Tulisa Contostavlos told camp mates she needs an emotional bond to feel sexually attracted to others <\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa Contostavlos has told her campmates she’s demisexual and has abstained from sex for more than three years.<\/p>\n

The N-Dubz singer and former X-Factor judge explained she needs “to have a really close emotional bond with someone” before she finds them sexually attractive.<\/p>\n

“For me, it’s all about the connection and the emotions that I feel with someone and then wanting to express them in that way,” she said, speaking on Tuesday’s episode of the ITV show. <\/p>\n

Her description of herself as demisexual got a lot of viewers wondering what the term “demisexual” means.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It’s a word used to describe people who only develop a sexual attraction to others after forming a deep bond based on their personality, rather than feeling an instant connection. <\/p>\n

They may not fancy someone based on things like the way they look, smell or sound. <\/p>\n

Tulisa told her campmates she’s “not an overly sexualised person”.<\/p>\n

“I need actual depth… I’m a slow, slow burner,” she said.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old from London said she had a profile on exclusive dating app Raya but the thought of dating “genuinely makes me feel physically sick”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tulisa started in the music industry as one third of N-Dubz, alongside Dappy and Fazer<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Tulisa first shot to fame as part of N-Dubz in the 2000s before going solo with tracks including Young and Sight of You.<\/p>\n

After she entered the Australian jungle on Sunday, broadcaster Rylan Clark, who met Tulisa when she was a judge on X-Factor, urged viewers not to comment on her appearance.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking to podcaster and former Love Islander Olivia Atwood, Tulisa discussed having surgery and fillers after she was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. <\/p>\n

Bell’s palsy is a type of paralysis that temporarily affects the ability to control the facial muscles.<\/p>\n

Tulisa told Olivia’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast the condition meant her “whole face dropped” so she started getting treatments to “balance out the symmetry” of her face. <\/p>\n

She’s in the Australian jungle alongside Coleen Rooney, content creator GK Barry and McFly’s Danny Jones as well as Radio 1 DJs Melvin Odoom and Dean McCullough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
