Tulisa: I couldn't handle the jungle on I'm a Celebrity

Tulisa Contostavlos has dismissed reports she is to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, insisting she couldn't handle the show.

The 26-year-old singer has been linked to the ITV show, but she told Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 that she is focusing on her music career - plus she's too scared to take on the jungle.

Tulisa said: "I wouldn't last five minutes on the show. I can't even handle a spider in my bath. I'm scared of the dark and I've got ultimate epic bug phobia."

The former X Factor judge added: "I'm a musician, I've done TV, but I've never really been a reality TV star and it's not the route I want to go down. When I do TV I want it to be connected to music."

Other celebrities linked to the ITV2 show this year include Tom Daley, Towie's Chloe Sims, Robbie Savage, Corrie's Michelle Keegan, and Diversity's Ashley Banjo.
