She wrote: “Looking back at some of my favorite moments from the @Imacelebrity jungle. It’s been a whirlwind.
“Thank you @itv for the experience and sending so much love to my Jungle Fam before the final tonight. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you all.”
After deleting all trace of her time in the jungle from her social media following her exit last Sunday, Tulisa accompanied the post with a series of pictures from her stint on the ITV show.
And her campmate Dean McCullough was quick to show his support.
Dean commented, “We love you. You are with us in spirit my love and I can’t wait to see you when we get home xxxx”
Several fans also shared their well wishes.
One wrote: “You were so amazing inside but it was hard for you too. Do what you have to do for yourself, you have no explanation for anyone. Take care.”
Another added: “You were absolutely amazing, so inspiring.”
Tulisa returned to her flat in Manchester last night after returning to the country via the airport’s private terminal to avoid paperwork.
It has been a concern since the third out of the jungle.

She backed out of a planned appearance on spin-off show Unpacked and later deleted all images of her time on the show from her social media.
She then took to her Instagram to clear up the confusion, admitting she was “overwhelmed” after ten years out of the spotlight and needed time to readjust.
She said: “I just started feeling overwhelmed. I thought, you know what, I really just need to take some time for myself and just relax.”
She added: “You know, it’s okay to feel a little overwhelmed. I’ve been out of the spotlight for a long time.

“I’m still trying to get over those things. I still have my little demons.”
Rumors swirled that she had also fallen out with her best friends Michelle McKenna and Daniel Johnson, prompting her to return home early.
But the N-Dubz singer quickly refuted those speculations.
She took to Instagram and wrote: “I haven’t had a fight with my best friend in over 10 years.
“We literally don’t have fights, they don’t exist in our world. Only love.”
I am a celebrity in 2024
I’m a Celebrity returns for its 24th series, featuring a group of famous faces living in the Australian jungle. The Sun’s Jake Penkethman took a look at the stars on this year’s show..
Coleen Rooney – probably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, famous for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, has made a big return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four has landed a deal worth more than £1.5m to be on the show this year, making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa – pop star and former X Factor judge has made a triumphant return to TV by signing up for this year’s I’m A Celeb after years of avoiding TV shows. Famous for being a member of trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV’s The X Factor in a multi-million dollar deal.
Alan Halsall – The actor, known for his long-running role as Tyrone Dobbs in ITV’s Coronation Street, was originally signed to host Down Under last year, but surgery knocked out his planned appearance. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both viewers and his fellow celebrities.
Melvin Odoom – Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after making a name for himself with leading roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already rocked the Strictly dancefloor and hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015, but now he faces his biggest challenge yet – the Australian jungle.
GK Barry – Britain’s biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has turned her TikTok fame into a lucrative career. In addition to her popular social media channels, she hosts a weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and appears regularly on ITV’s talk show, Loose Women. It even advertises popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.
Dean McCullough – A rising star among this year’s celebrity crowd, Dean first came to notice with his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was selected to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has been featured ever since. He has enjoyed a move to ITV over the past year thanks to a guest appearance on Big Brother spin-off show Late & Live.
Oti Mabuse – professional dancer has signed up for her latest TV show after working her way through the biggest programs on the box. She originally shot to fame on Strictly Come Dancing, but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer, as well as her current role on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
Danny Jones – The McFly star was added to the program at the last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he is now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, alongside bandmate Tom Fletcher.
Jane Moore – Star of The Loose Women and columnist for The Sun is bravely fighting the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge – she recently separated from her husband. It will be Jane’s first foray into reality TV with the TV darling who has always said no to reality shows in the past.
Barry McGuigan – Former professional boxer Barry is the latest fighting champion to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a difficult few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danica to bowel cancer. He told The Late Late Show in 2021: “She was such an integral part of the family that it hurts every day.”
Maura Higgins – The Irish TV beauty first shot to fame on Love Island where she had a brief fling with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then she has competed in Dancing on Ice, as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty pageant, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been building her career in the US by being a social media correspondent and host of Love Island USA’s Aftersun show. She even guest starred in an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, last year instead of Maya Jama.
Reverend Richard Coles – Former BBC radio presenter Reverend Richard Coles is late for I’m A Celebrity and is ready to spill the beans about his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star said the BBC didn’t know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: “Rev Coles will have a variety of stories to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, to his appearances on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.”
She added: “Same with my brother. That’s what makes us so strong and my soul is so special to me.
“But leave my Shelly and Dana alone, please.”
The Sun later revealed that all three had flown home from Australia together.
Tonight, the remaining three jungle stars battle it out for the crown.
Oti Mabuse was eliminated in the penultimate show on Saturday night, leaving Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones and Richard Coles in the final.
I’m a celebrity…Get me out of here! ends tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
