During a recent episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Tulisa Contostavlos bravely opened up about her sexuality. As the stars continue to bond in the Australian jungle, the conversation turned to romantic relationships while they sat around the campfire.
Tulisa, 36, revealed that she is only on one dating app, Raya, which is known for being highly exclusive and often used by celebrities. However, despite being on the app, she hasn't been very active on it.
"I'm not really a dater, even though I've been on there, I've never gone on an actual date with anyone on there... I'm proper guarded," she shared with her fellow single campmates Alan Halsall and Dean McCullough.
As they continued to chat, Tulisa explained that she identifies as demisexual. "I feel like I'm demi-sexual, I need to have a really close emotional bond with someone. I need actual depth," she stated.
For those who may not be familiar, demisexuality is when a person only experiences sexual feelings and attraction after developing a close emotional relationship, rather than being based on physical characteristics or first impressions. This can apply to anyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
Tulisa then revealed that she has been celibate for over three years. When asked about what it's like being celibate, she replied, "I'm not an overly sexualized person. For me, it's all about the connection and the emotions that I feel with someone and then wanting to express them in that way."
She joked about the thought of going out and meeting someone just to sleep with them, saying it "genuinely makes me feel physically sick." Her campmates laughed along with her, with Alan even joking, "It sounds like a Bushtucker Trial where you've gotta find a key to Tulisa's temple!"
But while Tulisa may be focused on her journey in the jungle, her friend Michelle McKenna appeared on Lorraine and hinted at a potential romance between her and campmate Alan. "You never know!" she teased.
As we continue to watch Tulisa's journey on the show, let's take a look back at her past relationships. She was previously in a relationship with fellow N-Dubz member Fazer during their teenage years and as they found success with their band. Despite their breakup, they have remained friends and have even worked together on the band's comeback in 2022.
She also had a relationship with Justin Edwards, who caused her pain when a video of them being intimate was leaked online in 2012. While they had already split up at the time, the incident was still difficult for her to handle. However, Justin eventually apologized for his actions.
"It hit me like a train. I couldn't stop crying. It was like my whole world was ending," Tulisa wrote in her autobiography Honest, My Story So Far. "I would try to put the whole thing out of my mind, but it would creep back - it was pretty much all-consuming."
During a recent episode of the popular show I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, singer and former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos opened up about her sexuality. As the contestants get to know each other in the Australian jungle, the topic of romantic relationships came up around the campfire.
Tulisa, 36, revealed that she identifies as demisexual, meaning she experiences sexual attraction only after developing a close emotional bond with someone. She also shared that she has been celibate for over three years and is not an overly sexual person. Instead, she prioritizes the emotional connection with a partner before considering any physical intimacy.
The conversation was sparked by a discussion about dating apps, where Tulisa mentioned that the only one she is on is Raya, an exclusive app that requires a referral from two existing members. Despite being on the app, she revealed that she has never actually gone on a date with anyone from there and is quite guarded.
As the chat continued, Tulisa opened up more about her experience with demisexuality and how it affects her relationships. Her campmate Dean McCullough asked about her celibacy, to which Tulisa responded that she is not someone who is driven by physical desires. Instead, she values the emotional connection and only wants to express herself physically when she feels a deep emotional bond with someone.
The conversation ended with some lighthearted jokes from the other campmates, but Tulisa's friend Michelle McKenna later appeared on the show and hinted at a potential romantic connection between Tulisa and fellow contestant Alan Halsall. However, Tulisa and Alan are simply getting along as friends for now.
Looking back on her dating history, Tulisa's most notable relationship was with her N-Dubz bandmate Fazer. The two dated on and off throughout their teenage years and maintained a close friendship even after their breakup. They continue to work together, including on the band's comeback in 2022.
Tulisa also briefly dated rapper Justin Edwards, who caused her a lot of pain when a private video of them was shared online without her consent. Although they broke up in 2010, the video resurfaced in 2012 and Justin eventually apologized for his actions.
Despite the challenges she has faced in her dating life, Tulisa remains true to herself and is not afraid to open up about her experiences. She values emotional connections and is not driven by physical desires, making her a unique and inspiring individual.
