Before voting opened for tonight’s Bushtucker trial, show hosts Ant and Dec announced that Tulisa, 36, and Reverend Coles, 62, would be exempt from the trial without further explanation.
Fans were left speculating as to why, even as the Geordie duo told the camp, Dean McCullough, 32, was set to face trial once again.
After the Geordie duo announced that Dean would face trial once again and moments before the credits, Tulisa could be heard in the background explaining to her campmates: “I know it’s the heights because that’s what I’m medically exempt from.”
Before entering the jungle, Reverend Richard Coles told MailOnline: ‘In fact, the other day I froze with fear on a stepladder on the second rung.
‘Anything up high. So anything that means walking off a horrible, rickety tightrope or something, it’s going to be scary.”

The former Church of England vicar is likely to have been exempt due to his crippling fear of heights, but it is unclear whether he has been diagnosed with acrophobia.
Meanwhile, viewers were quick to point out on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the former .
Tulisa has suffered from Bell’s palsy, which is sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, and it can reportedly be dangerous to climb heights in case another attack occurs.
One person wrote: “She wasn’t in control when she jumped out of a plane, she was attached to someone.”
‘If her face turned red because of her Bell’s palsy, she had someone to help her.
“In a trial, if I had a sudden attack at a height, it would not be safe to continue the trial.”
People who have Bell’s palsy reportedly don’t know what their face is going to do in the next two hours, and although symptoms vary from person to person, it appears that Tulisa has a severe case of the condition, having previously It took seven months to heal.
She told Olivia Attwood’s podcast, So Wrong It’s Right, “When I was about 24, I had my first attack of Bell’s palsy.

“So I sat at home and had a big burst of swelling and it went down, but my whole face collapsed – mind you, everything.
“I couldn’t move it, my face stayed like that for seven months, I didn’t go out, I just hid in the house.”

‘So you’d be right if you put a little bit on that cheek to even out the swelling on that cheek, and then if you put a little bit here, lift this up so my lip isn’t down there.’
“You can imagine the vicious cycle.”
But then Tulisa noticed a ‘mild swelling’ that started to occur on the same cheek that ‘started to get worse’ and I had ‘tingling sensations like ants crawling across my face.’
The former Church of England vicar is likely to have been exempt due to his crippling fear of heights, but it is unclear whether he has been diagnosed with acrophobia.
She revealed: “It was scary, and then what happened was because I had slight swelling, so I dissolved all the filler and evened out the swelling by putting filler on the other side.”
‘So you have this swollen side and this side is a filler to even out the swelling.
‘This kept increasing until this year, so even when I was doing the N-Dubz run, I was at its worst, I constantly felt like my cheeks were burning.
“I had good days and bad days and some days I was also on steroids that took it down, so you can watch one interview and I look normal and then you watch another interview and it’s like ‘What the hell is going on?’ with his face.”
