Now friends tell me Tulisa is looking to go it alone.
A source said: "Tulisa is a musician at heart and has been quietly working on new music.
"Being on I'm A Celebrity is the perfect way to reintroduce herself into public life and gives her a launch pad for new solo music.
"Tulisa has worked on a new track called Stronger, which was registered officially last month.
"It's a really powerful song about how she handled fame and fortune – and how difficult the world can be for women.
"Tulisa wants to give something back to her fans who have been by her side through all these eyes.
"She'll take on the jungle and then she'll get back to work on new music. She is so excited about what's to come."

Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody reckons U2 are the nicest blokes in musicCredit: GettyGary said: "U2 have been a big part of our lives.
"The first tour we did with them was 2005 on the Vertigo Tour and they were so kind. We'd just come off a tour supporting someone. It wasn't super-fun.
"The biggest band in the world treated us like we were part of the family. On the first day, every member of the band came over to say hello and welcomed us.
"It showed us, this is the way we've always wanted to do it. The biggest band in the world does it this way. It just showed us everything."
Gary says seeing U2 each night also made him and the rest of Snow Patrol improve their live performances and approach to concerts.
He added: "Bono has this capacity, or ability, to reach to the very back of every stadium, to hold everybody in his hand and make everyone feel like they're part of something really extraordinary.
"Not that I'm anywhere close to his abilities, but learning from him helped me an awful lot."
Wicked doll sex site slipSOMEONE in the Mattel marketing team is in for a rollicking after a blunder on the packaging of Ariana Grande's Wicked doll.
We revealed the film's bosses were planning to flood the market with merchandise to make Ariana and Cynthia Erivo's film bigger than Barbie.

Stunned customers have found a website on the back of Ariana Grande's Wicked doll leads people to a porn siteCredit: MattelBut stunned fans have found the website on the back of packaging leads people to a porn site – which certainly has nothing to do with Wicked!
Over the summer, Ariana and Cynthia were showing off their plastic doppelgangers and looked thrilled at what Mattel had come up with.
But when they see what is being promoted on the website, I'm not sure they'll be too happy.
I can imagine some flustered phone calls were made last night when the error was posted on social media.
Don't click the link, guys. It'll put you off your breakfast.
