Addressing an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, Tulisa also clarified comments which appeared to suggest some of her campmates were “fake”.
“I don’t think any of my campmates are fake,” she says.
She says she was “thinking out loud” and had only meant to suggest some friendships would be stronger than others.
“I love my jungle buddies, I love my jungle fam.
“But friendships that people have really, really get nurtured and they become something that’s like, ‘wow this is a friend for life’.
“That’s all I was trying to say.”
Being in the jungle with people she had only just met, she says, had been difficult for her as “an introvert”.
“And then I come out and I’ve seen loads and loads of attention and I’m like, woah this is a lot.”
