N-Dubz star Fazer has revealed how his bandmate Tulisa is doing after she took part in I’m A Celebrity.
Mystery has surrounded Tulisa in recent weeks after she turned down the show’s final and flew back to Britain, where she admitted she was ‘overwhelmed’ at being thrust back into the spotlight.
Tulisa, 36, was the third star to be voted out of the Jungle and although those who leave early are expected to stay in Australia and watch the king or queen be crowned, she instead has all the traces of her time on I’ m A Celebrity away from her. social media and returned home.
There were suggestions she had fallen out with friends she put in charge of her social media, which she denied, and insiders later claimed she had left Australia due to problems with her mental health.
But Fazer, 37, revealed he has spoken to her since she came home, telling MailOnline: ‘She’s doing well.
“She’s happy, she’s happy to be home. She’s getting ready for Christmas and ordering her turkey and stuff, so all good.”

Revealing that he was cheering on Tulisa from the comfort of his living room, he shared: “WI watched it until she got kicked out and then I stopped watching!
‘I didn’t have to watch this anymore. Now that my band member is no longer in it, I won’t be that interested anymore!’
However, he did admit that he was the first to vote for her to do the dreaded Bushtucker Trials, saying: ‘Of course I did! She probably would have done the same for me!’
Still, he couldn’t be more proud of her Jungle stint, as he explains.
‘I think she held herself well and came across as very sincere, which was really nice to see because I feel like the audience saw that too.
“They saw her as her authentic self, not as a perception of what they had in their heads.”
When she first entered the jungle, Tulisa was targeted by cruel trolls who commented on her change in appearance.
Unbeknownst to some of them at the time, Tulisa suffered from Bell’s Palsy, a neurological condition that causes temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face.
Fazer hit back at the trolls and revealed that he has nothing but respect for her opening up about her Bell’s Palsy, saying: ‘All credit to her for speaking out about it and coming out with the truth’

“People will always say something,” he mused. ‘People who haven’t had anything like that wouldn’t understand it anyway.
‘All credit to her for speaking up and telling her the truth. I respect that.’
When it comes to being deceived himself, Fazer pays no attention to any outside noise.
“I just don’t care what people think of me,” he explained. ‘I just don’t live my life that way. I don’t go online and start reading the comments of what people are saying about me.
‘I’m just going to get on with my life and if you like me, you like me. If you don’t do that, then you don’t do that.’
While Fazer enjoyed watching his bandmate in the Jungle, there was one story that didn’t add up for him.
During the show, Tulisa told her campmates about the origins of N-Dubz, when she said that although Dappy originally wanted to be a solo star, Uncle B, Dappy’s father, said they should be in a group.

She said: ‘My uncle offered me twenty pounds and then I traded it down to fifty pounds.’
Still, Fazer had different versions of events, recalling, “Me and Dappy had already started making songs together in high school and we needed a singer.
‘Dappy said my cousin sings, so we tried to get her into the studio and she said, “No, I don’t want to come to the studio. I want to be a solo singer.”
‘And then Dappy’s dad told £50 you don’t want to be a solo singer. So at least she got paid £50 to come to the first session and the rest is history!’
During her time on the show, viewers also noticed a potential romance between Tulisa and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall.
Rumors started circulating in the launch episode, where Tulisa jumped out of a helicopter and chose Alan to complete the series’ first challenge.
Alan and Tulisa proved they were the dream team and won the race, meaning they could sleep together in the shelter as camp leaders.
The duo spent some time alone for more than three days and slept in luxury, a short distance from their campmates.
Tulisa’s best friend also hinted at a romance between the pair, admitting she would ‘love to find it’ after the singer claimed on the show that she has been celibate for three years.
Still, Fazer seemed baffled when asked if a relationship between them could be on the cards.
Fazer – who dated Tulisa from mid-2010 to February 2012 – mused: ‘Potential? Maybe? Who knows!’
When it was suggested that he could be the matchmaker, Fazer simply chuckled.

However, Fazer did manage to say one thing: while he enjoys watching Tulisa’s sojourn in the Jungle, this is not a path he would choose for himself.
‘I’m from London,” he laughs. ‘I don’t like spiders and creepy crawlies. I’m not in favor of eating these weird things.
“I saw Melvin and Oti put those helmets on and they threw those huge spiders in there, and even just looking at it got me moving. I thought: no, no, no, no!
‘I think the only show I would do is with Bear Grylls because it’s a bit more gritty and realistic.
‘Man against nature, that’s what it’s all about for me. I like fishing, I like camping, I like building fires. I like cooking and hunting and all that stuff.”
