Tulisa opens up about identifying as demisexual and reflects on how her traumatic past has shaped her personal life and relationships in the I’m A Celebrity jungle

Tulisa has been candid about her personal life, revealing that she’s been celibate for over three years while also coming out as demisexual.

In a revealing moment on Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity, the 36-year-old N-Dubz singer shared that she feels “physically sick” at the thought of being intimate with someone, explaining her lack of interest in dating.

The Struggles of Her Past

The conversation took a personal turn when Tulisa opened up about her past, particularly the infamous sex tape scandal that involved her ex-boyfriend, Justin Edwards.

The tape was released in 2012, despite their breakup in 2009, and it left Tulisa feeling humiliated and judged.

She described the experience as “virtual rape” and admitted it took her years to process and heal from the emotional toll.

Despite the intense public scrutiny, she expressed that she has no regrets and views the pain as part of her personal growth.

Tulisa’s Views on Relationships

During a conversation with fellow campmates, Tulisa described herself as “proper guarded” when it comes to relationships.

She explained that she has a deep emotional connection with the idea of intimacy, revealing that she identifies as demisexual—someone who only experiences sexual attraction after forming a strong emotional bond.

While the idea of dating might be off the table for her right now, Tulisa made it clear that her personal boundaries are a priority.

In contrast, campmate Dean McCullough joked about dating apps, but Tulisa clarified that she’s never actually gone on a date from one, including the exclusive Raya app.

She admitted that, for her, emotional depth is far more important than the casual nature of modern dating.

Tulisa Reflects on Her Legal Battle

Tulisa also revisited the legal struggles she faced after the sex tape was leaked.

At the time, revenge porn wasn’t illegal, and Justin Edwards faced minimal repercussions, despite the immense harm he caused.

Although Tulisa eventually settled her legal case, she made it clear that the incident had a lasting impact on her relationships and sense of trust.

She’s thankful for the eventual apology but remains deeply disturbed by how the law at the time failed to protect her.

Looking Ahead with Strength

Despite the trauma from the past, Tulisa seems determined to move forward, not with bitterness, but with strength.

She acknowledged how the experience has shaped who she is today, adding that there’s no regret, only growth.

The singer and former X Factor judge expressed that while her past still affects her, it won’t define her.

Her appearance on I’m A Celebrity continues to showcase a woman who is reclaiming her narrative and embracing a life on her own terms, with love, connection, and emotional bonds at the forefront.
