be voted off the show on Monday.
It’s custom for all the cast to be present at the show’s final to congratulate the final three contestants but it can be confirmed the NDubz star, 36, will not be there as she has returned home to Manchester.
It comes after the former X-Factor had a bust-up in the hotel after she was evicted from the show with her best friends, Michelle McKenna and her boyfriend, Daniel Johnson.
Tulisa made it known to the couple she was not happy with the way they ran her Instagram while in the Jungle, deeming their posts about her to be ‘inappropriate’.
A source told MailOnline: ‘They were only in Australia because of Tulisa. It felt like they were revelling in the situation and taking liberties with her kindness.
‘Michelle and Daniel were there, on a trip funded by ITV and only because of Tulisa. They were there because of her and she trusted them with her social media.

‘When she got out of the jungle and saw what had been put on there, she was upset and it prompted a huge row. You can’t help but think that seeing her friends living it up like that while she was roughing it in the jungle must have really annoyed her.
‘They were in a five-star hotel, with most expenses paid, so it does all feel a little bit rotten for Tulisa,’ they added.
‘She is so upset. She was distraught to see what had been posted and she wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible.’
Not ‘the kind of content’ she wanted on her professional account, the I Need You singer furiously deleted all trace of her time in the Jungle and has not attended any of her scheduled appearances with ITV.
While show sources insist there is ‘no bad blood’ between Tulisa and the network, neither she nor her friends have been seen since her Lorraine interview on Tuesday morning.
The Ouch singer pulled out of joining I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked with Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers and Sam Thompson the day after she was evicted, citing ‘personal reasons’.
Tulisa was visibly shocked when it was announced she was the third star to be voted off the show and stormed into the Marriott Hotel where her friends were waiting, who she would later have a ‘screaming’ match with.

MailOnline can also reveal that Tulisa has also fallen out with her best friend and personal assistant of 15 years, Gareth Varey.
A source said: ‘Tulisa and Gareth have been inseparable for years, he would most certainly been the one to meet her from the bridge but they had a fall out not long before she went into the jungle.
‘They were so close.’
The pair met when Gareth was a backup dancer on NDubz’s 2009 Uncle B tour and they quickly struck up a close bond becoming ‘like brother and sister’ and even living together.
Sources close to Gareth say he would do ‘everything’ for Tulisa, from setting up paparazzi pictures for her to helping her organise her diary.
But after 15 years of an ‘inseparable’ and long-lasting friendship, Gareth and Tulisa have fallen out.
Tulisa was instead met off the I’m A Celebrity bridge on Monday night by her childhood best friend Michelle.
