Tulisa Contostavlos turned down the I’m A Celebrity final as she flew back to the UK a week early after becoming the third campmate to be eliminated from the show on Monday.
It is customary for the entire cast to be present at the show’s final to congratulate the final three contestants, but it can be confirmed that the NDubz star, 36, will not be there as he has returned home to Manchester.
It comes after the former X-Factor had a row at the hotel after she was kicked off the show with her best friends Michelle McKenna and her boyfriend Daniel Johnson.
Tulisa let the couple know that she was unhappy with the way they handled her Instagram while they were in the jungle, considering their posts about her to be “inappropriate.”
A source told MailOnline: ‘They were only in Australia thanks to Tulisa. It felt like they were enjoying the situation and taking liberties with their kindness.
‘Michelle and Daniel were there, on a trip funded by ITV and only by Tulisa. They were there because of her and she trusted them with her social networks.

“When she came out of the jungle and saw what they had put there, she got upset and caused a big fight. You can’t help but think that seeing her friends living like this while she was struggling in the jungle must have really upset her.
“They were in a five-star hotel, with most of the expenses paid, so it all feels a little bad for Tulisa,” they added.
‘She is very upset. She was distraught to see what had been posted and 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 traces of her time in the jungle and did not attend any of her scheduled appearances with ITV.
While the show’s sources insist there is “no bad blood” between Tulisa and the network, neither she nor her friends have been seen since her interview with Lorraine on Tuesday morning.
The Ouch singer pulled out of I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked with Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers and Sam Thompson the day after being evicted, citing “personal reasons”.
Tulisa was visibly shocked when it was announced that she was the third star to be eliminated from the show and burst into the Marriott Hotel where her friends, with whom she would later have a ‘screaming’ match, were waiting.

It comes after the former X-Factor had a row at the hotel after she was kicked off the show with her best friends Michelle McKenna (pictured) and her boyfriend Daniel Johnson.
The I’m A Celeb final takes place on Sunday night and evicted campmates are expected to attend.
MailOnline can also reveal that Tulisa also fell 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 was probably the one who met her from the bridge – but they had a row not long before she headed into the jungle.
“They were so close.”
The pair met when Gareth was a backing dancer on NDubz’s Uncle B tour in 2009 and quickly formed 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 photos for her to helping her organize her diary.
But after 15 years of an “inseparable” and enduring friendship, Gareth and Tulisa fell out.
Instead, Tulisa was welcomed to the I’m A Celebrity bridge on Monday night by her childhood best friend Michelle.
