N-Dubz's Fazer lifts the lid on Tulisa's I'm A Celeb stint: Singer's ex reveals how star is doing after she snubbed show final as he defends her from trolls and reveals why he would NEVER follow her into the Jungle

N-Dubz star Fazer has revealed how his bandmate Tulisa is faring after she competed on I'm A Celebrity. 

Mystery has surrounded Tulisa in recent weeks after she snubbed the show's final and jetted back to the United Kingdom - admitting she was 'overwhelmed' at being thrust back into the spotlight. 

Tulisa, 36, was the third star voted out of the Jungle and while those who leave early are expected to stay in Australia and watch the King or Queen be crowned, she instead deleted all traces of her time on I'm A Celebrity from her social media and returned home. 

There were suggestions that she had fallen out with friends that she had put in charge of her social media, which she denied, and insiders later claimed that she left Australia over struggles with her mental health. 

Yet revealing he has spoken to her since she returned home, Fazer, 37, told MailOnline: 'She's good. 

'She's happy, she's happy to be home. She's getting ready for Christmas, ordering her turkey and stuff so all good.' 

Revealing he was cheering on Tulisa from the comfort of his living room, he shared: 'We watched it until she got kicked out and then I stopped watching! 

'There was no need for me to be watching this anymore. Now my band member's not in it anymore it's not gonna interest me as much!' 

He did admit, however, he was the first to vote for her to do the dreaded Bushtucker Trials, sharing: 'Of course, I did! She probably would have done the same for me!' 

Yet he couldn't be prouder of her Jungle stint, as he explains. 

'I think she held herself well and she came across really genuine, which was really nice to see because I feel like the public managed to see that as well.

'They saw her as her authentic self, not a perception of what they may have had in their heads.' 

When she first entered the Jungle, Tulisa came under fire from cruel trolls who commented on her change in appearance. 

Unbeknown to some of them of the time, Tulisa suffers from Bell's Palsy, a neurological disorder that causes temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face.

Hitting back at the trolls, Fazer revealed he has nothing but respect for her opening up about her condition. 

'People are always gonna say something,' he mused. 'People that haven't had something like that wouldn't understand anyway.

'All credit to her for speaking about it and giving her truth. I respect that.' 

When it comes to being trolled himself, Fazer pays no attention to any outside noise.  

'I just don't care what people think about me,' he explained. 'I just don't live my life like that. I don't go online and start reading through comments of what people are saying about me.

'I'll just get on with my life and if you like me, you like me. If you don't, then you don't.'

While Fazer enjoyed watching his bandmate in the Jungle, there was one story that didn't ring true for him. 

On the show, Tulisa was opening up to her campmates about origins of N-Dubz, when she stated that while Dappy originally wanted to be a solo star, but Uncle B, Dappy’s dad, said they should be in a group.

She said: 'My uncle offered me 20 quid and then I bartered him up to 50.'

Yet Fazer had a different versions of events, and recalled: 'Me and Dappy had already started making songs together in secondary school and we needed a singer.

'Dappy said my cousin sings so we tried to get her into the studio and she's like, "no, I don't wanna come to the studio. I wanna be a solo singer."

'And then Dappy's dad was like 50 quid says you don't wanna be a solo singer. So at least she got paid 50 quid to come to the first session and the rest is history!' 

During her time on the show, viewers also picked up on a potential romance blossoming between Tulisa and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall. 

Rumours began to swirl in the launch episode, which saw Tulisa jump out of a helicopter and pick Alan to complete the first challenge of the series.

Proving they were the dream team, Alan and Tulisa won the race which meant they could sleep in the hideout together as camp leaders.

For more than three days the duo spent some alone time and slept in luxury, a short distance away from their camp mates.

Tulisa's best friend also hinted at a romance between the pair, admitting she'd 'love to find the one' after the singer claimed on the show she's been celibate for three years.

Yet Fazer seemed nonplussed when quized about whether there could be a relationship on the card between them. 

Fazer - who dated Tulisa from mid-2010 to February 2012 - mused: 'Potentially? Maybe? Who knows!' 

When it was suggest that he could be the matchmaker, Fazer simply chuckled. 

One thing Fazer did make certain, however, is that despite enjoying watching Tulisa's stint on the Jungle, it's not a path he'd pick for himself.  

'I'm from London,' he laughs. 'I don't like spiders or creepy crawlies. I'm not for eating any of these weird things.

'I saw Melvin and Oti put in those helmets and they threw these massive spiders in and even just watching it set me off. I was like, no, no, no, no! 

'I think the only show I would do is with Bear Grylls because it's a bit more gritty and reality driven.

'Man against nature, that's what I'm all about. I love fishing, I love camping, I love making fires. I love cooking and hunting and all of that sort of stuff.'
