Tulisa’s best friend touches down in Australia to support the N-Dubz star while Jane Moore’s two daughters make their arrival ahead of first I’m A Celeb eviction

Tulisa Contostavlos has chosen her best friend Michelle McKenna and Michelle’s partner Danielle Johnson to greet her from the I’m A Celebrity bridge and the pair have arrived at Brisbane Airport.

Michelle and her partner landed in Australia at the same time as Loose Women star Jane Moore’s two daughters.

Jane’s daughters Ellie and Grace touched down ahead of their mother’s first Bushtucker trial on Tuesday night’s show.

Ellie, 32, and Grace, 20, will greet the TV star and columnist as she crosses the bridge as the first voting results emerge.

The journalist wasn’t afraid to speak her mind as she called her campmate Barry McGuigan, 63, ‘ageist’ and ‘misogynistic’ after being handed the dirty dishes.

In Jane’s Bushtucker Trial, the host and Maura Higgins will put their communication skills to the test as they attempt to navigate a complex series of pipelines full of creepy crawlies.

Jane’s daughters confirmed to MailOnline that she ‘hates’ washing the dishes and doesn’t do them at home during a row with Barry over camp chores in which she called him ‘ageist’ and ‘misogynistic’.

Ellie said: “I think emotions are running high. I think they’re all probably quite hungry, but she’s doing fantastic, we’re all very proud of her.”

Grace added: ‘It’s been great to see her go into full mum mode, I feel like she and GK Barry are amazing, we love seeing them together.

‘When my mother immediately went for the GK during the first test, we said ‘yes, yes’.’

Ellie continued: “I personally love that people see my mother as very strong, which she is. She has very strong opinions, but she is also very caring and nurturing. So it’s nice that people see both sides of her.’

Meanwhile, Tulisa’s close friend Michelle was on Lorraine last week urging people to ‘be kind’ to the N-Dubz star, 36, over the cosmetic surgery she had to improve the appearance of her Bell’s Palsy in to bring balance.

Revealing why she thinks Tulisa decided to go into the jungle, Michelle said: ‘Years ago she would have been terrified of the public reaction to her.

“She’s like a big sister and I think that will keep her going. To be a mother-like figure to her campmates.

“Not many people get to see that side of her, that softer side. I’m so happy that people get to see that mother side.’

The couple will stay at the Marriott on Australia’s Gold Coast. Tulisa said of their trip: ‘They get a wonderful holiday, and I have to suffer and deal with the crazy things.’

N-Dubz fans will be disappointed to see Tulisa’s bandmates Dappy and Fazer not greeting her from the bridge, but Tulisa told MailOnline: ‘I didn’t tell Dappy and until the last minute because Dappy couldn’t have stopped it .

“He would have told everyone, of course, out of excitement and joy, but I can tell you: Dappy is so excited that I’m going in there.

‘He’s absolutely bubbly and Fazer is just quite relaxed, I don’t think he even watches the show that much.

“He says, ‘What are you doing that for?’ Why are you going in there? Why do you want to get covered in bugs?’ I’m like, oh, it doesn’t matter. But Dappy is absolutely bubbly.”
