Tulisa opened up about her traumatising past as she broke her silence following her I'm A Celebrity stint. The singer, 36, raised eyebrows this month when she fled Australia before the show's final, retreating from the public eye after becoming the third celeb to be voted out of the jungle.

Speaking to The Guardian about her decision to leave, she explained: 'I came out, still followed by cameras, all t**s and teeth, and it wasn't until I was on my own that I felt this introvert-overload. I was hyperventilating, crying. It was too much.'.

She added that she wasn't sure if the 'fear' came from being in the spotlight or whether she no longer wanted fame. It's understandable that Tulisa is wary of being in the public eye, having been involved in several scandals - including a drug sting by The Sun's notorious Fake Sheikh.

Yet she revealed that it was the sex tape her ex Justin Edwards posted of her in 2012 that traumatised her the most. She later sued him for leaking the footage and settled in court. Tulisa has revealed how sex tape ordeal led to her demisexuality, Bell's palsy left her depressed and I'm A Celeb left her hyperventilating as she broke silence after fleeing Australia.

The singer, 36, raised eyebrows this month when she fled Australia before the show's final, retreating from the public eye after becoming the third celeb to be voted out of the jungle. Tulisa said of her trauma: 'It's had the most long-term effects. It has really affected my love life and my intimacy... I feel so much shame surrounding it that my relationship to sex doesn't feel the same.'.
