I’m A Celebrity star Tulisa explains why she will quit showbiz in next two years

Tulisa Contostavlos plans to quit the limelight in the next two years and will use the money she earns on I’m A Celebrity to put into a new property business.

The N Dubz singer and former X Factor star, 36, was expected to use her time in the jungle for a career comeback and has just landed in Australia to take part in the ITV show. But Tulisa insists these days she prefers the quiet life and hopes to be able to earn a living away from music and TV.

In comments likely to shock some fans, Tulisa said: “The music industry is wild, it is ridiculous. I’m through most of it. I’ll be out in two years from now. I’m going to property next year. I think I’ll always come back for N Dubz. But I think the person I’ve become, I’m a public figure that doesn’t really like being in the public eye.” Speaking to Fearne Cotton just days before she headed out to Australia, Tulisa went on to explain her long term dreams away from then music and TV spotlight.
On the Happy Place podcast, she added: “I’m going into property. I am actually going to build some themed rentals. So I’m like, a super fantasy geek, all things like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones. And I’ve always wanted to get into the property game. But I was also like, there’s some parts of it that can be a little bit mundane.

“And I was like, ‘How can I do this but also be really passionate about what I’m doing. So why don’t I incorporate, you know, something that I’m super passionate about?’.

“So instead of just like building houses, let’s build themed places that I can rent out. So yeah, at the minute I’m looking for land, I want it to all be very kind of like a nature reserve, you know, cabins in a forest, Hobbit houses. So, yeah, that’s my, my plan for 2024. I’m absolutely buzzing.”
